Amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were retrospectively adjusted as a result of the accounting for the Business Combination (as defined below in the notes). Specifically, the number of common shares outstanding during periods before the Business Combination are computed on the basis of the number of common shares of Kaleyra S.p.A. (accounting acquiror) during those periods multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the stock purchase agreement. Common stock and net loss per common share, basic and diluted, were retrospectively adjusted accordingly.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Kaleyra, Inc., formerly GigCapital, Inc., (“Kaleyra,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Kaleyra, Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries) was incorporated in Delaware on October 9, 2017. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On December 12, 2017, the Company completed the initial closing of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) whereby the Company sold 12,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. On January 9, 2018, the Company completed the second closing of the IPO with the exercise of the over-allotment option with the consummation of the sale of an additional 1,875,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of 1 share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, three-fourths (3/4) of one warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Warrants”), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon consummation of a business combination (the “Rights”).

No fractional warrants were issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. Any Units that were not separated, prior to the consummation of the Company’s business combination, continued to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “GIG.U”. Any underlying shares of common stock, warrants and rights that were separated, prior to the consummation of the Company’s business combination, traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “GIG,” “GIG.WS” and “GIGr,” respectively.

Kaleyra operates in the API/Communication Platform as a Service or CPaaS(“CPaaS”) market headquartered in Milan, Italy and with operations in Italy, India, Dubai and the United States. Kaleyra S.p.A.’s

Kaleyra’s underlying technology used in the platform is the same across all of its communication services which can generally be described as “omni-channel mobile first interactive notifications via a public or private cloud implementation”. These services include programmable voice/Interactive Voice Response (IVR) configurations, inbound/outbound messaging capabilities, hosted telephone numbers, conversational marketing solutions, include identity authentication, mobile and voiceother types of IP communications services such as e-mail, push notifications, on transactions, and banking services authorizations, most notably via different integrated mobile channels through its platform.WhatsApp®.

On November 25, 2019,February 18, 2021, Kaleyra entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Kaleyra, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Volcano Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Vivial Inc. (“Vivial”) and GSO Special Situations Master Fund LP, solely in its capacity as the Business CombinationStockholder Representative (the “Stockholder Representative”), for the acquisition of the business owned by Vivial known as mGage (“mGage”), a leading global mobile messaging provider (the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “mGage Merger”). Kaleyra will acquire mGage for a total purchase price of approximately $215 million, subject to adjustments. The consideration to mGage shareholders will consist of cash in the amount of $195 million and 1,600,000 shares of Kaleyra common stock. The mGage Merger is expected to be consummated in the second fiscal quarter of 2021. In support of the consummation of the mGage Merger, on February 18, 2021, Kaleyra entered into subscription agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”), each dated February 18, 2021, with certain institutional investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, Kaleyra S.p.A.

For accounting purposes, Kaleyra S.p.A. was deemed the acquiror in the Business Combination.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Kaleyra, Inc. has been treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes.

As a result of the accounting for the Business Combination, the number of common shares authorized and outstanding during periods prior to the Business Combination, have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination. The common stock and additional paid-in capital have also been retrospectively adjusted accordingly. Specifically, the number of common shares outstanding during periods prior to the Business Combination have been computed on the basis of the number of common8,400,000 shares of Kaleyra S.p.A. (accounting acquiror) during those periods multiplied bycommon stock (the “PIPE Shares”) to the exchange ratio establishedPIPE Investors at $12.50 per share.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAPGAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, this interim quarterly financial report does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP. In the opinion of our management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Kaleyra and our consolidated subsidiaries for all periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in the future or for the full fiscal year. It is recommended that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 22, 2020.March 16, 2021.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP applicable for an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act provides among others, that an


emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In particular, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would apply to private companies. For the purpose of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company availed itself of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and, as a result, did not adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for public companies.

On June 24, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with Simest S.p.A., and entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Nomura Securities International, Inc. acting as joint book-running managers and as representativesagreement to postpone repayment of the underwriters named therein (collectively,principal amounts due under the “Underwriters”) relating to the issuance and sale of 7,777,778 sharesexisting Line 3 of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Offering”). The price to the public in the Offering was $4.50 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. Under the termslong-term unsecured financing agreement with Banco Popolare di Milano S.p.A. for a period of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisablesix (6) months. See Note 21 – Subsequent Events – for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 1,166,666 shares of common stock at the public offering price less underwriting discounts. The Offering closed on June 29, 2020 and resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $32.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated Offering expenses payable by the Company, assuming no exercise by the Underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock.

On July 22, 2020, the Underwriters issued notice under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, that they were partially exercising and closed on their option to purchase an additional 984,916 shares of common stock of the Company at the public offering price less underwriting discounts. On the settlement date of July 24, 2020, the additional net proceeds from the overallotment option amounted to $4.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated Offering expenses payable by the Company.further details.

Considering the effects of the Offeringnew financing and the renegotiation described above, and the typical financial cycle of Kaleyra, Kaleyra’sthe Company, management believes that the Company’s cash, cash flows from operations, debt and equity financings and availability of borrowings, will be sufficient to support its planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.


Business seasonality

The Company’s results are affected by the business cycles ofHistorically, Kaleyra has experienced clear seasonality in its customer base, which generally results in stronger revenue generation, with slower traction in the first calendar quarter, and increasing revenues as the year progresses toward the higher revenues in messaging and notification services during the fourth quartercalendar quarter. This patterned revenue generation behavior takes place due to Kaleyra’s customers sending more messages to their end-user customers who are engaged in consumer transactions at the end of the calendar year. We believe this variability is largely due to the market demand for our customers’ and/or business partners’ services due to higher levels of purchasing activityyear, resulting in the holiday season. As a result of our historically higher portion of sales in the fourth quarter of each year, our cost of revenue increases during such period relative to anyan increase in revenue. The increase in costnotifications of revenueelectronic payments, credit card transactions and other impacts of seasonality may affect profitability in a given quarter.e-commerce.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Kaleyra S.p.A., Solutions Infini, and Buc Mobile and The Campaign Registry, which represent its major operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are used for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts; valuation of the Company’s stock-based awards; recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets; capitalization and useful life of the Company’s capitalized internal-use software development costs; fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill; accruals and contingencies, including tax related provisionprovisions and the valuation allowance on deferred taxes. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under current circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and best estimates and judgments may require further adjustments; therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates such estimates and they are adjusted prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. 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 recent outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”).


Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with financial institutions that management believes are financially sound.

The Company sells its services to a wide variety of customers. If the financial condition or results of operations of any significant customers deteriorate substantially, operating results could be adversely affected. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of significant customers. The Company maintains reserves for estimated credit losses on customer accounts when considered necessary. Actual credit losses may differ from the Company’s estimates. In both the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, there was 1 customerwere 0 customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues. In both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there was 1 customer that individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, revenues generated by that one customer accounted for $4.9 million. In the three months ended September 30, 2019, revenues generated by that one customer accounted for $3.5 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenues generated by that one customer accounted for $10.5 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues generated by that one customer accounted for $9.7 million.revenue. As of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, 0 customers and 1 individual customer, respectively, accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total trade receivables. As of December 31, 2020, trade receivables accounted for by that one customer amounted to $4.5 million.

ReclassificationsWarrant Liability

Certain reclassifications have been madeThe Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized in “Financial expense, net” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The liability is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet line item “Other long-term liabilities”. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the common stock warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to the 2019 presentationcommon stock warrants will be reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation, none of which had an effect on total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity (deficit), or net loss.additional paid-in capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020,May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06 “Debt - Debt with Conversion2021-04 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Other OptionsExtinguishments (Subtopic 470-20)470-50), Compensation— Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)815- 40) Issuer’s Accounting for Convertible InstrumentsCertain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” which clarifies and Contractsreduces diversity in an Entity’s Own Equity”, with the purpose to simplify theissuer’s accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options,modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as follows: i) for convertible instruments. Under the amendments in this update, embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion featuresa modification or an exchange that are not requiredis a part of or directly related to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging,a modification or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital.

The amendments in this updateUpdate are effective for public businessall entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding emerging growth companies and entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities,An entity should apply the amendments areprospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. Specifically, certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Amendments in this Update to the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that elect to apply the optional guidance in Topic 848. The amendments do not apply to contract modifications made after December 31, 2022 or new hedging relationships entered into after December 31, 2022. For existing hedging relationships evaluated for effectiveness in periods after December 31, 2022, an exception is made for those hedging relationships that apply certain optional expedients in which the accounting effects are recorded through the end of the hedging relationship (including periods after December 31, 2022). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the optional expedients and exceptions of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued ASU 2020-05 “Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective dates for certain entities” (“ASU 2020-05”), which provides a limited one year deferral of the effective dates of the following updates (including amendments issued after the issuance of the original update) to provide immediate, near-term relief for certain entities for whom these updates are either currently effective or imminently effective: i) Accounting Standards UpdateASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (Revenue)(“Revenue”); ii) Accounting Standards UpdateASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (Leases)(“Leases”). In November 2019, the BoardFASB issued ASU 2019-10 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates” (“ASU 2019-10”). The amendments in this ASU amended certain effective dates for the above ASU


2016-02, Leases (including amendments issued after the issuance of the original ASU). The effective dates for Leases after applying ASU 2019-10 were as follows: public business entities, excluding emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application continues to be allowed. In UpdateASU 2019-10, the BoardFASB noted that challenges associated with transition to a major update are often magnified for private companies and smaller public companies. Those challenges have been significantly amplified by the current business and capital market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, the FASB issued the amendments in this ASU 2020-05 by deferring the effective date for one additional year for entities in the “all other” category that have not yet issued their financial statements (or made financial statements available for issuance) reflecting the adoption of Leases. Therefore, under the amendments, Leases (Topic 842) is effective for entities within the “all other” category for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application continues to be permitted, which means that an entity may choose to implement Leases before those deferred effective dates. TheWhile the Company is currently evaluatingexpects the adoption of the Leases standard (Leases Topic 842) to result in a material increase to the reported assets and liabilities, the Company has not yet determined the full impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply to contract modifications that replace a reference rate (e.g. LIBOR) affected by reference rate reform and contemporaneous modifications of other contract terms related to the replacement of the reference rate (including contract modifications to add or change fallback provisions). The following optional expedients for applying the requirements of certain Topics or Industry Subtopics in the Codification are permitted for contracts that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance: (i) modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 310, Receivables, and 470, Debt, should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate; (ii) modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 840, Leases, and 842, Leases, should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments. For other Topics or Industry Subtopics in the Codification, the amendments also include a general principle that permits an entity to consider contract modifications due to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. When elected, the optional expedients for contract modifications must be applied consistently for all eligible contracts or eligible transactions within the relevant Topic or Industry Subtopic. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted the amendments, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.


In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03 “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments”, which improves various financial instruments Topics in the Codification in order to increase stakeholder awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvement process. The amendments in this ASU clarify or address stakeholders’ specific issues as described below:

Issue 7: Interaction of Topic 326 and Subtopic 860-20: The amendments to Subtopic 860- 20 clarify that when an entity regains control of financial assets sold, an allowance for credit losses should be recorded in accordance with Topic 326.

For Issue 1, 2, 4 and 5, for public business entities, the amendments are effective upon issuance of this final ASU. For all other entities, including emerging growth companies as defined in the JOBS Act, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted. The Company adopted the amendments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

For Issue 3, the effective dates and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in ASU 2019-04, for the guidance related to the amendments in ASU 2016-01. The effective date of ASU 2019-04 for the amendments to ASU 2016-01 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the amendments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

For Issue 6 and 7, the effective dates and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in ASU 2016-13.

Early adoption is permitted in any interim period as long as the entity has adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842), Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU applies to all registrants that are creditors in loan transactions that, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the registrant’s financial condition. This ASU guidance is applicable upon a registrant’s adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326. On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of ASC Topic 326 for certain small public companies and other private companies. As amended, the effective date of ASC Topic 326 was delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, as well as private companies and not-for-profit entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

For publicall entities as follows: Public business entities that meet the amendments indefinition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application continues to be allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

b)ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Hedging). The effective dates for Hedging after applying this ASU are effectiveas follows: Public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application continues to be allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract”. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including emerging growth companies asadoption in any interim period, for all entities. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company adopted the amendments, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20)”, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined in the JOBS Act, thebenefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 for public business entities and for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021 for all other entities. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company adopted the amendments, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test that requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective prospectively for public business entities for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years.for other entities. Early adoption is permitted including early adoption in anfor interim period, (1) for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance.or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In AugustJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework—Changes2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses”, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the Disclosure Requirementsscope of Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for Fair Value Measurement”. The amendments under ASU 2018-13 remove, add, and modify certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in ASC 820. In particular, the following disclosure were added: (i) The changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; (ii) The range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendmentsaccordance with Topic 842, Leases. These ASUs are effective for allpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and for other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Earlier application is permitted. As noted above, the effective date of this ASU has now been delayed for two years by the issuance of ASU 2019-10. The amendmentsCompany is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on changesits condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”, which was further clarified by ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases”, and ASU 2018-11, “Leases—Targeted Improvements”, both issued in unrealized gainsJuly 2018. ASU 2016-02 affects all entities that lease assets and losses,will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (except for short-term leases that have a duration of less than one year) as of the rangedate on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. ASU 2018-10 clarifies or corrects unintended application of guidance related to ASU 2016-02. The amendment affects narrow aspects of ASU 2016-02 related to the implicit rate in the lease, impairment of the net investment in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and weighted averagepurchase options, variable payments that depend on an index or rate and certain transition adjustments. ASU 2018-11 adds a transition option for all entities and a practical expedient only for lessors. The transition option allows entities to not apply the new lease standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of significant unobservable inputs usedadoption. Under the transition option, entities can opt to develop Level 3 fair value measurements should be applied prospectively for onlycontinue to apply the most recent interim or annual periodlegacy guidance in ASC 840, “Leases”, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative prior periods presented in the initialyear they adopt the new lease standard. Entities that elect this transition option will still be required to adopt the new leases standard using the modified retrospective transition method required by the standard, but they will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. The new standards are effective for fiscal year of adoption. Allyears beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for a public business entity. For all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company adoptedentities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Earlier application is permitted. As noted above, the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, andeffective date of this ASU has now been delayed for two years by the issuance of ASU 2020-05. While the Company expects the adoption did not haveof these standards to result in a material increase to the reported assets and liabilities, the Company has not yet determined the full impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Based on the information available at the reporting date, the preference shares liability was estimated on the basis of present value of the expected future cash flows contractually due in connection with the achievement of specified levels of EBITDA of Solutions Infini for the year ended March 31, 2020. Such cash flows are contractually predetermined and the maximum pay-out was assumed in determining the estimate which is primarily based on the expected EBITDA sourced from the most updated business plan, which represented management best estimates and was significantly above the targeted EBITDA. Changes in the liability during the period are due to (i) compensation expense accrued on a straight-line basis during period; (ii) accrued interest expense due to the fact that the obligation was to be settled in 2020; and (iii) exchange rate differences. No fair value changes were recognized during the period.

The Company generated a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and generated a net income and a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Accordingly, the effect of dilutive securities is not considered in the net loss per share for the periods in which a net loss was generated because their effect would be anti-dilutive on the net loss per share.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock equivalents, which were excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive, was 16,803,358 and 17,184,630, respectively (0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively).

Warrants17. WARRANTS

Warrants will only be exercisable for whole shares at $11.50 per share. Under the terms of the Warrantwarrant agreement dated December 12, 2017 (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a new registration statement under the Securities Act, following the completion of the Business Combination, for the registration of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants there were included in the Units.warrants. That registration statement was filed by the Company on May 4, 2020 and declared effective by the SEC on May 8, 2020. NaN fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants.warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants,warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the


nearest whole number for the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the Warrantwarrant holder. Each Warrantwarrant became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of common stock to the holder upon exercise of the Warrants during the exercise period, there will be 0 net cash settlement of these Warrants and the Warrants will expire worthless, unless they may be exercised on a cashless basis in the circumstances described in the Warrant agreement. Once the Warrants becomewarrants became exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrantswarrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Warrantwarrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, only in the event that the last sale price of the Company’s shares of common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrantwarrant holders.

On September 30, 2020, Kaleyra entered intoApril 12, 2021, the SEC issued a Warrant Exchange Agreement with Riverview Group LLCSEC Staff Statement on “Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“Riverview”SPACs”) (the “Riverview Agreement”“SEC Staff Statement”). Riverview previously acquiredThe SEC Staff Statement addresses certain accounting and reporting considerations related to warrants of a kind similar to purchase an aggregate of 3,780,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, initiallythose issued by the Company inat the time of its initial public offering in December 2019. Based on ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, warrant instruments that do not meet the criteria to be considered indexed to an entity’s own stock shall be initially classified as liabilities at their estimated fair values. In periods subsequent to issuance, changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative instruments should be reported in the consolidated statements of operations. Following the SEC Staff Statement, management evaluated the fact pattern set forth within Kaleyra’s Warrant Agreement and concluded that the warrants issued in connection with private placements that occurred in December 7, 2017. Pursuant2017 and January 2018 concurrently with its initial public offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”) should have been recorded as a liability at fair value as the Private Placement Warrants were not considered to be indexed to the Riverview Agreement,entity’s own stock. Because the transfer of Private Placement Warrants to anyone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees would result in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as warrants issued in the Company’s initial public offering, management determined that the fair value of each Private Placement Warrant approximates the fair value of its publicly traded warrants.

Management analyzed the impact of this error on October 2, 2020, Riverview surrendered the warrant sharesCompany’s prior consolidated financial statements beginning from the date when the Private Placement Warrants were issued and concluded that the adjustments were immaterial to any period presented in previously issued consolidated financial statements. The out-of-period adjustment related to the prior periods was also immaterial to the three months ended March 31, 2021. As a result of this analysis, the Company issuedcorrected this error in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The correction resulted in an aggregateincrease of 850,500$534,000 in other long-term liabilities, a decrease of $344,000 in additional paid-in capital and an increase of $190,000 in financial expense, net. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $1.3 million, including the $190,000 attributable to prior periods, in financial expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the change in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants.

As of March 31, 2021, there were 7,125,232 warrants outstanding, following the exercise of 249,706 warrants during the three-month period ended thereof.

The Company generated a net loss for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Accordingly, the effect of dilutive securities is not considered in the loss per share for such periods because their effect would be anti-dilutive on the net loss per share.

18.20. REVENUE

Revenue Recognition

The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for credits and any taxes collected from customers. Taxes collected are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

• Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

• Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

• Determination of the transaction price;

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;


Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

• Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Nature of Products and Services

The Company's revenue is primarily derived from usage-based fees earned from the sale of communications services offered through software solutions to large enterprises, as well as small and medium-sized customers.

The Company’s revenue is recognized upon the sending of a SMS message or by the authentication of a financial transaction of an end user of the Company’s customer using the Company’s platform in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services which is generally based upon agreed fixed prices per unit.

Platform access is considered a monthly serviceseries comprised of one performance obligation and usage-based fees are recognized as revenue in the period in which the usage occurs. After usage occurs, there are no remaining obligations that would preclude revenue recognition. Revenue from usage-based fees represented 98% and 98% of total revenue forin both the threethree-month period ended March 31, 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively (98% and 98% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively).2020.

Subscription-based fees are derived from certain term-based contracts, such as with the sales of short codes and customer support, which is generally one year. Term-based contract revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the contractual term of the arrangement beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer.

Revenue from term-based fees represented 2% and 2% of total revenue forin both the threethree-month period ended March 31, 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively (2% and 2% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively).2020.

The Company's arrangements do not contain general rights of return. The contracts do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the applications. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in trade receivables and in revenue or deferred revenue depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Contract Balances

The Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in its contracts. Contract assets are recorded when the Company has a conditional right to consideration for its completed performance under the contracts. Trade receivables are recorded when the right to this consideration becomes unconditional, which is as usage occurs. The Company did not have any contract assets as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

Deferred revenue is recorded when cash payments are received in advance of future usage on non-cancellable contracts. As of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company recorded $1.5$3.1 million and $1.4$3.7 million, respectively, as deferred revenue in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $80,000 and $1.0$1.6 million respectively, of revenue in its condensed consolidated statements of operations that was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2019.2020.

Kaleyra provides its customers and business partners with a trusted cloud communications platform (the “Platform”) that seamlessly integrates software services and applications for business-to-consumer communications between Kaleyra’s customers and their end-user customers and partners on a global basis. These communications are increasingly managed through mobile network operators as the gateway to reach end-user consumers’ mobile devices.

Reported amounts from operations included herein prior to the Business Combination are those of Kaleyra S.p.A. The shares and net loss per share available to holders of Kaleyra’s common stock, prior to the Business Combination, have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.

COVID-19

The current COVID-19 pandemic has affected and will continue to affect economies and business around the world. To date, various governmental authorities and private enterprises have implemented numerous measures to contain the pandemic, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns, which have led to severe disruptions to the global economies that may continue for a prolonged duration and trigger a recession or a period of economic slowdown. We do not yet knowThe magnitude and duration of the full extentresulting decline in business activity and operations cannot be measured with any degree of potential impacts on ourcertainty. Indeed, during the pandemic, Kaleyra experienced fluctuations in its services carrying less revenue-generating traffic in areas subject to “shelter in place” restrictions or related government orders. Nonetheless, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, Kaleyra accounted for increasing revenues business operations or overall financial condition. At this stage, revenues are expected to confirm their increasing trend oncewhen compared to the previoussame period of prior year, despite a foreseen negative impact in terms of gross marginality. TheAt this stage, the extent and duration of the pandemic, and its foreseeable unfolding following the worldwide vaccine campaigns, is highlystill uncertain and difficult to predict.predict, also considering the severity of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic currently hitting the Indian regions. Kaleyra is actively monitoring and managing its response and assessing actual and potential impacts to its operating results and financial condition, which could also impact trends and expectations.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

In December 2019, RSUs were granted to certain employees, directors and advisory board members of Kaleyra for a total of 3,336,095 RSUs shares with an aggregate grant date fair value of $27.5 million, based on a per share grant date fair value of $8.25.

In March 2020, the Board���s Compensation Committee approved the grant of 113,506 RSUs to a new manager of Kaleyra.

In May 2020, the Board approved the grant of 447,714 RSUs to three new mangers and two new advisory board members of Kaleyra.

On August 6, 2020, the Board’s Compensation Committee approved the grant of 500,200 RSUs to sixty-nine employees of the Company as part of Kaleyra’s retention plan.

RSUs compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $4.9 million of which $1.2 million is recorded in research and development, $1.3 million in sales and marketing, and $2.5 million in general and administrative.

As of September 30, 2020, there was $16.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs.

Preference shares liabilities and accrued performance bonuses

Preference shares liabilities amounting to zero and $2.5 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, represent Kaleyra’s obligation to purchase in 2020 the preference shares from certain employees of Solutions Infini as a part of the Solutions Infini 2018 Purchase Agreement.

On March 9, 2020, Kaleyra signed a modification of the 2018 Solutions Infini Purchase Agreement to reduce the price of the preference shares to be purchased from the eligible employees of Solutions Infini in July 2020 to their face value, amounting to Indian Rupee 10.0 per each preference share. As a result of this modification, effective on January 30, 2020, the total preference shares obligation was reduced to Indian Rupee 132,000 ($2,000 at the July 31, 2020 exchange rate) and paid in full on July 31, 2020.

On January 31, 2020, Kaleyra agreed to pay, to the eligible employees of the preference shares, performance bonuses for a total amount of $3.5 million, to be paid in 2020, as a replacement of the preference shares obligation.

On March 24, 2020, given the prevailing situation of the COVID-19 pandemic both globally and in India, Kaleyra agreed with two of the eligible employees to delay payment of their performance bonuses, for a total amount of $1.4 million, and evaluate the timeline for payment thereof at a later date.

On July 31, 2020, following the resolution of the Board of Directors of Solutions Infini, the payment of the previously outstanding performance bonus obligation with two of the eligible employees was paid on August 31, 2020 for $1.4 million (at the August 31, 2020 exchange rate).

As of September 30, 2020, the outstanding performance bonus obligation payable to the eligible employees amounted to $2.1 million.

As a result of the modification and agreements described above, $2.5 million of preference shares obligation was reversed to the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $3.7 million of performance bonuses were recorded in the same period resulting in a $1.2 million net impact to the condensed consolidated statement of operations (before tax).


For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the net impact of the preference shares amendment and the performance bonus agreements, on loss before income tax expense (benefit) was as follows (in thousands):

unsecured Merger Convertible Notes. Management currently plans to retain the cash in the jurisdictions where these funds are currently held. Kaleyra believes its cash, cash flows from operations and availability of borrowings will be sufficient to support its planned operations for at least the next 12 months.

Kaleyra finances its operations through a combination of cash generated from operations and from borrowings under Kaleyra bank facilities primarily with banks located in Italy. Kaleyra’s long-term cash needs primarily include meeting debt service requirements, working capital requirements and capital expenditures.

Kaleyra may also pursue strategic acquisition opportunities, such as the proposed acquisition of mGage, that may impact its future cash requirements. There are a number of factors that may negatively impact its available sources of funds in the future including the ability to generate cash from operations, obtain additional financing or refinance existing short-term debt obligations, including those related to acquisitions completed in prior periods.periods and including the obligation related to the forward share purchase agreements in case the third-parties involved exercise their put options. The amount of cash generated from operations is dependent upon factors such as the successful execution of Kaleyra’s business strategies and worldwide economic conditions. The amount of debt available under future financings is dependent on Kaleyra’s ability to maintain adequate cash flow for debt service and sufficient collateral, and general financial conditions in Kaleyra’s market.

If additional financing is required from outside sources, Kaleyra may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to it or at all. If Kaleyra is unable to raise additional capital when desired, Kaleyra’s business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Kaleyra has a number of long-standing business and banking relationships with major Italian commercial banks where it maintains both cash accounts and a credit relationship. Historically, Kaleyra has used cash generated from operations to fund its growth and investment opportunities. As Kaleyra’s management made the decision to expand its operations outside of Italy and acquired additional companies, it took on certain additional financing in order to fund cash payments due on the acquisitions. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, Kaleyra’s total bank and other borrowings, including amounts drawn under the revolving credit line facilities was $47.7$43.5 million ($27.348.0 million as of December 31, 2019)2020).

Liquidity

Kaleyra funds its short- and long-term liquidity needs through a combination of cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and borrowings under credit facilities. Kaleyra’s management regularly monitors certain liquidity measures to monitor performance.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 includes total current assets of $87.9 million and total current liabilities of $71.7 million, resulting in net current assets of $16.2 million.

The Business Combination generated significant obligations including (i) $13.1 million of liabilities related to non-recurring Business Combination transaction related costs; (ii) $15.0 million of deferred consideration to the Sellers in the Business Combination transaction (iii) $13.2 million of net obligations under certain Shares Purchase Forward Agreements entered into by GigCapital Inc. prior to the Business Combination; and (iv) $3.6 million of notes payable acquired as a result of the Business Combination. As of March 31, 2021, the Company still had the following remaining obligations as a result of the Business Combination:

(i) $405,000 of liabilities related to non-recurring Business Combination transaction related costs;

(ii) $3.75 million of deferred consideration to the Sellers in the Business Combination transaction; and


Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with Simest S.p.A., and entered into an agreement to postpone repayment of the principal amounts due under the existing Line 3 of the long-term unsecured financing agreement with Banco Popolare di Milano S.p.A. for a period of six (6) months. See Note 21 – Subsequent Events – to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.

Considering the effects of the new financing and the renegotiation described above, and the typical financial cycle of the Company, management believes that the Company’s cash, cash flows from operations, debt and equity financings and availability of borrowings, will be sufficient to support its planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

Seasonality

Kaleyra’s results are affected by the business cycles ofHistorically, Kaleyra has experienced clear seasonality in its customer base, which generally results in stronger revenue generation, with slower traction in the first calendar quarter, and increasing revenues as the year progresses toward the higher revenues in messaging and notification services during the fourth quartercalendar quarter. This patterned revenue generation behavior takes place due to Kaleyra’s customers sending more messages to their end-user customers who are engaged in consumer transactions at the end of the calendar year. Kaleyra believes this variability is largely due to the market’s demand for its customers’ and/or business partners’ services due to higher levels of purchasing activityyear, resulting in the holiday season. As a result of our historically higher portion of sales in the fourth quarter of each year, our cost of revenue increases during such period relative to anyan increase in revenue.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, Kaleyra may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. Kaleyra is not currently involved in any material legal proceedings as a defendant.

On October 17, 2018, Kaleyra filed a claim against Vodafone Italia S.p.A. (“Vodafone”) before the Court of Milan seeking compensation in the amount of €6.1 million ($6.87.5 million at the June 30,December 31, 2020 exchange rate) for all the damages suffered as a consequence of the illicit and anticompetitive conduct of Vodafone, as previously determined by the Italian Antitrust Authority (namely, Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato or AGCM) in their decisions issued on December 13, 2017; Vodafone has appealed that sanctioning resolution before the Italian Regional Administrative Court.

The deadline for filing a counterclaim by Vodafone has passed and according to Italian Law, Vodafone is no longer entitled to file a counterclaim against Kaleyra in these proceedings. Both Kaleyra and Vodafone have filed their final pleadings on October 1, 2019 and October 21, 2019.

The Court of Milan has decided to suspend the procedure, through order no. 1570 on May 18, 2020. The decision of the Court of Milan is based on procedural reasons only (concerning the unprecedented definition of the relationship between administrative and civil proceedings in the case at hand) and does not analyze or take into any consideration the merits of the action brought by Kaleyra. The procedural suspension ordered by the Court of Milan shall last until the appeal brought by Vodafone before the Italian Regional Administrative Court against the decision of the Italian Antitrust Authority will beis concluded with a definitive judgment. Accordingly, following the order of suspension issued by the Civil Court of Milan, on August 10, 2020, Kaleyra filed a request to speed up the scheduling of the hearing in relation to the pending appeal before the Italian Regional Administrative Court brought by Vodafone Italia. The Court upheld Kaleyra’s request and the hearing will takehas taken place on February 24, 2021. Accordingly, the parties submitted their final defenses. The decision is expected to be released in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. The outcome of such action cannot be determined at this time. Therefore, no recognition of these actions has been made in any of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

On April 16, 2019, Kaleyra filed a claim against Telecom Italia S.p.A and Telecom Italia Sparkle S.p.A. before the Court of Milan seeking compensation in the amount of €8.3 million ($9.310.2 million at the June 30,December 31, 2020 exchange rate) for damages suffered after the illicit conduct of both counterparts, determined by the Italian Antitrust Authority in the decision issued on December 13, 2017.

At the first hearing before the Court of Milan held for the appearance of the parties on December 11, 2019, the judge reserved the decision on the possible suspension of the case in consideration of the appeal brought by Telecom Italia S.p.A and Telecom Italia Sparkle S.p.A. against the Italian Antitrust Authority’s decision of December 13, 2017 before the Regional Administrative Court, which is currently pending.

By order issued on December 14, 2019, the judge released his reserve and referred the issue concerning the relation between the assessment of the pending administrative case and the one to be carried out in the civil case to a panel composed of three judges. The case was therefore adjourned for a hearing on April 29, 2020 where the parties had to file their final pleadings.

On April 9, 2020, following the measures taken by the Italian legislator for the Covid-19 emergency,COVID-19 pandemic, the above-mentioned hearing has beenwas postponed to and then held on October 7, 2020;2020. At the hearing of October 7, 2020, the parties exposed their closing arguments and the decision on the preliminary question as to the suspension of the civil proceedings has been reserved to a panel composed of three judges. The parties also submitted written observations concerning the preliminary question.

On January 7, 2021, the Court issued an order by which the civil proceedings have been assignedsuspended until the December 28, 2020 due date to file their final pleadings. Afterwardsdecision in the Court will decide the case. Such decision is expectedpending administrative case – which was deemed to be issuedprejudicial to the civil one – becomes final (i.e., it is no longer subject to appeal). The order was communicated to the parties via certified electronic mail on January 11, 2021.

In light of the average duration of cases before the Italian Administrative Courts and the Defendants’ interest in approximately ithe first quarterboth having the Italian Competition Authority’s Decision annulled and procrastinating the administrative case (on which the civil proceedings now depend pursuant to the above-mentioned order) for dilatory purposes, the civil case is unlikely to proceed in the short term. In order to speed up the administrative proceedings (and thus the civil case), on February 9, 2021, Kaleyra filed an application with the Administrative Court of 2021.Latium requesting that the hearing on the merits of the case be held as soon as possible. However, neither the outcome of Kaleyra’s civil action nor its duration is predictable at this time.

The outcome of such civil action cannot be determined at this time. Therefore, no recognition of these actions has been made in any of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.


In addition to the above, Kaleyra has appealed the resolutions issued by the Italian Communications Authority (namely, Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni or AGCom) concerning thetheir request for the annual contributionfee to AGCom for years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

The first instance proceeding against AGCom’s resolutions for the 2016 contribution was successful for Kaleyra and the Italian Regional Administrative Court annulled the resolutions Kaleyra had appealed (judgement no. 2161/2019). However, AGCom filed its second instance appeal before the Council of State seeking the overruling of the Court’s decision. The appeal has been regularly discussed at the hearing of September 17, 2020 and the Council of State issued its decision number 6175/2020 on October 13, 2020, overruling in part the Regional Court Decision.  AGCom will have to recalculate the annual contribution due from Kaleyra for year 2016. However, the annual contribution is not considered material to Kaleyra’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

For the annual contribution to AGCom relating the years 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 the legal proceedings are currently pending before the Italian Regional Administrative Court and no hearing has been scheduled yet. However, the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”) has already delivered its decision on the request for a preliminary ruling submitted by the Council of State on the relevant EU law (case C-399/18). Such decision was delivered on April 29, 2020, in accordance with a simplified procedure due to the previous issuance by the ECJ of a number of judgements on the matter.


Finally, Kaleyra took part in two appeals brought before the Regional Administrative Court of Latium (namely, Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale del Lazio or “TAR Lazio”) by, respectively, an Association of Content Service Providers (“CSP”) for Value Added Services on mobile network (“VAS”), and one singular CSP, against a specific resolution of the Italian Communications Authority regarding the rules for applying a barring mechanism on the SIM of the final users of VAS (resolution no. 10/21/CONS). Kaleyra filed its interventions in both the judicial proceedings to support the measures issued by AGCom.

Specifically, following the hearing before TAR Lazio that took place on March 17, 2021, the Court has issued two orders (no. 1748 and no. 1751, dated March 18, 2021) that rejected the precautionary measures requested by both the plaintiffs, upholding the position represented by Kaleyra to support the legitimacy of the above mentioned resolution. Following the definition of the precautionary phase, both appeals are likely to be discussed on the merits in the next months. As of today, TAR Lazio has not scheduled any further hearing, hence there is no imminent deadline with regard to those judicial proceedings. For the sake of completeness, the final judgments of TAR Lazio on the two appeals above shall not result in any economic direct impact for Kaleyra.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have revised the risk factors that relate to our business, as set forth below. These risks include any material changes to and supersede any similar the risks previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 and otherwise supplement those risks. We encourage investors to review the risk factors and uncertainties relating to our business disclosed in that Form 10-K, as well as those contained in Part 1, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, above.

Unfavorable global economic conditions could adversely affect Kaleyra’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Kaleyra’s results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets. Furthermore, the most recent global financial crisis caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn, including due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in a variety of risks to Kaleyra’s business, including a reduced ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all. Any of the foregoing could harm its business and Kaleyra cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact its business.

Kaleyra is unable to predict the extent to which the global COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact Kaleyra’s business operations, financial performance, results of operations and stock price.

The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to control its spread have significantly curtailed the movement of people, goods and services worldwide, including in most or all of the regions in which Kaleyra sells its products and services and conducts its business operations. Kaleyra also has its headquarters in Milan, Italy, which has been severely affected by the first wave of COVID-19 and the resulting government lockdowns to attempt to contain the spread of COVID-19. A second wave of COVID-19 pandemic is currently affecting a large number of countries across the globe, and additional government restrictions are expected to reduce the resurgence in the pandemic infections. The magnitude and duration of the resulting decline in business activity cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty and threatens to (1) negatively impact the demand for its products and services, especially in those locations subject to “shelter in place” restrictions or similar government orders, (2) restrict its sales operations and marketing efforts, and (3) disrupt other important business activities in its various locations, some of which are also in areas affected by COVID-19. For example, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain industry events that Kaleyra sponsors or at which Kaleyra presents and certain customer events have been canceled, postponed or moved to virtual-only experiences; Kaleyra is encouraging all of its employees to work remotely; and Kaleyra may deem it advisable to similarly alter, postpone or cancel entirely additional customer, employee or industry events in the future. Additionally, Kaleyra may see its services carrying less revenue-generating traffic in areas subject to “shelter in place” restrictions or related government orders as the population of those areas refrain from traveling and normal commerce activities. Accordingly, Kaleyra expects the COVID-19 pandemic to potentially have a negative impact on its sales and its results of operations in those areas adversely affected by COVID-19, the size and duration of which Kaleyra is currently unable to predict. In addition, Kaleyra’s implementation of business continuity plans in a fast-moving public health emergency could have an adverse effect on its internal controls (potentially giving rise to significant discrepancies or material weaknesses) and increase its vulnerability to information technology and other systems discrepancies. Furthermore, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which has and may continue to adversely impact Kaleyra’s stock price and its ability to access capital.

Kaleyra currently generates significant revenue from its largest customers, and the loss or decline in revenue from any of these customers could limit Kaleyra’s revenue and results of operations.

In the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,March 31, 2021, Kaleyra’s 10 largest customers generated an aggregate of 53.1% and 48.9%47.4% of its revenue, respectively. The churn rate, calculated asrevenue. In the annual rate at whichthree months ended March 31, 2020, Kaleyra’s existing10 largest customers stopped subscribing forgenerated an aggregate of 49.0% of its services, was equal to zero in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.revenue. In the event that Kaleyra’s large customers do not continue to use its products, use fewer of its products, or use its products in a more limited capacity, or not at all, Kaleyra’s revenue could be limited and Kaleyra’s business could be harmed.

Kaleyra must increase the network traffic and resulting revenue from the services that it offers to realize its targets for anticipated revenue growth, cash flow and operating performance.


For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, 75.5% of revenues came from customers of Kaleyra which have been on the Platform for at least one year. Kaleyra must increase the network traffic and resulting revenue from its inbound and outbound voice calling, text messaging, telephone numbers and related services at acceptable margins to realize Kaleyra’s targets for anticipated revenue growth, cash flow and operating performance. If Kaleyra does not maintain or improve its current relationships with existing key customers; is not able to expand the available capacity on its network to meet its customers’ demands in a timely manner; does not develop new large enterprise customers; or its customers determine to obtain these services from either their own network or from one of Kaleyra’s competitors, then Kaleyra may be unable to increase or maintain its revenue at acceptable margins.

Kaleyra has limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices for its product.

Kaleyra charges its customers based on their use of its products. Kaleyra expects that it may need to change its pricing from time to time. In the past Kaleyra has sometimes reduced their prices either for individual customers in connection with long-term agreements or for a particular product. One of the challenges to Kaleyra’s pricing is that the fees that they pay to network service providers over whose networks Kaleyra transmits communications can vary daily or weekly and are affected by volume and other factors that may be outside of Kaleyra’s control and difficult to predict. This can result in Kaleyra incurring increased costs that Kaleyra may be unable or unwilling to pass through to its customers, which could harm Kaleyra’s business. Kaleyra is seeking to expand its business in the United States as Kaleyra believes that doing so will result in termination fees (which are the pass-through charge to access the network or carrier) that are significantly lower than the termination fees Kaleyra is subject to in the other countries where it operates, which Kaleyra expects would result in higher gross margins, especially with its enterprise customers. However, there are no assurances that Kaleyra will be successful in this expansion or achieving the related termination fee gross margin improvement. Further, as competitors introduce new products or services that compete with Kaleyra’s or reduce their prices, Kaleyra may be unable to attract new customers or retain existing customers based on Kaleyra’s historical pricing. As Kaleyra expands internationally, Kaleyra also must determine the appropriate price to enable Kaleyra to compete effectively internationally. Moreover, enterprises, which are a primary focus for Kaleyra’s direct sales efforts, may demand substantial price concessions. In addition, if the mix of products sold changes, including for a shift to Internet protocol (“IP”) based products, then Kaleyra may need to, or choose to, revise its pricing. As a result, in the future Kaleyra may be required or choose to reduce its prices or change its pricing model, which could harm Kaleyra’s business.

Kaleyra has experienced rapid internal growth as well as growth through acquisitions in recent periods. If Kaleyra fails to manage its growth effectively, or its business does not grow as expected, Kaleyra’s operating results may suffer.

Kaleyra’s headcount and operations have grown substantially. Kaleyra had more than 300over 370 employees as of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, as compared with 258260 employees as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.  This growth has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on Kaleyra’s operational, financial, and management infrastructure. Kaleyra anticipates further increases in headcount will be required to support increases in its technology offerings and continued expansion. To manage this growth effectively, Kaleyra must continue to improve its operational, financial, and management systems and controls by, among other things:

effectively attracting, training, and integrating a large number of new employees, particularly technical personnel and members of Kaleyra’s management and sales teams;

further improving Kaleyra’s key business systems, processes, and information technology infrastructure to support Kaleyra’s business needs;

enhancing Kaleyra’s information and communication systems to ensure that Kaleyra’s employees are well-coordinated and can effectively communicate with each other and Kaleyra’s customers; and


improving Kaleyra’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures to ensure timely and accurate reporting of Kaleyra’s operational and financial results.

If Kaleyra fails to manage its expansion or implement Kaleyra’s new systems, or if Kaleyra fails to implement improvements or maintain effective internal controls and procedures, Kaleyra’s costs and expenses may increase more than expected and Kaleyra may not expand its client base, increase existing customer volumes and renewal rates, enhance its existing applications, develop new applications, satisfy its customers, respond to competitive pressures, or otherwise execute its business plan. If Kaleyra is unable to manage its growth, Kaleyra’s operating results likely will be harmed.

Kaleyra’s future success depends in part on its ability to drive the adoption of its products by international customers.

world increased from 6.5%9.7% in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 to 9.1%13.5% in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. This is in line with the expansion strategy out of Italy and India identified by Kaleyra.the Company. The future success of Kaleyra’s business will depend, in part, on Kaleyra ability to expand its customer base worldwide in new geographies. If Kaleyra is unable to increase the revenue that it derives from international customers, Kaleyra’s business and results of operations could be harmed.

If Kaleyra’s goodwill or intangible assets become impaired, Kaleyra may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.

Kaleyra reviews its intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, Kaleyra carried a net $24.5$23.8 million of goodwill and intangible assets. An adverse change in market conditions, particularly if such change has the effect of changing one of Kaleyra’s critical assumptions or estimates, could result in a change to the estimation of fair value that could result in an impairment charge to Kaleyra’s goodwill or intangible assets. Any such charges may adversely affect Kaleyra’s results of operations.

Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

As of December 31, 2019, we had federal, state and foreign net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards totaling $11.6 million, $11.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively. However, our ability to utilize these NOLs to offset taxable income may be limited in the future. A corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is typically subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-ownership change NOLs to offset future taxable income. In general, under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), an ownership change occurs if the aggregate stock ownership of certain stockholders (generally 5% stockholders, applying certain look-through and aggregation rules) increases by more than 50 percentage points over such stockholders’ lowest percentage ownership during the testing period (generally three years). Purchases or salesCertain of our warrants are accounted for as a warrant liability and are recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of Kaleyra common stock.

Kaleyra has 373,692 warrants that were issued in private placements that occurred concurrently with its initial public offering (the “private warrants”). These private warrants and the shares of Kaleyra common stock in amounts greater than specified levels could create a limitation on our ability to utilize our NOLs for tax purposes inissuable upon the future. Limitations imposed on our ability to utilize NOLs could cause U.S. federal and state income taxes to be paid earlier than would be paid if such limitations were not in effect.

Furthermore, we may not be able to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our NOLs before they expire. In addition, NOLs incurred in one state generally are not available to offset income earned in a different state and there may be periods during which the use of NOLs is suspended or otherwise limited for state tax purposes, which could accelerate or permanently increase state taxes owed.

Kaleyra’s structure may be inefficient from a tax perspective.

Kaleyra S.p.A. is a controlled foreign corporation of Kaleyra for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This means that a substantial partexercise of the net income, if any, of Kaleyra S.p.A.private warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and its non-U.S. subsidiaries will be taxable to Kaleyra without regard to whether a dividend is paid to Kaleyra, subject to available foreign tax credits and a special deduction. Moreover, because Kaleyra S.p.A. has a U.S. subsidiary,are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the resulting structure (sometimes referred to as a “sandwich structure”) would be subject to multiple levels of tax. Generally speaking, it is difficult to simplify a sandwich structure without incurring taxes in oneinitial purchasers or more jurisdictions.

Kaleyra’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides, subject to limited exceptions, thattheir permitted transferees. If the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit Kaleyra’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with Kaleyra or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

Kaleyra’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires, to the fullest extent permittedprivate warrants are held by law, that derivative actions brought in Kaleyra’s name, actions against its directors, officers, and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel except any action (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forumsomeone other than the Courtinitial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering, in which case the 373,692 private warrants could be redeemed by the Company for $3,737. Under U.S. GAAP, Kaleyra is required to evaluate contingent exercise provisions of Chancery, (C)these warrants and then their settlement provisions to determine whether they should be accounted for whichas a warrant liability or as equity. Any settlement amount not equal to the Courtdifference between the fair value of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act, as to which the Court of Chancery and the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in sharesa fixed number of Kaleyra’s capitalequity shares and a fixed monetary amount precludes these warrants from being considered indexed to its own stock, shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorabletherefore, from being accounted for disputes with Kaleyra or any of its directors, officers, or employees which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although Kaleyra’s stockholders will not be deemed to have waived Kaleyra’s compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. However, there is no assurance that a court would enforce the choice of forum provision contained in Kaleyra’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. If a court were to find such provision to be inapplicable or


unenforceable in an action, Kaleyra may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm its business, operating results and financial condition.

Kalerya’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the exclusive forum provision will be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.as equity. As a result of the exclusive forum provision that the private warrants, when held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability createdbe redeemable by the Exchange Act or any other claimCompany, the requirements for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

accounting for these warrants as equity are not satisfied. Therefore, Kaleyra may beis required to purchase up to 1,666,930 shares of common stock pursuant to forward share purchase agreements, thereby reducing cash available to Kaleyraaccount for other purposes.

Kaleyra prior tothese private warrants as a warrant liability and record (a) that liability at fair value, which was determined as the consummationsame as the fair value of the Business Combination entered into the Forward Share Purchase Agreement with Yakira Capital Management, Inc. (“Yakira”), as well as the Confirmation with NGFP for the Forward Transaction.

The Yakira Purchase Agreement, as amended, pertains to shares issued to Yakira upon the conversion of the rights it held prior to the closing of the Business Combination and provides that Kaleyra may be obligated to purchase the shares if Yakira exercises an option to sell such shares to Kaleyra. The number of shares held by Yakira covered by such Forward Share Purchase Agreement is 43,930 shares. If Yakira exercises its respective option, Kaleyra will have to expend funds to purchase those shares, which will reduce the cash available to Kaleyra for other purposes. The price at which Kaleyra would have to purchase such shares is $10.93 per share. Yakira has the right to put to Kaleyra its shares as soon as practicable on or after (but no later than the fifth business day after) December 31, 2020.

Kaleyra has also entered into the Confirmation with NGFP with regard to the Nomura Shares, which shares NGFP held at the closing of the Business Combination. The Confirmation confirms the terms and conditions of the Forward Transaction entered into between Kaleyra and NGFP. Pursuant to the terms of the Confirmation, as amended, NGFP agreed to waive any redemption right that would have required the redemption of the Nomura Shares at the closing of the Business Combination at a price of $10.5019 per share. Rather, NGFP, at its sole discretion, may either sell such shares in one or more transactions, publicly or privately, at a market price of at least $10.50 per share, or hold such shares through November 25, 2021, at which time Kaleyra will be required to purchase from NGFP, and NGFP will be required to sell to the us, any such shares not otherwise previously sold by NGFP. The Confirmation provided that Kaleyra transfer an amount of cash equal to (a) the aggregate number of shares held by NGFP multiplied by (b) $10.5019. As a result, these amounts transferred to NGFP will not be available to Kaleyra unless and until NGFP sell such shareswarrants included in the market. Furthermore, if NGFP sells shares to Kaleyra, NGFP will keep that portion of the cash transferred to it following the closing of the Business Combination attributable to such sharesunits sold to Kaleyra, plus an accrual amount equal to 3.50% per annum, on November 25, 2021. If NGFP sells shares to it, Kaleyra will have to expend funds to purchase shares from NGFP, which will reduce the cash available to it for other purposes.

There may be a limited public market for the shares of common stock of Kaleyra, and the ability of the stockholders of Kaleyra to dispose of their common stock may be limited.

Kaleyra’s common stock is traded on the NYSE American stock exchange. Kaleyra cannot foresee the degree of liquidity that will be associated with its common stock. A holder of the common stock may not be able to liquidate his, her or its investment in a short time period or at the market prices that currently exist at the time the holder decides to sell. The market price for the common stock may fluctuate in the future,Company’s initial public offering, and such volatility may bear no relation to Kaleyra’s performance.

Kaleyra has never paid dividends on its common stock, and does not anticipate paying(b) any cash dividends on its common stocksubsequent changes in the foreseeable future.

Kaleyra has never declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock. Kaleyra does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Kaleyra currently intends to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of its business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of Kaleyra’s common stock will be stockholders’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Kaleyra qualifies as an emerging growth company, and Kaleyra’s decision to comply with reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

Kaleyra is an “emerging growth company,” and, for as long as Kaleyra continues to be an emerging growth company, Kaleyra currently intends to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to have its independent registered public accounting firm audit Kaleyra’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its registration statements, periodic reports and proxy statements (including the


registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part) and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Kaleyra will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the IPO; (ii) the first fiscal year after its annual gross revenue is $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which Kaleyra has, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the marketfair value of its common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of each period for which earnings are reported. As the secondfair value of the warrants is not considered material to the historical consolidated financial statements, it was recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The impact of that fiscal year.changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of Kaleyra common stock.

Failure to complete the mGage Merger could negatively impact the stock price of Kaleyra and future businesses and financial results of Kaleyra.

Completion of the mGage Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including the approval of the transaction by the stockholders of Vivial and the approval of the issuance of shares of Kaleyra common stock in connection with the transaction by the stockholders of Kaleyra. Kaleyra cannot predict whether investorsguarantee when or if all of these conditions will find its common stock less attractive if Kaleyra chooses to rely on these exemptions while Kaleyra is an emerging growth company. If some investors find its common stock less attractive as a resultbe satisfied or that the mGage Merger will be successfully completed. The consummation of any choices to reduce future disclosure, therethe mGage Merger may be a less active trading market for its common stock anddelayed, the price of its common stockmGage Merger may be more volatile.

Underconsummated on terms different than those contemplated by the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting newmGage merger agreement, or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. Kaleyra has availed itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, Kaleyrathe mGage Merger may not be consummated at all. If the mGage Merger is not completed, or is completed on different terms than as contemplated by the mGage


merger agreement, Kaleyra could be adversely affected and subject to a variety of risks associated with the same newfailure to complete the mGage Merger, or revised accounting standardsto complete the mGage Merger as contemplated by the mGage merger agreement, including the following:

Kaleyra could incur substantial costs relating to the proposed merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees;

Kaleyra’s management’s and employees’ attention may be diverted from their day-to-day business and operational matters as a result of efforts relating to attempting to consummate the mGage Merger;

Kaleyra stockholders may be prevented from realizing the anticipated benefits of the mGage Merger;

The market price of Kaleyra’s common stock could decline significantly; and

Kaleyra could incur reputational harm due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully complete the mGage Merger.

Any delay in the consummation of the mGage Merger or any uncertainty about the consummation of the mGage Merger on terms other public companiesthan those contemplated by the mGage merger agreement, or if the mGage Merger is not completed, could materially adversely affect Kaleyra’s business, financial results and share price. In addition, if the mGage Merger is not completed, Kaleyra may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, and Kaleyra may experience negative reactions from their respective customers and employees. Kaleyra also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the mGage Merger or to enforcement proceedings commenced against Kaleyra to perform their respective obligations under the mGage merger agreement. If the mGage Merger is not completed, Kaleyra cannot assure their respective stockholders that arethe risks described above will not emerging growth companies.materialize and will not materially affect the business and financial results of Kaleyra and stock price of Kaleyra.
