speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report.

As used in this report, the terms "Rapid7," the "company," "we," "us," and "our" mean Rapid7, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

Overview

Rapid7 is advancing security with visibility, analytics, and automation delivered through our Insight Platform. Our solutions simplify the complex, allowing security teams to work more effectively with IT and development to reduce vulnerabilities, monitor for misconfigurations and malicious behavior, investigate and shut down attacks, and automate routine tasks.



In the over 20 years that Rapid7 has been in business, security companies and
trends have come and gone, while broader technology innovation continues to
advance rapidly. Every company is now a technology company, and rampant
innovation inevitably creates security risk. The migration of businesses to the
cloud, more distributed workforces, and ubiquitous connected devices present
security teams with an increasingly complex, ever-changing, and unpredictable
attack surface.

We believe as cybersecurity challenges continue to rise exponentially, two key
factors can prevent organizations from effectively managing their growing
security exposure. First, the tools to manage complex security problems are
often equally complicated to use. Second, there is a scarcity of cybersecurity
professionals who are qualified to successfully manage these sophisticated
tools. These two factors compound the difficulties that resource-constrained
organizations face when attempting to minimize their security exposure, meet
security compliance regulations and provide visibility to their leadership. We
call the expanding divide between risk created through innovation and risk
effectively managed by security teams the security achievement gap.

We believe Rapid7 is uniquely positioned to improve how security challenges are
addressed. Our solutions and services are built with and supported by the
expertise of our dedicated team of security researchers, expert SOC analysts and
consultants, who bring knowledge of attacker behavior and emerging
vulnerabilities directly to customers. We also continue to invest in further
simplifying our technology to improve usability, lowering the barrier for teams
and organizations who lack resources to manage their security posture.

While our security technology is the foundation of our mission to make
successful security accessible to all, technology alone will not solve today's
cybersecurity challenges. Our ongoing commitment to researching and partnering
with the technology community helps to curb new security risks born through
innovation. We are also investing in under-served, at risk communities, like
non-profits and hospitals, to better understand their needs and make security
technology and services accessible. By continuously improving our technology,
stemming the creation of risk in the community, and making security more usable
and accessible, Rapid7 aims to close the security achievement gap.

We market and sell our products and professional services to organizations of
all sizes globally, including mid-market businesses, enterprises, non-profits,
educational institutions and government agencies. Our customers span a wide
variety of industries such as technology, energy, financial services, healthcare
and life sciences, manufacturing, media and entertainment, retail, education,
real estate, transportation, government and professional services. As of June
30, 2022, we had over 10,000 customers in 141 countries, including 49% of the
Fortune 100. Our revenue was not concentrated with any individual customer and
no customer represented more than 1% of our revenue for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Response

Rapid7 remains focused on supporting its customers, partners, employees and
communities during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 on the
global economy and on our business continues to be a fluid situation. In
response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken, and continue to take, a
variety of actions to ensure the continued availability and functioning of our
business operations, promote the safety and security of our employees and
support the communities in which we operate.

We will continue to actively monitor the evolving situation related to COVID-19
and may take further actions that alter our business operations, including those
that may be required by federal, foreign, state or local authorities, or that we
determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners,
suppliers, vendors and stockholders. At this point, the extent to which the
COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, results of operations and financial
condition is uncertain. While we have not experienced significant disruptions
from the COVID-19 pandemic during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,
we are unable to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have due
to numerous uncertainties, including the
                                       23

duration of the outbreak, the result of vaccination efforts, the spread and
reemergence of the pandemic, including any new variants, actions that may be
taken by governmental authorities, the impact on our business including our
sales cycle, sales execution and marketing efforts, and the impact to the
business of our customers, vendors and partners. Furthermore, due to our
subscription model, any effect of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully
reflected in our results of operations until future periods. For further
discussion of the challenges and risks we confront related to the COVID-19
pandemic, please refer to Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q.

Our Business Model

We have offerings in six key areas: (1) Incident Detection and Response, (2)
Cloud Security, (3) Vulnerability Risk Management, (4) Application Security, (5)
Threat Intelligence and (6) Security Orchestration and Automation Response.

We offer our products through a variety of delivery models to meet the needs of our diverse customer base, including:



•Cloud-based subscriptions, which provide our software capabilities to our
customers through cloud access and on a subscription basis. Our InsightIDR,
InsightCloudSec, InsightVM, InsightAppSec, InsightConnect and Threat
Intelligence products are offered as cloud-based subscriptions, generally with a
one-year term.

•Managed services, through which we operate our products and provide our
capabilities on behalf of our customers. Our Managed Vulnerability Management,
Managed Application Security and Managed Detection and Response products are
offered on a managed service basis, generally pursuant to one-year agreements.

•Licensed software consists of term licenses and to a lesser extent perpetual
licenses. When a term license is purchased, maintenance and support and content
subscriptions, as applicable, are bundled with the license for the term period.
Our Nexpose, Metasploit, AppSpider and InsightCloudSec products are offered
through term software licenses. When a perpetual license is purchased, a
customer typically purchases maintenance and support and content subscriptions,
as applicable. Our maintenance and support provides our customers with telephone
and web-based support and ongoing bug fixes and repairs during the term of the
maintenance and support agreement, and our customers who purchase our Nexpose
and Metasploit products also purchase content subscriptions, which provide them
with real-time access to the latest vulnerabilities and exploits. Our
maintenance and support and content subscription agreements are typically for
one-year terms.

We also offer various professional services across all of our offerings,
including deployment and training services related to our software and
cloud-based products, incident response services, penetration testing and
security advisory services. Customers can purchase our professional services
together with our product offerings or on a stand-alone basis pursuant to fixed
fee or time-and-materials agreements.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, recurring revenue, defined as
revenue from term software licenses, content subscriptions, managed services,
cloud-based subscriptions and maintenance and support, was 94% and 93%,
respectively, of total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
recurring revenue was 94% and 92%, respectively, of total revenue.

Key Metrics



We monitor the following key metrics to help us measure and evaluate the
effectiveness of our operations and as a means to evaluate period-to-period
comparisons. We believe that both management and investors benefit from
referring to these key metrics as supplemental information in assessing our
performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These
key metrics also facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical
performance as well as comparisons to certain competitors' operating results. We
believe these key metrics are useful to investors both because they allow for
greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in their
financial and operational decision-making and also because they are used by
institutional investors and the analyst community to help evaluate the health of
our business:

Total Revenue and Growth. We are focused on driving continued revenue growth
through increased sales of our products and professional services to new and
existing customers. We monitor total revenue and believe it is useful to
investors as a measure of the overall success of our business.

Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations. We monitor non-GAAP income (loss) from
operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, to analyze our financial results. We
believe non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is useful to investors, as a
supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance
and enhancing an overall understanding of our past financial performance and
allowing for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management
in its financial and operational decision-making. See Non-GAAP Financial Results
below for further information on non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and a
reconciliation of non-GAAP income (loss) from operations to the comparable GAAP
financial measure.

Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that we define as net cash
provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and
capitalization of internal-use software costs. We consider free cash flow to be
a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors
about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital
expenditures. See Non-GAAP Financial Results below for a reconciliation of
non-GAAP free cash flow to the comparable GAAP financial measure.

Annualized Recurring Revenue and Growth. Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR") is
defined as the annual value of all recurring revenue related to contracts in
place at the end of the quarter. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue
and deferred revenue as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be
combined with or replace these items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue,
which can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates and does
not include revenue reported as perpetual license or professional services
revenue in our consolidated statement of operations. We use ARR and believe it
is useful to investors as a measure of the overall success of our business.

Number of Customers. We believe that the size of our customer base is an
indicator of our global market penetration and that our net customer additions
are an indicator of the growth of our business. We define a customer as any
entity that has an active Rapid7 recurring revenue contract as of the specified
measurement date, excluding InsightOps and Logentries only customers with a
contract value less than $2,400 per year.

Non-GAAP Financial Results



To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and
presented in accordance with GAAP, we provide investors with certain non-GAAP
financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from
operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share,
adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial
measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for,
or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance
with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and
operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period
comparisons, and use certain non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures
under our executive bonus plan. We believe that these non-GAAP financial
measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the
overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and
allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in
its financial and operational decision-making. While our non-GAAP financial
measures are an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and
for evaluating our own operating results over different periods of time, you
should review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the
comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not rely on any single
financial measure to evaluate our business.

We define non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations,
non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as the
respective GAAP balances excluding the effect of stock-based compensation
expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt
issuance costs and certain other items such as acquisition-related expenses,
litigation-related expenses and induced conversion expense. Non-GAAP net income
(loss) per basic and diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net income (loss)
divided by the weighted average shares used to compute net income (loss) per
share, with the number of weighted average shares decreased, when applicable, to
reflect the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call transactions entered into in
connection with our convertible senior notes.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating performance due to the following factors:



•Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation expense
because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and
the variety of equity instruments that can impact our non-cash expense. We
believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based
compensation expense allows for more meaningful comparisons between our
operating results from period to period.

•Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We believe that excluding the
impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets allows for more meaningful
comparisons between operating results from period to period as the intangible
assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over several
years after the acquisition.

•Amortization of debt issuance costs. The expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes and revolving credit facility is a non-cash item and we believe the exclusion of this interest expense provides a more useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods.



•Induced conversion expense. In conjunction with the first quarter of 2021
partial repurchase of our 1.25% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the "2023
Notes"), we incurred an induced conversion expense of $2.7 million. We exclude
induced conversion expense because this amount is not indicative of the
performance of, or trends in, our business and is neither comparable to the
prior period nor predictive of future results.

•Litigation-related expenses. We exclude certain litigation-related expenses
consisting of professional fees and related costs incurred by us related to
significant litigation outside the ordinary course of business. We believe it is
useful to exclude such expenses because we do not consider such amounts to be
part of our ongoing operations.

•Acquisition-related expenses. We exclude acquisition-related expenses that are unrelated to the current operations and neither are comparable to the prior period nor predictive of future results.



•Anti-dilutive impact of capped call transaction. Our capped calls transactions
are intended to offset potential dilution from the conversion features in our
convertible senior notes. Although we cannot reflect the anti-dilutive impact of
the capped call transactions under GAAP, we do reflect the anti-dilutive impact
of the capped call transactions in non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share,
when applicable, to provide investors with useful information in evaluating our
financial performance on a per share basis.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss before (1) interest income, (2) interest
expense, (3) other income (expense), net, (4) provision for income taxes, (5)
depreciation expense, (6) amortization of intangible assets, (7) stock-based
compensation expense, and (8) certain other items. We believe that the use of
adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of our
                                       26

financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides
them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies
and across periods.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly
comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other
companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently,
particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. In addition, there are
limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial
measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from
non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that
may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. Further,
stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be for the
foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business and an
important part of the compensation provided to our employees.

The following tables reconcile GAAP gross profit to non-GAAP gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue



We generate revenue primarily from selling products and professional services
through a variety of delivery models to meet the needs of our diverse customer
base.

Products

We generate products revenue from the sale of (1) cloud-based subscriptions, (2)
managed services offerings, which utilize our products and (3) software licenses
with related maintenance and support and content subscription, as applicable.
Software license revenue consist of revenues from term licenses, and to a lesser
extent perpetual licenses. When a term license is purchased, maintenance and
support and content subscription, as applicable, is bundled with the license for
the term period. When a perpetual license is purchased, a customer typically
purchases maintenance and support and content subscription, as applicable.

Professional Services

We generate professional service revenue from the sale of deployment and training services related to our products, incident response services and security advisory services.

Cost of Revenue



Our total cost of revenue consists of the costs of products and professional
services, as noted below. In addition, cost of revenue includes overhead costs
for depreciation, facilities, IT, information security, and recruiting. Our IT
overhead costs include IT personnel compensation costs and costs associated with
our IT infrastructure. All overhead costs are allocated based on relative
headcount.

Cost of Products



Cost of products consists of personnel and related costs for our content,
support, managed service and cloud operations teams, including salaries and
other payroll related costs, bonuses, stock-based compensation and allocated
overhead costs. Also included in cost of products are software license fees,
cloud computing costs and internet connectivity expenses directly related to
delivering our products, amortization of contract fulfillment costs, as well as
amortization of certain intangible assets including internally developed
software.

Cost of Professional Services



Cost of professional services consists of personnel and related costs for our
professional services team, including salaries and other payroll related costs,
bonuses, stock-based compensation, costs of contracted third-party vendors,
travel and entertainment expenses and allocated overhead costs.

We expect our cost of revenue to increase on an absolute dollar basis as we continue to grow our revenue.

Gross Margin



Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, has been and will
continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the average sales
price of our products and services, transaction volume growth, the mix of
revenue between software licenses, cloud-based subscriptions, managed services
and professional services and changes in cloud computing costs.
                                       29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents

We expect our gross margins to fluctuate over time depending on the factors described above.

Operating Expenses



Operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and
general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses include overhead costs
for depreciation, facilities, IT, information security and recruiting. Our IT
overhead costs include IT personnel compensation costs and costs associated with
our IT infrastructure. All overhead costs are allocated based on relative
headcount.

Research and Development Expense



Research and development expense consists of personnel costs for our research
and development team, including salaries and other payroll related costs,
bonuses and stock-based compensation. Additional expenses include third-party
infrastructure costs, travel and entertainment, consulting and professional fees
for third-party development resources as well as allocated overhead costs.

We expect research and development expense to increase on an absolute dollar
basis in the near term as we continue to increase investments in our products
and technology platform innovation, but to remain relatively consistent as a
percentage of total revenue.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expense consists of personnel costs for our sales and
marketing team, including salaries and other payroll related costs, commissions,
including amortization of deferred commissions, bonuses and stock-based
compensation. Additional expenses include marketing activities and promotional
events, travel and entertainment, training costs, amortization of certain
intangible assets and allocated overhead costs.

We expect sales and marketing expense to increase on an absolute dollar basis in the near term as we continue to increase investments to drive our revenue growth, but to decrease as a percentage of total revenue.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense consists of personnel costs for our executive, legal, human resources, and finance and accounting departments, including salaries and other payroll related costs, bonuses and stock-based compensation. Additional expenses include travel and entertainment, professional fees, litigation-related expenses, insurance, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of certain intangible assets and allocated overhead costs.



We expect general and administrative expense to increase on an absolute dollar
basis in the near term as we continue to increase investments to support our
growth, but to remain relatively consistent as a percentage of total revenue.

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest income on our cash and cash equivalents and our short and long-term investments.

Interest Expense



Interest expense consists primarily of contractual interest expense,
amortization of debt issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes and
revolving credit facility and induced conversion expense. We expect interest
expense in the near term to represent contractual interest expense and
amortization of debt issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes and
revolving credit facility.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of unrealized and realized gains and losses related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.


                                       30

Provision for Income Taxes



Provision for income taxes consists of income taxes in foreign jurisdictions
where we conduct business, withholding taxes, and state income taxes in the
United States. We maintain a full valuation allowance for domestic and certain
foreign deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards and tax
credits. Based on our history of losses, we expect to maintain this full
valuation allowance for the foreseeable future as it is more likely than not
that some or all of those deferred tax assets may not be realized.

Total revenue increased by $41.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022
compared to the same period in 2021 and consisted of $32.9 million of organic
growth and $8.1 million related to the acquisition of IntSights in July 2021.
The $32.9 million increase in revenue related to organic growth consisted of a
$1.2 million increase in revenue from new customers and a $31.7 million increase
in revenue from existing customers. The $31.7 million increase from existing
customers was due to an increase in revenue from renewals, upsells and
cross-sells as a result of our growing base of existing customers. Revenue from
new customers represents the revenue recognized from the customer's initial
purchase. All renewals, upsells and cross-sells are considered revenue from
existing customers.

The increase in total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared
to the same period in 2021 was comprised of $29.1 million generated from sales
in North America and $11.9 million generated from sales from the rest of the
world.

Total cost of revenue increased by $15.0 million in the three months ended June
30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a $3.6 million
increase in cloud computing costs related to growing cloud-based subscription
and managed services revenue and a $5.9 million increase in personnel costs,
inclusive of a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation expense,
resulting from an increase in headcount to support our growing customer base and
$0.9 million of additional costs attributable to the employees acquired in the
IntSights acquisition in July 2021. Our increase in total cost of revenue also
included a $1.9 million increase in amortization expense for acquired intangible
assets, a $1.7 million increase in allocated overhead driven largely by an
increase in IT and facilities costs, a $0.9 million increase in third-party
professional service consulting costs, a $0.4 million increase in amortization
expense for capitalized internally-developed software, and a $0.6 million
increase in other expenses.

Total gross margin percentage decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2022
compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in products gross margin was
primarily due to an increase in amortization expense for the developed
technology acquired intangible asset related to the acquisition of IntSights.
The decrease in professional services gross margin for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 was due to an increase in personnel costs.

overhead driven largely by an increase in IT and facilities costs, and a $1.1
million increase in other expenses. The $10.1 million increase in personnel
costs was primarily due to a $5.6 million increase in salaries and related costs
driven by growth in headcount, inclusive of $2.9 million in additional salaries
and related costs attributable to the employees acquired in the acquisition of
IntSights in July 2021, and a $4.5 million increase in stock-based compensation

purchase. All renewals, upsells and cross-sells are considered revenue from
existing customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



As of June 30, 2022, we had $163.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $90.6
million in short- and long-term investments that have maturities ranging from
one to twenty months and an accumulated deficit of $820.6 million. Since our
inception, we have generated significant losses and expect to continue to
generate losses for the foreseeable future. Our principal sources of liquidity
are cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term investments and our Credit
and Security Agreement, as amended (the "Credit Agreement"). To date, we have
financed our operations primarily through private and public equity financings,
issuance of convertible senior notes and through cash generated by operating
activities.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our short and long-term
investments, our available borrowings under our Credit Agreement and cash
generated by operating activities will be sufficient to meet our operating and
capital requirements for at least the next 12 months as well as our longer-term
expected future cash requirements and obligations. Our foreseeable cash needs,
in addition to our recurring operating expenses, include our expected capital
expenditures to support expansion of our infrastructure and workforce, office
facilities lease obligations, purchase commitments, including our cloud
infrastructure services (including with Amazon Web Services ("AWS")), potential
future acquisitions of technology businesses and any election we make to redeem
our convertible senior notes.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our
growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and
development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities,
particularly internationally, the introduction of new and enhanced products and
service offerings, the cost of any future acquisitions of technology or
businesses and any election we make to redeem our convertible senior notes. In
the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may be
unable to raise the funds on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to
raise additional capital on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our
business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Uses of Funds

Our historical uses of cash have primarily consisted of cash used for operating
activities such as expansion of our sales and marketing operations, research and
development activities and other working capital needs, as well as cash used for
business acquisitions and purchases of property and equipment, including
leasehold improvements for our facilities.

Operating Activities



Operating activities provided $17.9 million of cash and cash equivalents in the
six months ended June 30, 2022, which reflects the timing of working capital
adjustments and our continued growth in revenue partially offset by our
continued investments in our operations. Cash provided by operating activities
reflected our net loss of $84.6 million, offset by a decrease in our net
operating assets of $16.5 million and non-cash charges of $86.0 million related
primarily to depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense,
amortization of debt issuance costs and other non-cash charges. The decrease in
our net operating assets was primarily due to a $23.2 million increase in
deferred revenue, a $18.1 million decrease in accounts receivable due to an
increase in collections and a $3.6 million increase in accounts payable, which
each had a positive impact on operating cash flow. These factors were partially
offset by a $12.5 million decrease in accrued expenses, primarily as a result of
the payout of annual bonuses and year-end commissions, a $10.5 million increase
in prepaid expenses, a $5.1 million

increase in deferred contract acquisition and fulfillment costs and a $0.3 million decrease in other liabilities, which each had a negative impact on operating cash flow.



Operating activities provided $29.8 million of cash and cash equivalents in the
six months ended June 30, 2021, which reflects the timing of working capital
adjustments and our continued growth in revenue partially offset by our
continued investments in our operations. Cash provided by operating activities
reflected our net loss of $64.0 million, offset by a decrease in our net
operating assets of $25.5 million and non-cash charges of $68.3 million related
primarily to depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense,
deferred income taxes, induced conversion expense, amortization of debt issuance
costs and other non-cash charges. The decrease in our net operating assets was
primarily due to a $22.2 million increase in deferred revenue due to increased
billings, a $12.8 million decrease in accounts receivable due to an increase in
collections, a $4.4 million increase in other liabilities and a $0.4 million
decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, which each had a positive impact
on operating cash flow. These factors were partially offset by a $7.6 million
decrease in accrued expenses, primarily as a result of the payout of annual
bonuses and year-end commissions, a $5.5 million increase in deferred contract
acquisition and fulfillment costs, and a $1.3 million decrease in accounts
payable, which each had a negative impact on operating cash flow.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial
partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or
special purpose entities that were established for the purpose of facilitating
off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited
purposes. We do not engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The
preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses. We base our estimates and assumptions
on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing
basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. There have been no
material changes in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our
Annual Report.
