Certara, Inc. 10-Q

Item 1A. Risk Factors Except as described below, there have been no significant changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report that we believe are material to our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or growth prospects. Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could impair our ability or our customers’ ability to access existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, which could negatively impact the timely payment to key vendors and others or timely receipt of accounts payable from customers. Events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was placed into receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), which resulted in all funds held at SVB being temporarily inaccessible by SVB’s customers. Although the Company did not hold cash deposits or securities at SVB if other banks and financial institutions with which we have banking relationships are placed into receivership or go bankrupt in the future, we may not be able to access our current cash, cash equivalents, and investments and we may lose some or all of them, to the extent that those funds are not insured or otherwise protected by the FDIC. We maintain substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts with U.S. and multi-national financial institutions, and our deposits at these institutions exceed insured limits. In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. Our customers are also exposed to this same risk, and any delay in our customer's ability to access their cash and cash equivalents to make timely payments to us could have a materially negative impact on our operations and necessitate the need for additional capital sooner than anticipated. Any of these the foregoing could have material adverse impacts on our liquidity and our business, financial condition or results of operations.
