Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
Company Overview - Progress Software Corporation ("Progress," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") provides software products that enable our customers to develop, deploy and manage responsible AI-powered applications and digital experiences.
Many of our products are sold as perpetual licenses, but certain products use term licensing models and our cloud-based offerings are marketed as software-as-a-service ("SaaS") offerings. More than half of our worldwide license revenue is realized through relationships with indirect channel partners, principally independent software vendors ("ISVs"), original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), distributors and value-added resellers. ISVs develop and market applications using our technology and resell our products in conjunction with sales of their own products that incorporate our technology. OEMs are companies that embed our products into their own software products or devices. Value-added resellers are companies that add features or services to our product, then resell it as an integrated product or complete "turn-key" solution. In October 2024, we acquired ShareFile, a SaaS offering.
We operate in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), and Asia and Australia ("Asia Pacific"), through local subsidiaries as well as independent distributors.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements and these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on January 21, 2025 (our "2024 Annual Report").
We made no material changes in the application of our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and records changes in estimates in the period in which they become known. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, loss contingencies and the MOVEit Vulnerability (as defined herein), and business combinations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This update is effective beginning with the Company’s 2025 fiscal year annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard and will include the additional disclosures in the financial statements for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2025.

ASU 2025-06, which can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or with a modified transition approach, is effective for the Company for annual reporting as well as interim period reporting beginning in fiscal year 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Note 2: Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

When developing fair value estimates, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When available, we use quoted market prices to measure fair value. The valuation technique used to measure fair value for our Level 1 and Level 2 assets is a market approach, using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market-based parameters including yield curves, volatilities, credit ratings and currency rates. In certain cases,
11
where market rate assumptions are not available, we are required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument.
We classified contingent consideration related to the Nuclia acquisition, which occurred in the third fiscal quarter of 2025, within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is derived using significant unobservable inputs. We utilized the Monte Carlo simulation method to estimate the fair value of the contingent liability as of the reporting date. Thousands of iterations of the simulation were performed using forecasted financial data to develop a distribution of future values which, in turn, provide indicated earn-out payments. The total estimated fair value equals the sum of the average present values of the indicated earn-out payments. The fair value of the contingent consideration will be remeasured each reporting period and any required adjustment will be recorded to acquisition-related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 4: Business Combinations for additional details.
The following table reflects the activity for our contingent consideration obligation measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the nine months ended August 31, 2025:

Balance, December 1, 2024 $ —

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the nine months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024.
Assets and Liabilities Not Carried at Fair Value
Fair Value of the Convertible Senior Notes
The following table details the fair value and carrying value of our Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and 2030 (together referred to as "the Notes"):
August 31, 2025 November 30, 2024
(in thousands) Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value
Convertible senior notes due 2026 (1)

Total $ 799,332 $ 823,530 $ 796,267 $ 999,921
(1) The carrying value of the convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), is reflected net of $ 1.4 million and $ 3.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs as of August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively.
(2) The carrying value of the convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"), is reflected net of $ 9.3 million and $ 10.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs as of August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively.
The fair value of the Notes is based on quoted prices in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period and classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their immediate or short-term maturities.
Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the frequent nature of such borrowings and repayments. The Company considers this as a Level 2 input.

Note 4: Business Combinations
Nuclia Acquisition
On June 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Nuclia, an innovator in agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation AI solutions, for a purchase price with an aggregate fair value of $ 21.4 million, which was primarily allocated to purchased technology and goodwill. The purchase consideration consisted of $ 20.3 million of cash paid at closing and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $ 1.1 million.
We are required to pay contingent earn-out consideration of up to $ 5.0 million to former Nuclia shareholders, based on the achievement of certain revenue targets during fiscal year 2026. The fair value of the earn-out liability was determined to be $ 1.1 million as of the acquisition date. See Note 2: Fair Value Measurements for additional details.
We have not disclosed the amount of revenues and earnings of Nuclia since acquisition, nor pro forma financial information, as those amounts are not significant to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
ShareFile Acquisition
On October 31, 2024, we completed the acquisition of ShareFile from Cloud Software Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries for an aggregate purchase price of $ 875.0 million in cash, subject to a $ 25.0 million working capital credit and certain customary adjustments. We funded the acquisition through $ 730.0 million in borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Refer to Note 5: Debt for further information.
The acquisition consideration for ShareFile has been preliminarily allocated to ShareFile’s assets and assumed liabilities based on estimated fair values. The preliminary fair value estimates of the net assets acquired are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and those estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for those estimates during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company identified measurement period adjustments that resulted in increases in goodwill totaling $ 1.6 million. There were no measurement period adjustments identified in the second or third quarter of fiscal year 2025.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, including the measurement period adjustments, is as follows:
(in thousands) Initial Purchase Price Allocation Measurement Period Adjustments Adjusted Purchase Price Allocation Life
Net working capital $ 892 $ 940 $ 1,832
Property, plant and equipment 54 — 54
Purchased technology 119,000 — 119,000 7 years
Trade name 27,000 — 27,000 7 years
Customer relationships 319,000 ( 1,000 ) 318,000 7 years
Deferred taxes 23,456 ( 377 ) 23,079
Deferred revenue ( 96,159 ) — ( 96,159 )
Goodwill 459,459 1,632 461,091
Net assets acquired $ 852,702 $ 1,195 $ 853,897
The fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates used to value the acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The valuation assumptions take into consideration our estimates of customer attrition, technology obsolescence, and revenue growth projections.
We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $ 461.1 million of goodwill, of which a portion is deductible for tax purposes.
14
Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) and certain acquisition restructuring and related charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, we incurred approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 3.8 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs, which are included in acquisition-related expenses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The amount of revenue of ShareFile included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, was $ 64.6 million and $ 194.1 million, respectively. We determined that disclosing the amount of ShareFile related earnings included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations is impracticable, as certain operations of ShareFile were integrated into the operations of the Company from the date of acquisition.
In connection and concurrent with the ShareFile acquisition, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") with Cloud Software Group, Inc. for a period of six months from the date of acquisition, with the option to extend the TSA beyond this period for certain services. The TSA was terminated during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 and expenses related to the TSA were not significant during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025.
Pro Forma Information
The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Progress and ShareFile as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2022, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the ShareFile acquisition and factually supportable. These pro forma adjustments include: (i) a net increase in amortization expense to record amortization expense relating to the $ 464.0 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, (ii) an increase in interest expense to record interest for the periods presented as a result of drawing down our revolving line of credit in connection with the acquisition, (iii) an increase in acquisition-related expenses in connection with the acquisition that were not included in the purchase price, (iv) additional expense related to the TSA entered into between Progress and Cloud Software Group, Inc., and (v) the income tax effect of the adjustments made at the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 24.0%).
The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated expense savings resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated on December 1, 2022.

Total debt $ 1,540,000 $ ( 13,733 ) $ 1,526,267
Credit Facility
On July 21, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with certain lenders, which provides a $ 1.5 billion secured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility"). The revolving credit facility has sublimits for swing line loans up to $ 25.0 million and for the issuance of standby letters of credit in a face amount up to $ 25.0 million.
The amount outstanding under our prior secured credit facility is now outstanding under the amended and restated credit facility.
Interest rates for the revolving credit facility are determined by reference to a Term Benchmark Rate or a base rate at our option and would range from 1.25 % to 2.50 % above the Term Benchmark Rate for Term Benchmark-based borrowings or from 0.25 % to 1.50 % above the defined base rate for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon our consolidated total net leverage ratio. During the third fiscal quarter of 2025, we repaid $ 40.0 million on the revolving credit facility. The interest rate as of August 31, 2025 was 6.32 %.
The revolving credit facility matures on the earlier of (i) July 21, 2030, and (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of our 2030 Notes subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Credit Agreement, including the repayment of the 2030 Notes, the refinancing of the 2030 Notes including a maturity date that is on or after October 21, 2030, and compliance with a liquidity test when all amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until the maturity date, at which time all amounts outstanding must be repaid. Accrued interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears. As of August 31, 2025, there was $ 620.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $ 2.1 million of letters of credit.
Costs incurred to obtain the Credit Agreement of $ 6.2 million, along with $ 5.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the previous credit agreement, were recorded as debt issuance costs and will be amortized over the term of the debt agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate,
16
dispose of assets, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, change the nature of the business, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. We are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated interest charge coverage ratio and a consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio.
Note 6: Common Stock Repurchases
In the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, we repurchased and retired 0.3 million shares for $ 15.0 million and 0.3 million shares for $ 14.3 million, respectively. In the nine months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, we repurchased and retired 1.2 million shares for $ 65.1 million and 1.6 million shares for $ 86.8 million, respectively. As of August 31, 2025, there was $ 42.2 million remaining under the current authorization. On September 23, 2025, our Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by $ 200.0 million to an aggregate authorization of $ 242.2 million.
Note 7: Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant service period. We estimate the fair value of each stock-based award on the measurement date using either the current market price of the stock, the Black-Scholes option valuation model, or the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model. The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to options and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally four or five years for options and three or four years for restricted stock units, and adjust the expense each period for actual forfeitures. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to performance stock units and our employee stock purchase plan using an accelerated attribution.
In 2025, 2024, and 2023, we granted performance-based restricted stock units that include two performance metrics under our Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") where the performance measurement period is three years . For the 2025, 2024, and 2023 plans, the vesting terms were based on the following: (i) 75 % is based on achievement of a three-year cumulative operating income, and (ii) 25 % is based on our level of attainment of specified TSR targets relative to the percentage appreciation of a specified index of companies for the respective three-year periods. The vesting of LTIP awards is also subject to continued employment of the grantees through the performance period, except in the event of a qualifying termination. In order to estimate the fair value of such awards, we use a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model for the market condition portion of the award, and used the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, less the present value of expected dividends when applicable, for the portion related to the performance condition.
The following table provides the classification of stock-based compensation as reflected on our condensed consolidated statements of operations:

No single customer, partner, or country outside the U.S. accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025 or August 31, 2024.
Contract Balances
Unbilled Receivables and Contract Assets
As of August 31, 2025, billing of our non-current unbilled receivables is expected to occur as follows:
(in thousands)
2026 $ 13,945
2027 16,815
Total $ 30,760
Contract assets arise when revenue is recognized in excess of billings and the right to the amount due from customers is conditioned on something other than the passage of time, such as the completion of a related performance obligation. We did not have any net contract assets as of August 31, 2025 or November 30, 2024.
18
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is recorded when revenue is recognized subsequent to customer invoicing. Deferred revenue expected to be recognized as revenue more than one year subsequent to the balance sheet date is included in long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our net deferred revenue balance is primarily made up of deferred maintenance and deferred revenue related to our SaaS offerings.
As of August 31, 2025, the changes in net deferred revenue were as follows:
(in thousands)
Balance, December 1, 2024 $ 404,412
Billings and other 701,815
Revenue recognized that was deferred in prior periods ( 328,553 )
Revenue recognized from current period arrangements ( 396,612 )
Balance, August 31, 2025 $ 381,062
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. As of August 31, 2025, transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $ 592.3 million. We expect to recognize approximately 74 % of the revenue within the next year and the remainder thereafter.
Deferred Contract Costs
Certain of our sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Depending upon the sales incentive program and the related revenue arrangement, such capitalized costs are amortized over the longer of (i) the product life, which is generally three to five years ; or (ii) the term of the related revenue contract. We determined that a three to five year product life represents the period of benefit that we receive from these incremental costs based on both qualitative and quantitative factors, which include customer contracts, industry norms, and product upgrades. Total deferred contract costs were $ 5.8 million and $ 6.7 million as of August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively, and are included in other current assets and other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred contract costs is included in sales and marketing expense on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and was minimal in all periods presented.
Note 9: Restructuring
The following table provides a summary of activity for our restructuring actions:
(in thousands) Excess Facilities and Other Costs Employee Severance and Related Benefits Total
Balance, December 1, 2024 $ 4,339 $ 5,695 $ 10,034
Costs incurred 2,466 6,513 8,979

Translation and other adjustments — 25 25
Balance, August 31, 2025 $ 3,201 $ 679 $ 3,880
Costs incurred during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025 are primarily related to our restructuring action that commenced in fiscal year 2024, arising from the integration of the ShareFile business. Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under this restructuring are expected to be made through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The restructuring reserve is included in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2025. We do not expect to incur additional material expenses in connection with this restructuring.

Note 10: Earnings Per Share
We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding dilutive stock options, restricted stock units, and deferred stock units, using the treasury stock method and the effect of our convertible debt using the if-converted method. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share on an interim basis:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
(in thousands, except per share data) August 31, 2025 August 31, 2024 August 31, 2025 August 31, 2024
Net income $ 19,413 $ 28,464 $ 47,388 $ 67,291
Weighted average shares outstanding 42,988 42,872 43,099 43,296
Effect of dilution from common stock equivalents 729 839 978 871
Effect of dilution from if-converted convertible notes — — 176 —
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 43,717 43,711 44,253 44,167
Earnings per share:
Basic $ 0.45 $ 0.66 $ 1.10 $ 1.55
Diluted $ 0.44 $ 0.65 $ 1.07 $ 1.52
We excluded stock awards representing approximately 844,000 and 672,000 shares of common stock, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025 as these awards were anti-dilutive. We excluded stock awards representing approximately 560,000 and 849,000 shares of common stock, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, as these awards were anti-dilutive.
The dilutive impact of the Notes on our calculation of diluted earnings per share is measured using the if-converted method. However, because the principal amount of the Notes will be settled in cash, the dilutive impact of applying the if-converted method is limited to the in-the-money portion, if any. During the nine months ended August 31, 2025, we included the 2026 Notes in our diluted earnings per share calculation and we excluded the 2030 Notes in our diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion feature in the 2030 Notes was out of the money. During the three months ended August 31, 2025, we did not include the Notes in our diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion feature in the Notes was out of the money. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, we did not include the Notes in our diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion feature in the Notes was out of the money.
Note 11: Segment Information
Operating segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.
We operate as one operating segment: software products for the development, deployment, and management of responsible, AI-powered applications and digital experiences. Our CODM evaluates financial information on a consolidated basis.

Note 12: Cyber Related Matters
MOVEit Vulnerability
As previously disclosed, on the evening of May 28, 2023, we learned that our MOVEit Transfer (the on-premise version) and MOVEit Cloud (a cloud-hosted version of MOVEit Transfer) products were attacked by a threat actor who compromised and exfiltrated personal data from various customer-controlled MOVEit Transfer environments (the "MOVEit Vulnerability"). As a result of the MOVEit Vulnerability, we are party to certain class action lawsuits filed by individuals who claim to have been impacted by the exfiltration of data from the environments of our MOVEit Transfer customers, which have been centralized in multi-district litigation in the District of Massachusetts (the "MDL"). The MDL remains in a relatively early litigation stage in which motions to dismiss were filed and partially granted in July 2025, resulting in the dismissal of approximately half of the pending claims. Following the court’s ruling on the motions to dismiss, we filed a motion for reconsideration in which we asked the court to reconsider its ruling on some of the undismissed claims. The MDL is not expected to conclude within this fiscal year. We have also been cooperating with inquiries and investigations from various governmental authorities, none of which have, as of this filing, resulted in any prosecution or enforcement actions.
Expenses Incurred and Future Costs
During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, we incurred net costs of approximately $ 0.7 million and $ 2.1 million, respectively, related to the MOVEit Vulnerability. The costs recognized are net of insurance recoveries of $ 0.4 million and $ 1.7 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, respectively. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, we incurred net costs of approximately $ 0.9 million and $ 5.0 million, respectively, related to the MOVEit Vulnerability. The costs recognized are net of insurance recoveries of $ 0.6 million and $ 2.5 million for th e three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, respectively. The timing of recognizing insurance recoveries may differ from the timing of recognizing the associated expenses.
We expect to continue to incur investigation, legal and professional services expenses associated with the MOVEit Vulnerability in future periods. We will recognize these expenses as services are received, net of insurance recoveries. While a loss from these matters is reasonably possible, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of possible losses at this time, particularly while the foregoing matters remain ongoing. Furthermore, with respect to the MDL, the proceedings remain in the early stages, alleged damages have not been specified, there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class or classes being certified or the ultimate size of any class if certified, and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. Also, each of the governmental inquiries and investigations mentioned above could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, or other resolutions, the amount, scope and timing of which could be material, but of which we are currently unable to reasonably estimate. Therefore, we have not recorded a loss contingency liability for the MOVEit Vulnerability as of August 31, 2025.
Insurance Coverage
During the period when the MOVEit Vulnerability occurred, we maintained $ 15.0 million of cybersecurity insurance coverage, which is expected to reduce our exposure to expenses and liabilities arising from these events. As of August 31, 2025, we have approximately $ 5.0 million of remaining cybersecurity insurance coverage under the applicable policy. We will pursue recoveries to the maximum extent available under our insurance policies.
