Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of Business
Twilio Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 13, 2008. Today's leading companies trust Twilio's Customer Engagement Platform to build direct, personalized relationships with their customers everywhere in the world. Twilio enables companies to use communications and data to add intelligence and security to every step of their customers’ journey, from sales to marketing to growth, customer service and many more engagement use cases in a flexible, programmatic way.
The Company’s headquarters are located in San Francisco, California, and the Company has subsidiaries across North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023 (“Annual Report”).
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but may not include all disclosures including certain notes required by U.S. GAAP on an annual reporting basis.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year 2023 or any future period.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
(c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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, revenue allowances and sales credit reserves; recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets; impairment assessments of goodwill and indefinite-lived 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. 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.
(d) Remaining Performance Obligations
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with durations of more than one year was $ 165.9 million as of March 31, 2023, of which 72 % is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and 95 % is expected to be recognized over the next 24 months.

Table of Contents
(e) Deferred Revenue and Customer Deposits
As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $ 136.5 million and $ 139.1 million as its deferred revenue and customer deposits, respectively, that are included in deferred revenue and customer deposits and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 71.3 million and $ 64.9 million of revenue, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue and customer deposits balances as of the end of the previous year.
(f) Deferred Sales Commissions
Total net capitalized commission costs as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were $ 237.0 million and $ 239.1 million, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other long‑term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(g) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with financial institutions. Certain balances held by such financial institutions exceed insured limits.
The Company sells its services to a wide variety of customers. If the financial condition or results of operations of any significant customer deteriorates substantially, operating results could be adversely affected. To reduce credit risk, management performs credit evaluations of the financial condition of significant customers. The Company does not require collateral from its credit customers and maintains reserves for estimated credit losses on customer accounts when considered necessary. Actual credit losses may differ from the Company’s estimates. In the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no customer organization accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue.
As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, no customer organization represented more than 10% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable.
(h) Changes to Significant Accounting Policies
Share Repurchases
The Company elected to record the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of the repurchased shares of its Class A common stock in accumulated deficit, along with the associated transaction costs and excise taxes. Immediately upon repurchase, the shares are retired and returned to the status of unauthorized and unissued.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax.
There have been no other changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in its Annual Report.
(i) Recently Issued Accounting Guidance, Not yet Adopted
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03, " Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, " which clarifies and amends the guidance of measuring the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of the equity securities. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The aggregate related fair value of the corporate debt securities with unrealized losses was $ 2.4 billion as of March 31, 2023, of which $ 1.9 billion were in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months and $ 420.2 million were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. The aggregate related fair value of corporate debt securities with unrealized losses was $ 2.7 billion as of December 31, 2022, of which $ 2.0 billion were in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months and $ 620.5 million were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. Unrealized losses related to other investments as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were not significant.
The Company's primary objective when investing excess cash is preservation of capital, hence the Company's marketable securities primarily consist of U.S. Treasury Securities, non-U.S government securities, high credit quality corporate debt securities and commercial paper. Because the Company views its marketable securities as available to support current operations, it has classified all available for sale securities as short-term. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, for all fixed income securities that were in unrealized loss positions, the Company has determined that (i) it does not have the intent to sell any of these investments, and (ii) it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. In addition, as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company anticipates that it will recover the entire amortized cost basis of such fixed income securities before maturity.

Strategic Investments
As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company held strategic investments with a carrying value of $ 30.7 million and $ 76.9 million, respectively, recorded as other long-term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of these securities is determined under the measurement alternative on a non-recurring basis and adjusted for observable changes in fair value or impairment. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company remeasured one of its strategic investments that it acquired in 2021 to fair value due to an assessed impairment. The fair value measurement of the strategic investment is categorized under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and the primary input used in the fair value measurement was the publicly available stock price of the issuer’s unrestricted security of the same class. The impairment loss of $ 46.2 million is recorded in other income (expenses), net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. There were no other impairments or adjustments recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, related to these securities.
Financial Liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of foreign currency derivative liabilities and are classified as Level 2 financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the aggregate fair value of these liabilities and the associated unrealized losses were not significant.

7. Reorganization and Segment Reporting
In February 2023, concurrent with the announcement of the February 2023 Plan, the Company announced a reorganization of its business into two business units, Twilio Data & Applications and Twilio Communications, to enable the Company to better execute on the key priorities for each side of its business—accelerating growth for Twilio Data & Applications and driving efficiencies for Twilio Communications—while accounting for each business unit’s unique economic, customer and product needs (the “Reorganization”). Effective March 1, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed a president for each newly created business unit. Both presidents report directly to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), maintain regular contact with the CODM and are directly accountable for specific activities and financial results of their respective business units. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is its CODM.
An operating segment is a component of a public entity that has all of the following characteristics:
– it engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses,
– its operating results are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and
– its discrete financial information is available.
With the Reorganization, the Company significantly changed the organizational structure of its business, including the way management will operate the business in the future. As such, in February 2023, the Company began making significant realignments to its internal processes and controls to build a financial reporting process within its enterprise reporting system that would enable consistent, comparable and reliable internal reporting of discrete financial information on a newly formed business unit level (the “Realignment”). The Realignment includes efforts, such as remapping of the Company’s functional cost centers to the newly formed business units, developing new allocation methodologies for various costs and reserves, redesigning employee compensation structure, including commissions plans, and other changes - most of which involve judgment and assumptions. Additionally, as of March 31, 2023, the Company was still in process of determining the optimal measure of profitability to be used by the CODM to assess performance of the newly formed business units. The Company expects to complete these efforts during 2023 in order to regularly provide the CODM with discrete financial information on the business unit level, which will also enable the Company to provide segment level disclosures. As this information was not yet available as of March 31, 2023, the Company concluded that it continued to have one operating and reportable segment in the first quarter of 2023.
In connection with the expected shift from one operating segment to two operating segments in 2023, the Company will also shift into a multiple reporting unit structure. Once this occurs and the Company is able to allocate goodwill to each reporting unit, the Company will perform an impairment assessment for each newly formed reporting unit, which may result in goodwill and other asset impairments that could be material.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Lease and Other Commitments
The Company has entered into various non-cancelable operating lease agreements for its facilities. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not enter into any significant new lease agreements.
The Company has non-cancelable contractual commitments with its cloud infrastructure provider, network service providers and other vendors. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company entered into several such agreements with terms up to two years for a total purchase commitment of $ 47.6 million.
(b) Legal Matters
The City and County of San Francisco (“San Francisco”) has assessed the Company for additional Telephone Users Tax (“TUT”) and Access Line Tax on certain of the Company’s services for the years 2009 through 2018. The assessments totaled $ 38.8 million, including interest and penalties. The Company paid the assessments under protest in the third quarter of 2020.
On May 27, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit against San Francisco in San Francisco Superior Court challenging the assessments. The Company raised numerous defenses to the assessments including that its services are not telecommunications services, application of the taxes to the Company’s services violates the Internet Tax Freedom Act and San Francisco does not have jurisdiction to impose tax on services provided outside of San Francisco. The Company is seeking refunds of the taxes paid, waivers of interest and penalties, cost of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and other legal and equitable relief as the court deems appropriate. The previously set trial date was vacated, and a case management conference is scheduled for June 2023.
The Company believes it has strong arguments against the assessments, but litigation is uncertain and there is no assurance that it will prevail in court. Should the Company lose on one or more of its arguments, it could incur additional losses associated with taxes, interest, and penalties that together, in aggregate, could be material. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax disputes such as this and examines all open years to determine the necessity and adequacy of any tax reserves. The Company’s tax reserves are further discussed in Note 13(d) of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
In addition to the litigation discussed above, from time to time, the Company may be subject to legal actions and claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company has received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringement of their intellectual property rights. Future litigation may be necessary to defend the Company, its partners and its customers by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third‑party proprietary rights, or to establish our proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Legal fees and other costs related to litigation and other legal proceedings are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(c) Indemnification Agreements
The Company has signed indemnification agreements with all of its board members and executive officers. The agreements indemnify the board members and executive officers from claims and expenses on actions brought against the individuals separately or jointly with the Company for certain indemnifiable events. Indemnifiable events generally mean any event or occurrence related to the fact that the board member or the executive officer was or is acting in his or her capacity as a board member or an executive officer for the Company or was or is acting or representing the interests of the Company.
19
Table of Contents
In the ordinary course of business and in connection with its financing and business combinations transactions, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it agrees to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners, customers and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the breach of such agreements, intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties and other liabilities relating to or arising from the Company’s various products, or its acts or omissions. In these circumstances, payment may be conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments. The terms of such obligations may vary.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no amounts were accrued related to any outstanding indemnification agreements.
(d) Other Taxes
The Company conducts operations in many tax jurisdictions within and outside of the United States. In many of these jurisdictions, non-income-based taxes, such as sales, use, telecommunications and other local taxes are assessed on the Company’s operations. The Company carries reserves for certain of its non-income-based tax exposures in certain jurisdictions when it is both probable that a liability was incurred and the amount of the exposure could be reasonably estimated. These reserves are based on estimates which include several key assumptions including, but not limited to, the taxability of the Company’s services, the jurisdictions in which its management believes it had nexus and the sourcing of revenues to those jurisdictions.
The Company continues to remain in discussions with certain jurisdictions regarding its prior sales and other taxes that it may owe. In the event any of these jurisdictions disagree with management’s assumptions and analysis, the assessment of the Company’s tax exposure could differ materially from management’s current estimates. For example, as described in Note 13(b), the Company is currently involved in legal proceedings with the City and County of San Francisco challenging their assessment of the Company’s estimated tax liability for a specific period. The $ 38.8 million assessment of taxes, including interest and penalties, that the Company paid as required in 2020, net of the $ 11.5 million reserve the Company had accrued for the same period, was recorded as a deposit in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2023, the liabilities recorded for the non-income-based taxes were $ 30.3 million for domestic jurisdictions and $ 21.8 million for jurisdictions outside of the United States. As of December 31, 2022, these liabilities were $ 29.1 million and $ 20.6 million, respectively.

Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the Company has repurchased additional shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $ 125.0 million.
15. Stock-Based Compensation

Certain of the Company’s outstanding equity awards were granted under equity incentive plans that are no longer active but continue to govern the outstanding equity awards granted thereunder.

17. Income Taxes
The Company computes its provision for income taxes for interim periods by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to anticipated annual pretax income or loss. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the Company’s year to date income or loss, and is adjusted for discrete items recorded in the period. The primary difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate is the full valuation allowance the Company has established on its federal, state and certain foreign net operating losses and credits. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $ 10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and an income tax benefit of $ 2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The provision for income taxes recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2023, consists primarily of income taxes and withholding taxes, partially offset by an income tax benefit from the release of tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions for which the statute of limitation had lapsed. The benefit for income taxes recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2022, consists primarily of an income tax benefit from the reversal of U.S. valuation allowance related to acquired
22

intangible assets from business combinations, partially offset by income taxes and withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various other state and foreign jurisdictions. Because the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal and state jurisdictions, the statute of limitations is open for all tax years.
18. Related Party Transactions

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the value of the transactions that occurred between the Company and Syniverse were $ 33.5 million. These transactions were recorded as cost of revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
