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 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; allocation of goodwill to reporting units; 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.

Tabl e of Contents
(d) Remaining Performance Obligations
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with durations of more than one year was $ 123.4 million as of June 30, 2023, of which 68 % is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and 95 % is expected to be recognized over the next 24 months.
(e) Deferred Revenue and Customer Deposits
As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $ 139.4 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 June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 27.2 million and $ 29.9 million of revenue, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue and customer deposits balances as of the end of the previous year. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 98.6 million and $ 94.7 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 June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were $ 219.5 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no customer organization accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue.
As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, no customer organization represented more than 10% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable.
(h) Significant Accounting Policies
Segment Information
The Company determines its operating and reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), which requires financial information to be reported based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, reviews and manages the business, and establishes criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. Historically, the Company concluded that it had a single operating and reportable segment. As described in detail in Note 8, as of June 30, 2023, the Company concluded that it operated in and will report its results in two reportable segments.
Goodwill
In connection with changes in the segment reporting structure described in Note 8, in the second quarter of 2023, the Company concluded that it had multiple reporting units. Accordingly, the Company reassigned assets and liabilities to the reporting units based on which reporting units’ operations the assets and liabilities were employed in or were related to. The Company reassigned goodwill to each reporting unit using a relative fair value allocation approach.
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 consolidated financial statements.

Debt Securities
The aggregate fair value of the corporate debt securities with unrealized losses was $ 2.3 billion as of June 30, 2023, of which $ 1.6 billion were in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months and $ 777.5 million were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. The aggregate 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 June 30, 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 debt 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 debt securities as available to support current operations, it has classified all available for sale securities as short-term. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, for all debt 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company anticipates that it will recover the entire amortized cost basis of such debt securities before maturity.
Interest earned on debt securities was $ 16.7 million and $ 33.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $ 15.6 million and $ 31.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The interest is recorded as other income (expenses), net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 six months ended June 30, 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 classified as 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 expenses, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. There were no other impairments or adjustments recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, related to these securities.

5. Net Assets Held for Sale and Divested
The Company classifies assets and liabilities as held for sale (the “disposal group”) when management commits to a plan to sell the disposal group and meets all required criteria in ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment . Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period the held for sale criteria are met. Gains are not recognized until realized on the date of sale. Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortized.
In June 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its ValueFirst business, which operates an enterprise communications platform in India. The sale was subsequently completed in July 2023, and the Company received $ 45.5 million in cash. This divestiture allowed allocation of Company resources to other strategic priorities with a greater impact on the Company’s business. The divestiture did not represent a strategic shift in operations that would have a major effect on the Company's business and financial results, and therefore, is not presented as a discontinued operation.

10. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
As described in Note 8, beginning in the second quarter of 2023, the Company concluded it had two operating and reportable segments. In connection with the shift from one operating and reportable segment to two operating and reportable segments, the Company reevaluated its reporting unit structure and determined that it had multiple reporting units. As such, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company reallocated goodwill to its newly formed reporting units.
The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from an income and a market approach. Estimating the fair value by these methods involves the use of a number of key assumptions including forecasted revenues and related growth rates, forecasted operating cash flows, the discount rate, and the selection of relevant market multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies with similar characteristics to the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determined the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on the Company’s best estimates of forecasted economic and market conditions over the period including growth rates and expected changes in operating cash flows. The discount rate used is based on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the characteristics of the business and the projected cash flows. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of current and forward 12-month revenue or adjusted EBITDA, as applicable, derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit.
While these assumptions reflect management’s best estimates of future performance at the time, these estimates are inherently complex and uncertain and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
In connection with the goodwill reallocation, the Company assessed goodwill for impairment immediately before and immediately after the change in the reporting unit structure and related goodwill reallocation. Both assessments concluded that the fair value of the reporting units were above their respective carrying amounts.
The following table presents the goodwill allocated to the Company’s reportable segments as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the changes during the period:

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 remains vacated, and the parties expect to file an update with the Court on the status of the case in October 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 14(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.
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 June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, no amounts were accrued related to any outstanding indemnification agreements.
(d) Other Taxes
The Company conducts operations in multiple 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 14(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 June 30, 2023, the liabilities recorded for the non-income-based taxes were $ 31.8 million for domestic jurisdictions and $ 20.5 million for jurisdictions outside of the United States. As of December 31, 2022, these liabilities were $ 29.1 million and $ 20.6 million, respectively.

On June 28, 2023, each outstanding share of the Company’s Class B common stock automatically converted (the “Conversion”) into one share of the Company’s Class A common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In addition, upon the Conversion, outstanding stock options that were exercisable for shares of Class B common stock prior to the Conversion became exercisable for shares of Class A common stock. The Company filed a Certificate of Retirement with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effecting the retirement of all of the shares of its Class B common stock that were issued but not outstanding following the Conversion.

Share Repurchase Program
In February 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $ 1.0 billion in aggregate value of its outstanding Class A common stock. Repurchases under this program can be made through open market, private transactions or other means, in compliance with applicable federal securities laws, and could include repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The Company has discretion in determining the conditions under which shares may be repurchased from time to time. The program expires on December 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2023, approximately $ 505.0 million of the originally authorized amount remained available for future repurchases .
16. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s 2016 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) provides for granting stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, unrestricted stock awards, performance share awards, dividend equivalent rights and cash-based awards to its employees, directors and consultants. 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.
In addition, pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), eligible employees may purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a discount of 15 % through payroll deductions of their eligible compensation. The ESPP provides for separate six-month offering periods beginning in May and November of each year.

18. Income Taxes
The Company computes its provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimated annual effective tax rate based on 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 $ 0.7 million and $ 11.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and an income tax provision of $ 2.6 million and an income tax benefit of $ 0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
The provision for income taxes recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 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 provision for income taxes recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the benefit for income taxes recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2022, consists primarily of income taxes and withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business, partially offset by an income tax benefit from the reversal of U.S. deferred tax liabilities related to the acquired intangibles from business combinations.
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.
19. Related Party Transactions
In May 2022, the Company and Syniverse Corporation (“Syniverse”), an equity method investee, entered into a wholesale agreement, pursuant to which Syniverse would process, route and deliver application-to-person messages originating and/or terminating between the Company’s customers and mobile network operators. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the value of the transactions that occurred between the Company and Syniverse were $ 37.3 million and $ 70.3 million, respectively. The value of the transactions that occurred between the Company and Syniverse were $ 22.0 million for the period from the investment closing date in May 2022 through June 30, 2022. These transactions were recorded as cost of revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
