We sell our software applications primarily through a direct sales organization comprised of inside sales and field sales personnel. In addition to our direct sales organization, we have an indirect sales organization, which sells to distributors and value-added resellers. We employ a land-and-expand go-to-market strategy. After we demonstrate the value of an initial application to a customer, our sales and account management teams work to expand the adoption of that initial application across the customer, as well as cross-sell additional applications to address other digital transformation needs of the customer. Our customer success organization supports our direct sales efforts by managing the post-sale customer lifecycle.
Our subscription agreements are typically sold either on a per-seat basis or on a minimum contracted volume basis with overage fees billed in arrears, depending on the application being sold. We service customers ranging from large global corporations and government agencies to small- and medium-sized businesses. We have more than 10,000 customers with over 1,000,000 users across a broad range of industries, including financial services, retail, technology, manufacturing, legal, education, consumer goods, media, telecommunications, government, non-profit, food and beverage, healthcare and life sciences.
Through a series of acquisitions and integrations, we have established a library of diverse, cloud-based software applications under the Upland brand that support the business functions listed above and address specific digital transformation needs. Our revenue has grown from $98.0 million in 2017 to $302.0 million in 2021, representing a compound annual growth rate of 33%. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 foreign revenue as a percent of total revenue increased to 31% compared to 28% during the six months ended June 30, 2021. See “ Note 10. Revenue Recognition ” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our revenue as it relates to domestic and foreign operations.
To support continued growth, we intend to pursue acquisitions within our core enterprise solution suites of complementary technologies and businesses. This will expand our product library, customer base, and market access resulting in increased benefits of scale. Consistent with our growth strategy, we have made 31 acquisitions from February 2012 through June 30, 2022.
COVID-19 Impact
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic, which has created significant economic uncertainty across the globe and has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns.
The ongoing spread of COVID-19 remains a global pandemic, compounded with the discovery of new COVID-19 variants (such as Delta and Omicron). However, with the gradual easing of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions globally and progress made in the development and distribution of vaccines and boosters, stability in the markets have continued to improve. As such, the Company gradually picked up acquisition activity in 2021 and continued into the first quarter of 2022.
We cannot predict the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will continue to impact our business or operating results, which is highly dependent on inherently uncertain future developments, including the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments and private businesses in relation to COVID-19 containment. As our platform is offered as a subscription-based service, the effect of the outbreak may not be fully reflected in our operating results until future periods, if at all. The persistence of COVID-19 and the preventative measures implemented to help limit the spread of the illness, have impacted, and will continue to impact, our ability to operate our business and may materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The health and well-being of our employees, customers, partners and communities continues to be our main priority. As such, we support and continue the remote working arrangements for our employees.

After removing the negative FX impact on our revenue, net of these non-core revenues, our Non-GAAP Core Organic Revenue decreased by $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Acquisition-related expenses are typically one-time expenses incurred for up to four quarters after each acquisition, with the majority of these costs being incurred within 6 to 9 months, to transform the acquired business into the Company's unified operating platform. These expenses can vary based on the size, timing and location of each acquisition. These acquisition-related expenses include transaction related expenses such as banker fees, legal and professional fees, insurance costs, and deal bonuses. These acquisition-related expenses also include transformational expenses such as severance, compensation for transitional personnel, office lease terminations, vendor cancellations, and adjustments to the fair value of earnouts due to sellers. Generally, without new acquisition activity, acquisition related expenses decline in subsequent sequential quarters and are no longer incurred after the first anniversary of the last closed acquisition.
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
Acquisition-related expense was $4.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $5.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 11%. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 transaction related expenses were $0.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and transformational expenses were $4.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The transformational expenses in both the current and year ago periods were primarily related to temporary transitional personnel and related costs along with accelerated rent related expenses incurred in conjunction with the closures of offices of our acquired companies as we consolidate and integrate these acquisitions. We had no new acquisitions during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and closed one acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Transformation expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2022 include expenses related to acquisitions closed in 2022 as well the three acquisitions closed in 2021 compared to transformation expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2021, which included expenses related to the two acquisitions closed as of March 31, 2021 and one acquisition from 2020. In addition, Acquisition-related expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 includes a gain of $2.7 million related to a decrease in the fair value of earnout liabilities due to sellers related to the BlueVenn and Second Street acquisitions which was partially offset by a loss on sublease of $1.9 million related to the change in underlying assumptions related to a subtenant.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Acquisition related expense was $15.3 million the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $15.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 an increase of $0.2 million, or 1%. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 transaction related expenses were $4.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively, and transformational expenses were $10.4 million and $9.0 million, respectively. The transformational expenses in both the current and year ago periods were primarily related to temporary transitional personnel and related costs along with accelerated rent related expenses incurred in conjunction with the closures of offices of our acquired companies as we consolidate and integrate these acquisitions. These accelerated rent related expenses decreased $3.5 million to $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $4.8 million during the same period in 2021. In addition, Acquisition-related expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes a gain of $2.7 million related to a decrease in the fair value of earnout liabilities due to sellers related to the BlueVenn and Second Street acquisitions.

The benefit from income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 related primarily to foreign income taxes associated with our combined non-U.S. operations. These tax benefits are offset by changes in deferred tax liabilities associated with amortization of United States tax deductible goodwill and state taxes in certain states in which the Company does not file on a consolidated basis or have net operating loss. The expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 related

primarily to the release of valuation allowance related to the acquisition of deferred tax liabilities associated with business combinations completed during the period.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
The benefit from income taxes was $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $2.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, resulting in a decrease of benefit from income taxes of $2.3 million. This decrease was due primarily to decreased benefits recognized during the current period attributable to the release of valuation allowances associated with acquisitions of domestic entities with deferred tax liabilities that, upon acquisition, allow us to recognize certain deferred tax assets that had previously been offset by a valuation allowances.
Key Metrics
In addition to the GAAP financial measures described in “Results of Operations,” we regularly review the following key metrics to evaluate and identify trends in our business, measure our performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions.
Adjusted EBITDA
We monitor our Adjusted EBITDA to help us evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, other expense (income), net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, and purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue.
The following table represents a reconciliation of net loss from continuing operations, the most comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.

Purchase accounting deferred revenue discount 1,663 606 3,592 1,100
Adjusted EBITDA $ 24,508 $ 23,728 $ 47,954 $ 46,572
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management, investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:
• Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures and the method by which assets were acquired;
• Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, in the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our operating performance, to assess the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance;
37
Table of Contents
• Adjusted EBITDA provides more consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our operations and also facilitates comparisons with other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The use of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool has limitations such as:
• Depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, and the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; however, much of the depreciation and amortization currently reflected relates to amortization of acquired intangible assets as a result of business combination purchase accounting adjustments, which will not need to be replaced in the future;
• Adjusted EBITDA may not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or contractual commitments;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest or tax payments that could reduce cash available for use; and,
• Other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA together with other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss and our other GAAP results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the raising of capital including sales of our common stock, cash from operating activities, and borrowings under our credit facility. We believe that current cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities, availability under our existing credit facility, as discussed below, and the ability to offer and sell securities pursuant to our registration statement, as discussed below, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we intend to utilize the sources of capital available to us under our Credit Facility and registration statement to support our continued growth via acquisitions within our core enterprise solution suites of complementary technologies and businesses.
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $138.3 million, $60.0 million of available borrowings under our credit facility, as discussed below, and $525.2 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facility. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $189.2 million, $60.0 million of available borrowings under our Credit Facility, and $527.9 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facility. The $50.9 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 includes $62.4 million in cash paid for our two acquisitions completed during 2022, net of $0.7 million in cash acquired. Non-cash acquisition date consideration to be paid in future periods related to these acquisitions includes $5.9 million in holdback payments and that are due within 12 to 15 months of the closing dates of the underlying acquisitions.
Our cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries was $24.5 million as of June 30, 2022 and $24.8 million as of December 31, 2021. If these funds held by our foreign subsidiaries are needed for our domestic operations, a repatriation of these funds may require us to accrue and pay dividend withholding taxes in the foreign jurisdictions where applicable and accrue and pay U.S. taxes to the extent such dividend income exceeds our ability to utilize net operating losses. However, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our domestic operations. We do not provide for federal income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had a working capital surplus of $35.3 million and surplus of $106.5 million, respectively, which includes $103.4 million and $102.8 million of deferred revenue recorded as a current liability as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. This deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue in future periods in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.
Securities Purchase Agreement
The Securities Purchase Agreement as discussed in “ Note 12. Subsequent Events ” will provide us an additional $115.0 million in liquidity, which we intend to use for (a) for general corporate purposes and (b) for transaction-related fees and expenses. The closing is expected promptly following the satisfaction of customary terms and conditions, including the expiration of the
38
Table of Contents
Hart-Scott-Rodino Act notice period. However, we can provide no assurances that the transaction will close on the expected timeline or at all.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends (i) at the rate of 4.5% per annum until but excluding the seven year anniversary of the closing, and (ii) at the rate of 7% per annum on and after the seven year anniversary of the closing, and are also entitled to fully participate in any dividends or other distributions declared or paid on our common stock on an as-converted basis. Dividends will be payable quarterly in arrears, and may be paid, at our option, in cash or by paying dividends in kind . Our ability to pay cash dividends is subject to the restrictions under the Credit Facility (as defined below).
The Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to our common stock with respect to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up (“Liquidation”), on parity with any class or series of our capital stock expressly designated as ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to distribution rights and rights upon Liquidation, junior to any class or series of our capital stock expressly designated as ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to distribution rights and rights upon Liquidation and junior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness, including the Credit Facility.
Credit Facility
On August 6, 2019, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) which provides for (i) a fully-drawn $350 million, 7 year, senior secured term loan B facility (the “Term Loan”) and (ii) a $60 million, 5 year, revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) that was fully available as of June 30, 2022.
On November 26, 2019, the Company entered into a First Incremental Assumption Agreement (the “Incremental Assumption Agreement”) which provides for a term loan facility to be established under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $190 million (the “2019 Incremental Term Loan”) which is in addition to the existing $350 million term loans outstanding under the Credit Facility and the $60 million Revolver under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility has no financial covenants as long as less than 35% of the Revolver is drawn as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. The credit facility is secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets and requires us to maintain certain financial covenants. The Credit Facility contains certain non-financial restrictive covenants that limit our ability to transfer or dispose of assets, merge with other companies or consummate certain changes of control, acquire other companies, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness and liens, effect changes in management and enter into new businesses. As of June 30, 2022 we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility. See “ Note 6. Debt—Credit Facility ” for more information regarding our Credit Facility and outstanding debt as of June 30, 2022.
On August 6, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate hedge instrument for the full 7 year term, effectively fixing our interest rate at 5.4% for the Term Loan. In addition, on November 26, 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s floating rate obligations under the 2019 Incremental Term Loan. These interest rate swaps fix the Company's interest rate (including the hedge premium) at 5.4% for the term of the Credit Facility.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities is significantly influenced by the amount of cash we invest in personnel and infrastructure to support the anticipated growth of our business. Included in net cash provided by operations are one-time acquisition related expenses incurred for up to four quarters after each acquisition to transact and transform the acquired business into the Company's unified operating platform. Additionally, operating cash flows includes the impact of earn-outs payments in excess of original purchase accounting estimates. Our working capital consists primarily of cash, receivables from customers, prepaid assets, unbilled professional services, deferred commissions, accounts payable, accrued compensation and other accrued expenses, acquisition related earnout and holdback liabilities, lease liabilities, and deferred revenues. The volume of professional services rendered, the volume and timing of customer bookings and contract renewals, and the related timing of collections on those bookings and renewals, as well as the timing of spending commitments and payments of our accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related benefits, all affect these account balances.
Cash provided by operating activities was $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $23.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $1.0 million. Working capital sources of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included a $22.1 million decrease in accounts receivable related to the timing of collections. Working capital uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included a decrease of $0.9 million in accounts payable related to timing of payments, a decrease of $9.2 million in deferred revenue, a $4.6 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $5.2 million decrease in accrued expenses.
A substantial source of cash is invoicing for subscriptions and support fees in advance, which is recorded as deferred revenue, and is included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as a liability. Deferred revenue consists of the unearned portion of booked fees for our software subscriptions and support, which is amortized into revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. We assess our liquidity, in part, through an analysis of new subscriptions invoiced, expected cash receipts on new and existing subscriptions, and our ongoing operating expense requirements.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Our primary investing activities have consisted of acquisitions of complementary technologies, products and businesses. As our business grows, we expect our primary investing activities to continue to further expand our library of cloud-based software applications and infrastructure and support additional personnel.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities consisted of $62.4 million associated with the Company’s 2022 acquisitions, and the purchases of property and equipment of $0.3 million. Cash used in investing activities decreased $30.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily as a result of the two acquisitions closed during the period compared to the three acquisitions in the comparable prior year period.

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, the introduction of new and enhanced applications and professional service offerings, and acquisitions of complementary technologies, products and businesses.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Our primary financing activities have consisted of capital raised to fund our acquisitions, proceeds from debt obligations incurred to finance our acquisitions, repayments of our debt obligations, and share based employee payroll tax payment activity.
Cash used in financing activities increased $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in cash used in financing activities relates primarily to a $2.3 million increase in additional consideration paid to sellers (i.e. holdbacks) and a $1.0 million increase in net share employee payroll tax settlement payments compared to the same period in 2021.
Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
The following critical accounting policies reflect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements:
• revenue recognition and deferred revenue;
• income taxes;
• deferred sales commissions and sales commission expense;
• business combinations and the recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets; and
• stock-based compensation.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. We are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require updates to our estimates or judgments or require us to revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of August 9, 2022, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Other Key Accounting Policies
Our unaudited interim financial statements and other financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as presented herein and in “ Item 1. Financial Statements ” to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, reflect no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). Please refer to our Annual Report for a detailed description of our critical accounting policies that involve significant management judgment.
We evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions on an ongoing basis, and while we believe that our estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
