Overview
Upland Software, Inc. (“Upland,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation headquartered in Austin, Texas, is a leader in AI-powered knowledge and content management software. Our solutions help enterprises unlock critical knowledge, automate content workflows, and drive measurable ROI—enhancing customer and employee experiences while supporting regulatory compliance. More than 1,100 enterprise customers rely on Upland to solve complex challenges and provide a trusted path for AI adoption.
Through a series of acquisitions and integrations, we have established a library of diverse software applications under the Upland brand that address specific digital transformation needs. Our revenue has grown from $149.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 to $274.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate of 11%. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, foreign revenue as a percent of total revenue was 29% and 30%, respectively.
To support continued growth, we may pursue acquisitions of complementary technologies and businesses. This may expand our product library, customer base, and market access resulting in increased benefits of scale.
Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the GAAP financial measures described below in “Results of Operations,” we regularly review the following key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and identify trends in our business, measure our performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions.
22
Table of Contents
Core Organic Growth Rate
Beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2023, we began disclosing our Core Organic Growth Rate, a non-GAAP financial measure. We use Core Organic Growth Rate as a key performance measure to assess our consolidated operating performance over time and for planning and forecasting purposes. Core Organic Growth Rate is the percentage change between two reported periods in subscription and support revenue, excluding subscription and support revenue from Sunset Assets, subscription and support revenue from divestitures, and Overage Charges, each as defined below. We calculate our year-over-year Core Organic Growth Rate as though all acquisitions or dispositions closed as of the end of the latest period were closed as of the first day of the prior year period presented. Core Organic Growth Rate does not represent actual organic revenue generated by our business as it stood at the beginning of the respective period.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, our Core Organic Growth Rate was 0.2%.
Core Organic Growth Rates are not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or actual results that might have been achieved had certain Sunset Asset classifications not been made or had certain acquisitions or dispositions been consummated on the first day of the prior year period presented. We believe that this metric is useful to management and investors in analyzing our financial and operational performance period-over-period along with evaluating the growth of our business normalized for the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, as well as adjusting for the exclusion of non-core Sunset Assets and non-committed Overage Charges. For example, by including pre-acquisition revenue, Core Organic Growth Rate allows us to measure the underlying revenue growth of our business as of the end of the period presented, which we believe provides insight into our current performance.
Related Defined Terms
In connection with periodic reviews of our business, we have decided to discontinue the availability of certain non-strategic product offerings and a limited number of non-strategic customer contracts (collectively referred to as “Sunset Assets”). It is possible that during future periodic reviews of our business we may determine to add additional non-strategic product offerings or non-strategic customer contracts to Sunset Assets or remove certain product offerings or customer contracts from the classification of Sunset Assets. In either case, we will adjust the revenues attributable to Sunset Assets and properly reflect the year over year change for such addition or removal.
Overage Charges are subscription and support revenues earned in addition to contractual minimum customer commitments as a result of the usage volume of services including text and e-mail messaging and third-party pass-through costs that exceed the levels stipulated in contracts with the Company.

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 income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, net interest expense, loss on debt extinguishment, net other expense, benefit from income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and divestiture related expense, purchase accounting deferred revenue discount, gains and losses on divestitures of businesses, and impairment of goodwill.

Loss on divestitures of businesses 23,457 —
Impairment of goodwill — 87,227
Adjusted EBITDA $ 13,082 $ 13,103
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;
• 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:
• Impairment of goodwill and depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, and the assets being depreciated or amortized, which contribute to the generation of revenue, 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 relates to amortization of acquired intangible assets as well as the goodwill 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.

Goodwill impairment is recognized on a non-recurring basis when the carrying value (or GAAP basis book value) of our Company (which is our only reporting unit) exceeds the estimated fair value of our Company as determined by reference to a number of factors and assumptions, including the trends in the stock price of our Common Stock. We assess goodwill for impairment annually on October 1st, or more frequently when an event occurs which could cause the carrying value of our Company to exceed the estimated fair value of our Company. As a result of declines in our stock price during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we performed a goodwill impairment evaluation which resulted in a goodwill impairment of $87.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We will continue to evaluate goodwill for impairment in 2025 and future impairments of goodwill could occur if we experience significant stock price declines.

This was due primarily to prepayments on the Company’s Term Loans during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which lowered cash interest expense by $5.3 million. This reduction was offset by a decline in cash interest inflow related to our interest rate swaps of $0.8 million. Amortization of realized and unrealized gains on interest rates swaps from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense, net was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to amortization of $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The amortization effects on interest expense, net was offset by changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps recorded to interest expense, net of $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 with no such effects recorded to interest expense, net in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 declined $2.3 million from interest income in the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to lower cash and cash equivalents.
Other income (expense), net recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2023 were related primarily to foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

The benefit from income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 relates primarily to the deferred tax benefit from the business divestitures in the first quarter of 2025. This tax benefit is partially offset by the income tax from non-U.S. and U.S. operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operating activities, the raising of capital including sales of our Common Stock or our convertible preferred stock, and borrowings under our Credit Facility. We believe that current cash and cash equivalents, and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

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. 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, 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 $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of approximately $3.2 million comprised of a non-recurring $1.2 million cash gain on the sale of a portion of our interest rate swaps in the three months ended March 31, 2025. as well as changes in working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2025 which include collections on accounts receivable, increases in prepaid and other current assets, payments of current liabilities and decreases in deferred revenue.
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.

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:
• income taxes; and
• goodwill and other intangibles.
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 May 12, 2025, 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 months ended March 31, 2025, 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, 2024 (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.
