Forward-looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, the items set forth beginning in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains and may incorporate by reference certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended (the “PSLRA”), and that are intended to enjoy the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the PSLRA. These statements, which are not statements of historical fact, may contain estimates, assumptions, projections and/or expectations regarding the Company’s financial position, results of operations, market position, product development, growth opportunities, economic conditions, and other similar forecasts and statements of expectation.  Forward-looking statements are often identified by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “foresee,” or the negative of these terms or other similar variations thereof. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results and experiences to differ materially from the anticipated results and expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may include but are not limited to the following:
 
management’s expectations about the macro economy and trends within the consumer or business information industries, including the use of data and consumer expectations related thereto;

statements regarding our competitive position within our industry and our differentiation strategies;

our expectations regarding laws, regulations and industry practices governing the collection and use of
personal data;

our expectations regarding the potential impact of public health crises, similar to the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business, operations, and the markets in which we and our partners and customers operate;

our expectations regarding the impact of tax-related legislation on our tax position;

our estimates, assumptions, projections and/or expectations regarding the Company's annualized future cost savings and expenses associated with our global workforce strategy and real estate footprint reduction;

statements regarding our liquidity needs or containing a projection of revenues, operating income (loss), income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, capital expenditures, research and development spending, dividends, capital structure, or other financial items;
statements of the plans and objectives of management for future operations;
statements of future performance, including, but not limited to, those statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q;
statements regarding future stock-based compensation expense;
statements regarding the integration and expected benefits from the acquisition of Habu, Inc. ("Habu");
statements containing any assumptions underlying or relating to any of the above statements; and
statements containing a projection or estimate.
Among the factors that may cause actual results and expectations to differ from anticipated results and expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are the following:
 
the risk factors described in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 22, 2024 and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC;
3


the possibility that, in the event a change of control of the Company is sought, certain customers may attempt to invoke provisions in their contracts allowing for termination upon a change in control, which may result in a decline in revenue and profit;
the possibility that we will fail to fully realize the potential benefits of acquired businesses (including Habu) or the integration of such acquired businesses may not be as successful as planned;
the possibility that the fair value of certain of our assets may not be equal to the carrying value of those assets now or in future time periods;
the possibility that sales cycles may lengthen;
the possibility that we will not be able to properly motivate our sales force or other employees;
the possibility that we may not be able to attract and retain qualified technical and leadership employees, or that we may lose key employees to other organizations;
the possibility that our global workforce strategy could encounter difficulty and not be as beneficial as planned;
the possibility that we may not be able to sublease our exited office spaces on favorable terms and rates;
the possibility that competent, competitive products, technologies or services will be introduced into the marketplace by other companies;
the possibility that we will fail to keep up with rapidly changing technology practices in our products and services or that expected benefits from utilization of technological innovations may not be realized as soon as expected or at all;
the possibility that there will be changes in consumer or business information industries and markets that negatively impact the Company;
the possibility that we will not be able to protect proprietary information and technology or to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms;
the possibility that there will be continued changes in the judicial, legislative, regulatory, accounting, cultural and consumer environments affecting our business, including but not limited to litigation, investigations, legislation, regulations and customs at the state, federal and international levels impairing our and our customers' ability to collect, process, manage, aggregate, store and/or use data of the type necessary for our business;
the possibility that data suppliers might withdraw data from us, leading to our inability to provide certain products and services, in particular that there might be restrictive legislation in the U.S. and other countries that restricts the availability of data;
the possibility that data purchasers will reduce their reliance on us by developing and using their own, or alternative, sources of data generally or with respect to certain data elements or categories;
the possibility that we may enter into short-term contracts that would affect the predictability of our revenues;
the possibility that the amount of volume-based and other transactional-based work will not be as expected;
the possibility that we may experience a loss of data center capacity or capability or interruption of telecommunication links or power sources;
the possibility that we may experience failures or breaches of our network and data security systems, leading to potential adverse publicity, negative customer reaction, or liability to third parties;
the possibility that our customers may cancel or modify their agreements with us, or may not make timely or complete payments;
4


the possibility that we will not successfully meet customer contract requirements or the service levels specified in the contracts, which may result in contract penalties or lost revenue;
the possibility that we experience processing errors that result in credits to customers, re-performance of services or payment of damages to customers;
the possibility that our performance may decline and we lose advertisers and revenue as the use of "third-party cookies" or other tracking technology continues to be pressured by Internet users, restricted or otherwise subject to unfavorable regulation, blocked or limited by technical changes on end users' devices, or our customers' ability to use data on our platform is otherwise restricted;
general and global negative conditions, risk of recession, high interest rates, the military conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, capital markets volatility, bank failures, government shutdowns, cost increases and general inflationary pressure and other related causes; and
our tax rate and other effects of the changes to U.S. federal tax law.

With respect to the provision of products or services outside our primary base of operations in the United States, all of the above factors apply, along with the difficulty of doing business in numerous sovereign jurisdictions due to differences in scale, competition, culture, laws and regulations.
 
Other factors are detailed from time to time in periodic reports and registration statements filed with the SEC.  The Company believes that it has the product and technology offerings, facilities, employees and competitive and financial resources for continued business success, but future revenues, costs, margins and profits are all influenced by a number of factors, including those discussed above, all of which are inherently difficult to forecast.
 
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements and such risks, uncertainties and assumptions speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or any other change based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information or otherwise, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. ("LiveRamp", "we", "us" or the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods included have been made, and the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Certain note information has been omitted because it has not changed significantly from that reflected in Notes 1 through 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed as part of Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (“2024 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC on May 22, 2024.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the 2024 Annual Report.  The financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other period or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.
 
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of the accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are complex and require management to make judgments and/or significant estimates regarding amounts reported or disclosed in these financial statements.  Additionally, the application of certain of these accounting policies is governed by complex accounting principles and their interpretation.  A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting principles and their application is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the 2024 Annual Report.

On December 20, 2022, the Company's board of directors approved an amendment to the existing common stock repurchase program, which was initially adopted in 2011. The amendment authorized an additional $100.0 million in share repurchases, increasing the total amount authorized for repurchase under the common stock repurchase program to $1.1 billion. In addition, it extended the common stock repurchase program duration through December 31, 2024.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares of its common stock for $15.8 million under the modified common stock repurchase program.  Through June 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased a total of 38.2 million shares of its common stock for $958.5 million under the program, leaving remaining capacity of $141.5 million.

Habu Restricted Stock Awards

During fiscal 2024, in connection with the acquisition of Habu, the Company replaced the unvested outstanding restricted stock shares held by Habu employees immediately prior to the acquisition with restricted shares of LiveRamp common stock having substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the original restricted stock agreement. The conversion calculation resulted in the issuance of 36,118 replacement restricted stock shares having an acquisition-date fair value of $1.4 million. Of the $1.4 million acquisition-date fair value, $0.1 million was attributed to pre-combination service and treated as a component of purchase consideration transferred. The remaining $1.3 millionof acquisition-date fair value is considered future compensation cost and is being recognized as stock-based compensation cost over the remaining service period of the replacement restricted stock shares.

Under the total shareholder return ("TSR") performance plan, units covering 128,953 shares of common stock were granted having a fair value at the date of grant of $5.6 million, determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The units vest subject to attainment of market conditions established by the talent and compensation committee of the board of directors (“compensation committee”) and continuous employment through the vesting date. The units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, based on the TSR of LiveRamp common stock compared to the TSR of the Russell 2000 market index for the period from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027.

Under the operating metrics performance plan, units covering 300,904 shares of common stock were granted having a fair value at the date of grant of $9.9 million, which was equal to the quoted market price for the shares on the date of grant. The units vest subject to attainment of performance criteria established by the compensation committee and continuous employment through the vesting date. The units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, at the end of the performance period, based on the average attainment of annual revenue growth and EBITDA margin targets for fiscal years 2025, 2026, and 2027.

Employee-related Restructuring Plans
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a total of $0.2 million in employee-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense included $0.1 million of severance and other employee-related charges in the United States and $0.1 million in adjustments to the fiscal 2021 employee-related restructuring plans for employees in the United States.

In fiscal 2024, the Company recorded a total of $4.2 million in employee-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense included severance and other employee-related charges in the United States, Europe, and APAC of $4.0 million and adjustments to the fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2023 employee-related restructuring plans for employees in the United States and Europe of $0.2 million. Of the fiscal 2024 employee-related restructuring plans, $0.5 million remained accrued as of June 30, 2024 and is expected to be paid out during fiscal 2025.

In fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a total of $1.7 million in employee-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense included severance and other employee-related charges in the United States and Europe. Of the fiscal 2021 total employee-related charges, $0.3 million remained accrued as of June 30, 2024 and is expected to be paid out during fiscal 2025.

Lease-related Impairments and Restructuring Plans

In fiscal 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to lower its operating expenses by reducing its global real estate footprint. As part of this plan, we exited a total of eight leased office spaces. Of those, five were located in the United States: one in Boston, one in Philadelphia, one in Phoenix, and two floors of leased office space in San Francisco. The three remaining spaces were located in Europe: one in the Netherlands, one floor of leased office space in London, England, and one floor of leased office space in Paris, France.

Based on a comparison of undiscounted cash flows to the ROU asset group of each exited lease, the Company determined that each of the ROU asset groups was impaired, driven largely by the difference between the existing lease terms and rates on the Company’s leases and the expected sublease terms and rates available in the market. This resulted in impairment charges totaling $26.5 million during fiscal 2023 and 2024, reflecting the excess of the ROU asset group book value over its fair value, which was determined based on estimates of future discounted cash flows and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The lease impairment charges included impairments of the operating lease ROU assets of $22.2 million, and the associated furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements of $4.3 million. Additionally, the Company recorded $2.8 million in lease-related restructuring charges and adjustments during fiscal 2023 and 2024 that covered other obligations related to the leased office spaces in San Francisco and Phoenix. Of the combined fiscal 2023 and 2024 lease-related restructuring charges of $2.8 million, $1.6 million remain accrued as of June 30, 2024 and will be satisfied over the remainder of the San Francisco lease term, which continues through April 2029.

In fiscal 2017, the Company made the strategic decision to exit and sub-lease a certain leased office facility under a staggered-exit plan. The full exit was completed in fiscal 2019. We intend to continue subleasing the facility to the extent possible. The liability will be satisfied over the remainder of the leased property's term, which continues through November 2025. Any future changes in the estimates or in the actual sublease income may require future adjustments to the liabilities, which would impact net earnings (loss) in the period the adjustment is recorded. Through June 30, 2024, the Company has recorded a total of $7.3 million of restructuring charges and adjustments related to this lease. Of the amount accrued for this facility lease, $1.1 million remained accrued at June 30, 2024.

14.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
Legal Matters
 
The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management routinely assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as ranges of probable losses, to the extent losses are reasonably estimable. The Company records accruals for these matters to the extent that management concludes a loss is probable and the financial impact, should an adverse outcome occur, is reasonably estimable. These accruals are reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and are adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter. In management’s opinion, the Company has made appropriate and adequate accruals for these matters, and management believes the probability of a material loss beyond the amounts accrued to be remote. However, the ultimate liability for these matters is uncertain, and if accruals are not adequate, an adverse outcome could have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains insurance coverage above certain limits.

Commitments

The following table presents the Company’s purchase commitments at June 30, 2024.  Purchase commitments primarily include contractual commitments for the purchase of data, hosting services, software-as-a-service arrangements and leasehold improvements. The table does not include the future payment of liabilities related to uncertain tax positions of $26.1 million as the Company is not able to predict the periods in which the payments will be made. The amount for 2025 represents the remaining nine months ending March 31, 2025. All other periods represent fiscal years ending March 31 (dollars in thousands):

Purchase commitments$60,637 $19,992 $6,183 $3,375 $90,187 
 
While the Company does not have any other material contractual commitments for capital expenditures, certain levels of investments in facilities and computer equipment continue to be necessary to support the growth of the business.

15.    INCOME TAX:

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company has historically applied its estimated annual effective tax rate ("AETR") to its year-to-date ordinary income or loss. However, due to the fact that small changes in the Company's annual estimated pretax income or loss would result in significant changes in the estimated AETR, the historical method was not considered to provide a reliable estimate as it is disproportionately sensitive to minor fluctuations in forecasted income. As such, the Company has computed its income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 using a discrete approach based on actual year-to-date results. The income tax expense for the current quarter was primarily driven by nondeductible stock-based compensation, capitalization of research and development expenditures in accordance with Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 174, as modified by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and the valuation allowance. Realization of the Company's net deferred tax assets is dependent upon its generation of sufficient taxable income of the proper character in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain benefit from the reversal of deductible temporary differences as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. As of June 30, 2024, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets except in certain foreign jurisdictions.


16.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
 
The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

The following table details the fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands):

For certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these balances.
The Company held $3.1 million and $2.7 million of strategic investments without readily determinable fair values at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively (see Note 6). Strategic investments consist of non-controlling equity investments in privately held companies. These investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no impairment charges during the three months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

/LiveRamp Data Collaboration Platform

As depicted in the graphic below, we power the industry’s leading enterprise platform for data collaboration. We enable organizations to access and leverage data more effectively across the applications they use to interact with their customers. At the core of our platform is an omnichannel, deterministic identity resolution technology that offers unparalleled accuracy, breadth, and depth. Leveraging deep expertise in data collaboration, the /LiveRamp Data Collaboration Platform enables an organization to unify customer and prospect data (first-, second-, or third-party) to build a single view of the customer in a way that protects consumer privacy. First-party data is data collected firsthand through a company's controlled channels. Second-party data is data that a company shares directly with a trusted business partner. Third-party data is data collected and sold by a company through an online data marketplace to companies with which it does not have a direct relationship. This single customer view can then be connected across any of the 500 partners in our ecosystem in order to support a variety of people-based marketing solutions.

The /LiveRamp Data Collaboration Platform provides customers with four core capabilities:

Live/Identity. We provide enterprise identity infrastructure that resolves disparate consumer identities across different internal and external systems to create an accurate, connected view of the customer. Our approach to identity is built from two complementary graphs, combining offline data and online data and providing accuracy with a focus on privacy. LiveRamp technology for directly identifiable information (or "DII") gives brands and platforms the ability to connect and update what they know about consumers, resolving DII across enterprise databases and systems to deliver better customer experiences. Our digital identity graph, powered by our Authenticated Traffic Solution (or "ATS"), associates pseudonymous device IDs, TV IDs and other online customer IDs from premium publishers, platforms or data providers, around a RampIDTM, a durable and privacy-centric connector to the digital ecosystem. This provides marketers with a consistent view of the consumer that is necessary for personalized segmentation, targeting, and measurement.

Live/Access. Our Data Marketplace provides customers with simplified access to industry-leading third-party data providers globally. The /LiveRamp Data Collaboration Platform allows for the search, discovery and distribution of data provided by third-party data providers to improve targeting, measurement, and customer intelligence. Data accessed through the LiveRamp Data Marketplace is connected via RampID and is utilized to enrich our customers’ first-party data and can be leveraged across technology and media platforms, agencies, analytics environments, and TV partners. Our platform also provides tools for data providers to manage the organization, distribution, and operation of their data and services across our network of customers and partners. Today we work with more than 200 data providers across all verticals and data types.

Live/Connectivity. We enable organizations to leverage their customer and prospect data in the digital and TV ecosystems and across the customer experience applications they use through a safe and secure data matching process called data onboarding. Our technology ingests a customer’s first-party data, removes all DII, and replaces it with a pseudonymized RampID. RampID can then be distributed through direct integrations to the top platforms our customers work with, including leading marketing cloud providers, publishers and social networks, personalization tools, and connected TV services. We connect data across an ecosystem of more than 500 partners, representing one of the largest networks of connections in the digital marketplace.

Live/Insights. Data Collaboration enables advanced measurement and analytics that helps produce insight-driven innovation. We enable trusted data collaboration between organizations and their trusted partners in a neutral, manageable environment. Our platform provides customers with collaborative opportunities to safely and securely build a more accurate, dynamic view of their customers by leveraging partner data. We power more accurate, more complete measurement with the measurement vendors and partners our customers use. Our platform allows customers to combine disparate data files, typically advertising exposure and customer sales transactions, replacing customer identifiers with RampID. Customers then can use that aggregated view of each customer to measure reach and frequency, sales lift, closed loop offline-to-online conversion and cross-channel attribution.

This adds value for brands by increasing audience reach, as well as the speed at which they can activate their marketing data.

Publishers. We enable publishers of any size to offer people-based marketing on their properties. This adds value for brands by providing direct access to their customers and prospects in the publisher's premium inventory.

Data Sellers. Leveraging our vast network of integrations, we allow data sellers to easily connect to the digital ecosystem and monetize their own data. Data can be distributed to customers or made available through the LiveRamp Data Marketplace feature. This adds value for brands as it allows them to augment their understanding of consumers and increase their understanding of customers and prospects.

Marketplace and Other

As we have scaled the LiveRamp network and technology, we have found additional ways to leverage our platform, deliver more value to customers and create incremental revenue streams. Leveraging our common identity system and broad integration network, the Data Marketplace seamlessly connects data sellers’ audience data across the marketing ecosystem. The Data Marketplace enables data sellers to easily monetize their data across hundreds of marketing platforms and publishers. At the same time, it provides a single platform where data buyers, including platforms and publishers, in addition to brands and their agencies, access third-party data from data sellers supporting all industries and encompassing all types of data. Data providers include sources and brands exclusive to LiveRamp, emerging platforms with access to previously unavailable deterministic data, and data partnerships enabled by our platform.

We generate revenue from the Data Marketplace primarily through revenue-sharing arrangements with data sellers that are monetizing their data assets via our marketplace platform service. We also generate Marketplace and Other revenue through transactional usage-based arrangements with certain publishers and addressable TV providers. Data Marketplace revenue is recognized net of the share of revenue earned by the data seller.

To complement our product offering, we provide professional services and enhanced support entitlements to help customers leverage our platform and drive business outcomes. Our services offering includes product implementation, data science analytics, audience measurement and general advisory. We generate revenue from services primarily from project fees paid by subscribers to our platform. Service projects are sold on an ad hoc basis as well as bundled with platform subscriptions. Professional services revenue is approximately 4% of total Company revenue.

Key Performance Metrics

In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we monitor the key metrics set forth below to help us evaluate revenue growth trends, establish budgets and measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts. The below data is presented in millions, except for percentages.
% Change
June 30, 2024June 30, 2023June 30, 2024 from June 30, 2023June 30, 2023 from June 30, 2022
Subscription net retention105 %98 %%(13)%
Annualized recurring revenue$478 $426 12 %%
Remaining performance obligation$536 $497 %25 %
Current remaining performance obligation$398 $351 13 %19 %

Subscription Net Retention

Subscription net retention (“SNR”) is defined as the current quarter subscription revenue (net) from customers who have been on our platform for one year or more, divided by the prior year quarter subscription revenue (net), inclusive of upsell, churn (lost contract), downsell (contract reduction), and variable revenue changes. SNR excludes revenue from new customers that have not been on our platform for one year or more. We believe our SNR is an important metric that provides insight into the long-term value of our subscription agreements and our ability to retain and grow revenue from our subscription customer base. SNR rate is an operational metric, and there is no comparable GAAP financial measure to which we can reconcile this particular key metric.

SNR at June 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023 increased 7%. Lower contraction levels and increasing usage revenue were the primary contributors to the improvement. The acquisition of Habu contributed approximately three percentage points to the current period growth.

Annualized Recurring Revenue

Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is defined as the last month of quarter recurring revenue annualized. Recurring revenue is fixed and contracted subscription revenue and does not include any variable or non-recurring revenue amounts. We believe ARR provides important information about our future revenue potential, our ability to acquire new customers, and our ability to maintain and expand our relationship with existing customers. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or replace these items. Our use of ARR has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation. Other companies in our industry may calculate ARR differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Our ARR growth of 12% was attributable to both new customer revenue and net growth (upsell revenue less downsell and churn) in existing customer revenue. The increasing growth rate compared to the 4% growth in the previous year is due to improvement in net growth in existing customer revenue. The acquisition of Habu contributed approximately two percentage points to the current period growth.

Remaining Performance Obligations and Current Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) is defined as all future revenue under contract that has not yet been recognized as revenue. Future invoicing is determined to be certain when we have an executed non-cancellable contract or a significant penalty that is due upon cancellation, and invoicing is not dependent on a future event such as the delivery of a specific new product or feature, or the achievement of contractual contingencies. Current RPO ("CRPO") represents RPO to be recognized over the next twelve months.

35


While the Company believes RPO and CRPO are leading indicators of revenue as they represent sales activity not yet recognized in revenue, they are not necessarily indicative of future revenue growth as they are influenced by several factors, including seasonality of contract renewal timing and average contract terms. The Company monitors RPO and CRPO to manage the business and evaluate performance. RPO increased due to several large, multi-year renewals. CRPO increased due to new customer additions, as well as the multi-year renewals. The relative decline in RPO and CRPO growth (in terms of % change) is primarily due to revenue run-off from large multi-year arrangements subject to future renewal.

Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $176.0 million, a $21.9 million or 14.2% increase from the same quarter a year ago. The increase was due to revenue growth in both Subscription and Marketplace and Other. Subscription revenue growth was $12.9 million, or 10.6%, primarily due to upsell to existing customers, new logo deals and higher variable revenue. Subscription revenue also included approximately $3.2 million of revenue associated with the fiscal 2024 acquisition of Habu. Marketplace and Other revenue growth was $9.0 million, or 27.9%, primarily due to Data Marketplace and Services volume growth. On a geographic basis, U.S. revenue increased $22.2 million, or 15.4%. International revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 2.6%.

Cost of revenue was $51.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a $6.1 million, or 13.4%, increase from the same quarter a year ago. Gross profit increased to $124.2 million (70.6% gross margin) from $108.4 million (70.4% gross margin) in the prior year quarter due to revenue increases offset partially by an increase in services costs (increased $2.1 million) due to higher services revenue, cloud infrastructure costs (increased $2.0 million), and stock-based compensation expense (increased $1.0 million). U.S. gross margins decreased to 71.5% from 72.2% while International gross margins increased to 55.5% from 43.3%.

Total operating expenses$129,460 $106,178 22 
 
Research and development (“R&D”) expense includes operating expenses for the Company’s engineering and product/project management functions supporting research, new development, and related product enhancement.

R&D expenses were $44.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $9.6 million, or 27.8%, compared to the same quarter a year ago, and are 25.1% of total revenues compared to 22.4% in the same quarter a year ago. The increase is primarily due to stock-based compensation expense (increased $5.1 million), headcount related expenses (increased $4.0 million) and professional services expenses (increased $0.5 million). Stock-based compensation expense in the prior year quarter was favorably impacted due to the acceleration of stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Sales and marketing (“S&M”) expense includes operating expenses for the Company’s sales, marketing, and product marketing functions. S&M expense also includes provisions for credit losses.

S&M expenses were $54.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $9.3 million, or 20.7%, compared to the same quarter a year ago, and are 30.8% of total revenues compared to 29.1% in the same quarter a year ago. The increase is primarily due to stock-based compensation expense (increased $3.4 million), headcount related expenses (increased $3.1 million), marketing expenses (increased $1.1 million) and professional services expenses (increased $1.0 million). Stock-based compensation expense in the prior year quarter was favorably impacted due to the acceleration of stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

General and administrative ("G&A") expense represents operating expenses for the Company's finance, human resources, legal, corporate IT, and other corporate administrative functions.

G&A expenses were $31.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $4.3 million, or 16.1%, compared to the same quarter a year ago, and are 17.6% of total revenues compared to 17.3% in the same quarter a year ago. The increase is primarily due to stock-based compensation expense (increased $5.2 million) and professional services expenses (increased $0.8 million), offset partially by a decrease in transformation costs (decreased $1.9 million). Stock-based compensation expense in the prior year quarter was favorably impacted due to the acceleration of stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

38


Gains, losses, and other items, net represents restructuring costs and other adjustments.

Gains, losses and other items, net was $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.1 million compared to the same quarter a year ago. The current and prior year quarter costs primarily related to termination benefits for employees whose positions were eliminated.

Income (Loss) from Operations and Operating Margin

Loss from operations was $5.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to income from operations of $2.3 million in the same quarter a year ago. Operating margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was negative 3.0% compared to positive 1.5% in the same quarter a year ago. Margins in the prior year quarter were positively impacted by the acceleration of stock-based compensation previously discussed.

Total Other Income and Income Taxes

Total other income was $4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to total other income of $4.8 million in the same quarter a year ago. Other income is primarily interest income related to invested cash balances.

Income tax expense was $6.7 million on pretax loss of $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, resulting in an 831.5% effective tax rate. This compares to a prior year income tax expense of $8.7 million on pretax income of $7.1 million, or a 122.3% effective tax rate. Tax expense for both periods reflects the impact of the capitalization of research and development expenditures in accordance with Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 174, as modified by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the valuation allowance, and nondeductible stock-based compensation.


Capital Resources and Liquidity
 
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are primarily located in the United States.  At June 30, 2024, approximately $18.3 million of the total cash balance of $310.4 million, or approximately 5.9%, was located outside of the United States. The Company has no current plans to repatriate this cash to the United States.

Net accounts receivable balances were $206.3 million at June 30, 2024, an increase of $16.0 million, compared to $190.3 million at March 31, 2024. Days sales outstanding ("DSO"), a measurement of the time it takes to collect receivables, was 107 days at June 30, 2024, compared to 101 days at March 31, 2024. DSO can fluctuate due to the timing and nature of contracts that lead to up-front billings related to deferred revenue on services not yet performed, and Data Marketplace contracts, which are billed on a gross basis, recognized on a net basis, but for which the amount that is due to data sellers is not reflected as an offset to accounts receivable. Compared to March 31, 2024, DSO at June 30, 2024 was negatively impacted by approximately two days by the increased impact of Data Marketplace gross accounts receivable. All customer accounts are actively managed, and no losses in excess of amounts reserved are currently expected.

Working capital at June 30, 2024 totaled $395.4 million, a $9.9 million increase when compared to $385.5 million at March 31, 2024. On January 31, 2024, the Company closed its acquisition of Habu, which included the payment of approximately $170.3 million in cash at closing.

Management believes that the Company's existing available cash will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. However, in light of the risk of recession, the military conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, cost increases, high interest rates, capital markets volatility, bank failures and general inflationary pressures, our liquidity position may change due to the inability to collect from our customers, inability to raise new capital via issuance of equity or debt, and disruption in completing repayments or disbursements to our creditors. We have historically taken and may continue to take advantage of opportunities to generate additional liquidity through capital market transactions. These impacts have caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which could increase the cost of capital and adversely impact our ability to raise additional capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. The amount, nature, and timing of any capital market transactions will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature, and timing of our capital requirements; and overall market conditions. If we are unable to raise funds as and when we need them, we may be forced to curtail our operations.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods reported (dollars in thousands):
For the three months ended
June 30,
20242023
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities$(9,328)$25,693 
Net cash used in investing activities$(593)$(553)
Net cash used in financing activities$(16,465)$(18,522)

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by growth in our operations, increases or decreases in collections from our customers, and related payments to our suppliers and employees. The timing of cash receipts from customers and payments to suppliers can significantly impact our cash flows from operating activities. Our collection and payment cycles can vary from period to period.

In the three months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities of $9.3 million resulted primarily from operating results adjusted for non-cash items of $25.6 million offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $34.9 million. Net cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $39.0 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $16.6 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $7.5 million. The change in accounts payable and other liabilities is primarily due to the payment of annual incentive compensation and the timing of payments to suppliers. The change in accounts receivable is primarily due to revenue growth and the timing of cash receipts from customers.

In the three months ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities of $25.7 million resulted primarily from operating results adjusted for non-cash items of $15.9 million offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $9.8 million. Net cash provided by operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to a $29.2 million Internal Revenue Service refund related to fiscal 2021, an increase in income taxes payable of $8.0 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $7.1 million and an increase in other assets of $5.0 million, offset partially by an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $25.2 million and accounts receivable of $14.4 million. The change in accounts payable and other liabilities is primarily due to the payment of annual incentive compensation and the timing of payments to suppliers. The change in accounts receivable is primarily due to revenue growth and the timing of cash receipts from customers.

Investing Activities

Our primary investing activities have primarily consisted of business acquisitions, capital expenditures and purchases and sales of investments. Capital expenditures may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations, the addition of new headcount, new facilities, and acquisitions.

40


In the three months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures of $0.2 million and the purchase of a strategic investment of $0.4 million.

In the three months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures of $0.1 million and the purchase of a strategic investment of $0.5 million.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities have consisted of acquisition of treasury stock, proceeds from our equity compensation plans, and shares repurchased for tax withholdings upon vesting of stock-based awards.

In the three months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $16.5 million, consisting of the acquisition of treasury shares pursuant to the board of directors' approved stock repurchase plan of $15.8 million (0.5 million shares) and $6.8 million for shares repurchased for tax withholdings upon vesting of stock-based awards. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds of $6.2 million from the sale of common stock from our equity compensation plans.

In the three months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $18.5 million, consisting of the acquisition of treasury shares pursuant to the board of directors' approved stock repurchase plan of $20.2 million (0.8 million shares), and $3.9 million for shares repurchased for tax withholdings upon vesting of stock-based awards. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds of $5.6 million from the sale of common stock from our equity compensation plans.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

On December 20, 2022, the Company's board of directors approved an amendment to the existing common stock repurchase program, which was initially adopted in 2011. The amendment authorized an additional $100.0 million in share repurchases, increasing the total amount authorized for repurchase under the common stock repurchase program to $1.1 billion. In addition, it extended the common stock repurchase program duration through December 31, 2024.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares of its common stock for $15.8 million under the modified common stock repurchase program.  Through June 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased a total of 38.2 million shares of its common stock for $958.5 million under the program, leaving remaining capacity of $141.5 million.

Contractual Commitments

The following tables present the Company’s contractual cash obligations and purchase commitments at June 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands). Operating leases primarily consist of our various office facilities. Purchase commitments primarily include contractual commitments for the purchase of data, hosting services, software-as-a-service arrangements, and leasehold improvements. The tables do not include the future payment of liabilities related to uncertain tax positions of $26.1 million as the Company is not able to predict the periods in which the payments will be made. The amount for 2025 represents the remaining nine months ending March 31, 2025. All other periods represent fiscal years ending March 31 (dollars in thousands):

While the Company does not have any other material contractual commitments for capital expenditures, certain levels of investments in facilities and computer equipment continue to be necessary to support the growth of the business. 

For a description of certain risks that could have an impact on results of operations or financial condition, including liquidity and capital resources, see “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 ("2024 Annual Report") as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 22, 2024.


Non-U.S. Operations
 
The Company has a presence in the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Brazil, India, Australia, China, Singapore and Japan. Most of the Company’s exposure to exchange rate fluctuation is due to translation gains and losses as there are no material transactions that cause exchange rate impact. In general, each of the foreign locations is expected to fund its own operations and cash flows, although funds may be loaned or invested from the U.S. to the foreign subsidiaries. These advances are considered long-term investments, and any gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates as well as gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Therefore, exchange rate movements of foreign currencies may have an impact on the Company’s future costs or on future cash flows from foreign investments. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.


Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP as set forth in the FASB ASC, and we consider the various staff accounting bulletins and other applicable guidance issued by the SEC. These accounting principles require management to make certain judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report include a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations filed as part of the 2024 Annual Report contains a discussion of the policies that management has identified as the most critical because they require management’s use of complex and/or significant judgments. None of the Company’s critical accounting policies have materially changed since the date of the 2024 Annual Report other than as described in the "Accounting Pronouncements Adopted during the Current Year" section of Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
The information required by this item is set forth under Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.
 

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
The risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the 2024 Annual Report, remain current in all material respects, except as set forth below.

In January 2020 Google announced that at some point in the following 24 months the Chrome browser would block third-party cookies. In April 2021, Google began releasing software updates to its Chrome browser with features intended to phase out third-party cookies. In May 2023, Google stated that it would deprecate third-party cookies by mid-2024 and in January 2024 started by deprecating third-party cookies for 1% of users globally. In April 2024, Google announced that the deprecation of third-party cookies will not be completed in 2024.

In July 2024 Google announced that, instead of deprecating third-party cookies, it will introduce “a new experience in Chrome that lets people make an informed choice that applies across their web browsing.” While Google has determined not to deprecate cookies at this time, it is possible that Google's ongoing efforts in this area may have a substantial impact on the ability to collect and use data from Internet users.

The foregoing shall be deemed to update the risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the 2024 Annual Report, including, but not limited to those risks described under the headings “As the use of ‘third-party cookies' or other tracking technology continues to be pressured by Internet users, restricted or otherwise subject to unfavorable regulation, blocked or limited by technical changes on end users’ devices, or our and our customers’ ability to use data on our platform is otherwise restricted, our business could be materially impacted.” and “Changes in legislative, judicial, regulatory, or cultural environments relating to information collection and use may limit our ability to collect and use data. Such developments could cause revenues to decline, increase the cost and availability of data and adversely affect the demand for our products and services.

The risk factors in the 2024 Annual Report, as updated above, do not identify all risks that we face.  Our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.  If any of the identified risks or others not specified in our SEC filings materialize, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. ("LiveRamp", "we", "us" or the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods included have been made, and the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Certain note information has been omitted because it has not changed significantly from that reflected in Notes 1 through 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed as part of Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (“2024 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC on May 22, 2024.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the 2024 Annual Report.  The financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other period or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.
 
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of the accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are complex and require management to make judgments and/or significant estimates regarding amounts reported or disclosed in these financial statements.  Additionally, the application of certain of these accounting policies is governed by complex accounting principles and their interpretation.  A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting principles and their application is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the 2024 Annual Report.

Habu Restricted Stock Awards

During fiscal 2024, in connection with the acquisition of Habu, the Company replaced the unvested outstanding restricted stock shares held by Habu employees immediately prior to the acquisition with restricted shares of LiveRamp common stock having substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the original restricted stock agreement. The conversion calculation resulted in the issuance of 36,118 replacement restricted stock shares having an acquisition-date fair value of $1.4 million. Of the $1.4 million acquisition-date fair value, $0.1 million was attributed to pre-combination service and treated as a component of purchase consideration transferred.

Trade accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for credit losses, returns and credits based on the probability of future collections. The probability of future collections is based on specific considerations of historical loss patterns and an assessment of the continuation of such patterns based on past collection trends and known or anticipated future economic events that may impair collectability. Accounts receivable that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include past due status greater than 360 days or bankruptcy of the debtor.

The expense included $0.1 million of severance and other employee-related charges in the United States and $0.1 million in adjustments to the fiscal 2021 employee-related restructuring plans for employees in the United States.

In fiscal 2024, the Company recorded a total of $4.2 million in employee-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense included severance and other employee-related charges in the United States, Europe, and APAC of $4.0 million and adjustments to the fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2023 employee-related restructuring plans for employees in the United States and Europe of $0.2 million. Of the fiscal 2024 employee-related restructuring plans, $0.5 million remained accrued as of June 30, 2024 and is expected to be paid out during fiscal 2025.

In fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a total of $1.7 million in employee-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense included severance and other employee-related charges in the United States and Europe. Of the fiscal 2021 total employee-related charges, $0.3 million remained accrued as of June 30, 2024 and is expected to be paid out during fiscal 2025.

Lease-related Impairments and Restructuring Plans

In fiscal 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to lower its operating expenses by reducing its global real estate footprint. As part of this plan, we exited a total of eight leased office spaces. Of those, five were located in the United States: one in Boston, one in Philadelphia, one in Phoenix, and two floors of leased office space in San Francisco. The three remaining spaces were located in Europe: one in the Netherlands, one floor of leased office space in London, England, and one floor of leased office space in Paris, France.

Based on a comparison of undiscounted cash flows to the ROU asset group of each exited lease, the Company determined that each of the ROU asset groups was impaired, driven largely by the difference between the existing lease terms and rates on the Company’s leases and the expected sublease terms and rates available in the market. This resulted in impairment charges totaling $26.5 million during fiscal 2023 and 2024, reflecting the excess of the ROU asset group book value over its fair value, which was determined based on estimates of future discounted cash flows and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The lease impairment charges included impairments of the operating lease ROU assets of $22.2 million, and the associated furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements of $4.3 million. Additionally, the Company recorded $2.8 million in lease-related restructuring charges and adjustments during fiscal 2023 and 2024 that covered other obligations related to the leased office spaces in San Francisco and Phoenix. Of the combined fiscal 2023 and 2024 lease-related restructuring charges of $2.8 million, $1.6 million remain accrued as of June 30, 2024 and will be satisfied over the remainder of the San Francisco lease term, which continues through April 2029.

In fiscal 2017, the Company made the strategic decision to exit and sub-lease a certain leased office facility under a staggered-exit plan. The full exit was completed in fiscal 2019. We intend to continue subleasing the facility to the extent possible. The liability will be satisfied over the remainder of the leased property's term, which continues through November 2025. Any future changes in the estimates or in the actual sublease income may require future adjustments to the liabilities, which would impact net earnings (loss) in the period the adjustment is recorded. Through June 30, 2024, the Company has recorded a total of $7.3 million of restructuring charges and adjustments related to this lease. Of the amount accrued for this facility lease, $1.1 million remained accrued at June 30, 2024.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
Legal Matters
 
The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management routinely assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as ranges of probable losses, to the extent losses are reasonably estimable. The Company records accruals for these matters to the extent that management concludes a loss is probable and the financial impact, should an adverse outcome occur, is reasonably estimable. These accruals are reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and are adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter. In management’s opinion, the Company has made appropriate and adequate accruals for these matters, and management believes the probability of a material loss beyond the amounts accrued to be remote. However, the ultimate liability for these matters is uncertain, and if accruals are not adequate, an adverse outcome could have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains insurance coverage above certain limits.

Commitments

The following table presents the Company’s purchase commitments at June 30, 2024.  Purchase commitments primarily include contractual commitments for the purchase of data, hosting services, software-as-a-service arrangements and leasehold improvements. The table does not include the future payment of liabilities related to uncertain tax positions of $26.1 million as the Company is not able to predict the periods in which the payments will be made. The amount for 2025 represents the remaining nine months ending March 31, 2025. All other periods represent fiscal years ending March 31 (dollars in thousands):

INCOME TAX

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAX INCOME TAX:In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company has historically applied its estimated annual effective tax rate ("AETR") to its year-to-date ordinary income or loss. However, due to the fact that small changes in the Company's annual estimated pretax income or loss would result in significant changes in the estimated AETR, the historical method was not considered to provide a reliable estimate as it is disproportionately sensitive to minor fluctuations in forecasted income. As such, the Company has computed its income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 using a discrete approach based on actual year-to-date results. The income tax expense for the current quarter was primarily driven by nondeductible stock-based compensation, capitalization of research and development expenditures in accordance with Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 174, as modified by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and the valuation allowance. Realization of the Company's net deferred tax assets is dependent upon its generation of sufficient taxable income of the proper character in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain benefit from the reversal of deductible temporary differences as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. As of June 30, 2024, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets except in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
 
The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
The following table details the fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands):

For certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these balances.
The Company held $3.1 million and $2.7 million of strategic investments without readily determinable fair values at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively (see Note 6). Strategic investments consist of non-controlling equity investments in privately held companies. These investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no impairment charges during the three months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.
