See the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Yext, Inc. ("Yext" or the "Company") organizes a business's facts so it can provide official answers to consumer questions starting with the business's own website and then extending across search engines and voice assistants. The Yext platform lets businesses structure the facts about their brands in a database called the Knowledge Graph. The platform is built to leverage the structured data stored in the Knowledge Graph to deliver a modern search experience on a business's or organization's own website, as well as across approximately 200 service and application providers, which the Company refers to as its Knowledge Network and includes Amazon Alexa, Apple Maps, Bing, Cortana, Facebook, Google, Google Assistant, Google Maps, Siri and Yelp. The Yext platform powers all of the Company's key features, including Listings, Pages, and Answers, along with its other features and capabilities.

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year ends on January 31st. References to fiscal 2023, for example, are to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2023.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2022 (the "Form 10-K"). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including certain notes required by GAAP on an annual reporting basis.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the fiscal year ending January 31, 2023, or any other period.

There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of those financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the standalone selling prices of performance obligations, the incremental borrowing rate associated with lease liabilities, the useful life of capitalized costs to obtain revenue contracts, income taxes, and the valuation and assumptions underlying stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial position and results of operations.

Segment Information

The Company is the provider of the Yext platform and operates as one operating segment. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers ("CODM"). The Company defines its CODM as its executive officers, and their role is to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company's business operates as one operating segment as all of the Company's offerings operate on the Yext platform and are deployed in an identical way, with its CODM evaluating the Company's financial information, resources and performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. Since the Company operates as one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Certain financial instruments that could be exposed to a concentration of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company deposits its cash with financial institutions, and such deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents to date. Collateral is not required for accounts receivable. At July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if the acquirer had originated the contracts, provided such contracts had been appropriately accounted for under ASC 606 by the acquiree, rather than recognizing them at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date as required under the existing guidance. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. This standard is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2024. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue

The Company has identified that it has two distinct performance obligations: subscription and associated support to the Yext platform and professional services. The Company's revenue is predominantly related to its subscription and associated support to the Yext platform. Professional services revenue accounted for approximately 9% and 8% of the Company's total revenue for the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by geographic region, as it believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue by geographic region is determined based on the region of the Company's contracting entity, which may be different than the region of its customers. The following table presents the Company's revenue by geographic region:

						Three months ended July 31,												Six months ended July 31,
(in thousands)						2022						2021						2022						2021
North America						$	81,082					$	77,639					$	159,791					$	150,699
International						19,787						20,485						39,880						39,417
Total revenue						$	100,869					$	98,124					$	199,671					$	190,116

North America revenue is attributable to the United States. International revenue is predominantly attributable to European countries, but also includes Japan.

The Company's revenue attributable to the United States represented 80% of total revenue, revenue attributable to England, which serves as the Company's main contracting entity for Europe, represented 18% of total revenue, and no other individual country represented more than 10% of total revenue for the six months ended July 31, 2022.

The Company's revenue attributable to the United States represented 79% of total revenue, revenue attributable to England, which serves as the Company's main contracting entity for Europe, represented 19% of total revenue, and no other individual country represented more than 10% of total revenue for the six months ended July 31, 2021.

A contract liability is an obligation to transfer goods or services for which consideration has been received or is due to a customer. The Company's contract liabilities consist primarily of unearned revenue and, to a lesser extent, customer deposits.

As of July 31, 2022, unearned revenue, current was $165.9 million, while unearned revenue, non-current, which is included within other long term liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, was $0.1 million. Revenue recognized of $149.1 million during the six months ended July 31, 2022 was included in unearned revenue at the beginning of the period.

Customer deposits represent payments received in advance in instances where a revenue contract is cancelable in nature, and therefore the Company does not have an unconditional obligation to transfer control to a customer. As of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, customer deposits of $1.2 million and $0.2 million were included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively.

The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents amounts under non-cancelable contracts expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods, and may be influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the timing of renewals, and contract terms. As of July 31, 2022, the Company had $326.6 million of remaining performance obligations, of which $310.3 million is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next twenty-four months, with the remaining balance expected to be recognized thereafter. As of January 31, 2022, the Company had $404.9 million of remaining performance obligations.

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings or other comprehensive (loss) income when they occur. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurement or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk.

The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

5. Goodwill

(in thousands)			July 31, 2022						January 31, 2022
Computer software			$	20,025					$	18,814

As of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the Company's property and equipment, net attributable to the United States was 88% and 90%, respectively. No other individual country represented more than 10% of the total property and equipment, net as of those periods. Depreciation expense was $4.3 million and $8.7 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, respectively and $4.0 million and $7.6 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, respectively.

Stock Options

       The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company's stock options:

			Outstanding Stock Options						Weighted-Average Exercise Price						Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)						Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Balance, January 31, 2022			6,620,701						$	7.28					4.32						$	11,723
Granted			—						$	—
Exercised			(197,241)						$	2.54
Forfeited or canceled			(1,676,615)						$	10.25
Balance, July 31, 2022			4,746,845						$	6.43					3.60						$	1,059
Vested and expected to vest			4,746,845						$	6.43					3.60						$	1,059
Exercisable at July 31, 2022			4,746,845						$	6.43					3.60						$	1,059

The aggregate intrinsic value of options vested and expected to vest and exercisable is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of July 31, 2022. The fair value of the common stock is the Company’s closing stock price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange.

The aggregate intrinsic value of exercised options was $0.7 million and $9.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the exercise date.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

        The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company's restricted stock and restricted stock units:

			Outstanding						Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance as of January 31, 2022			10,184,214						$	14.38
Granted			6,601,355						$	6.43
Vested and converted to shares			(2,266,302)						$	14.80
Forfeited or canceled			(2,288,431)						$	13.88
Balance as of July 31, 2022			12,230,836						$	9.75

The estimated weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units granted was $6.43 and $13.51 per share for the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fair value of the common stock is the Company’s closing stock price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In March 2017, the Company's Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), which became effective on the date it was adopted. The number of shares of the Company's common stock that will be available for sale to employees under the ESPP increases annually on the first day of each fiscal year in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 2,500,000 shares; (ii) 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; or (iii) such other amount as the administrator may determine. On February 1, 2022, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP was automatically increased according to its terms by 1,311,569 shares. As of July 31, 2022, a total of 4,397,670 shares of the Company's common stock are available for sale to employees under the ESPP.

In connection with the offering period which ended on March 15, 2022, 457,595 shares of common stock were purchased under the ESPP at a purchase price of $5.14 per share for total proceeds of $2.4 million.

A new offering period began on March 15, 2022 and will end on September 15, 2022. As of July 31, 2022, 341,970 shares are estimated to be purchased at the end of the offering period and $2.0 million has been withheld on behalf of employees for these future purchases under the ESPP and is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions estimated at the commencement of the new offering period and used to calculate the fair value of shares to be purchased during an ESPP offering period included expected lives of 0.5 years, expected volatility of 48.87% and 59.24%, and risk-free rates of 0.86% and 0.06%, for the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The expected life assumptions were based on each offering period's respective purchase date. The Company estimated the expected volatility assumption based on the historical volatility of its stock price. The risk-free rate assumptions were based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at commencement of the offering period. The dividend yield assumption was zero as the Company has not historically paid any dividends and does not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense associated with the ESPP of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively and $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, respectively. As of July 31, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to ESPP was $0.1 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which will be amortized over a weighted-average remaining period of 0.13 years.

A new offering period commences on the first trading day on or after March 15th and September 15th each year, or on such other date as the administrator will determine, and will end on the first trading day, approximately six months later, on or after September 15th and March 15th, respectively. Participants may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions, up to a maximum of 15% of their eligible compensation. Unless changed by the administrator, the purchase price for each share of common stock purchased under the ESPP will be 85% of the lower of the fair market value per share on the first trading day of the applicable offering period or the fair market value per share on the last trading day of the applicable offering period.

In March 2022, the Company made a grant to an executive in the form of 2,000,000 performance-based restricted stock units. This grant was outside of the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. These performance-based restricted stock units are subject to the achievement of certain stock price targets. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of this award and recognizes expense using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period.

The Company's stock-based compensation expense for the periods presented was as follows:

			Three months ended July 31,												Six months ended July 31,

Common Stock

Treasury Stock

 As of July 31, 2022, the Company had 16,729,429 shares of treasury stock carried at its cost basis of $70.9 million. As of January 31, 2022, the Company had 6,505,334 shares of treasury stock carried at its cost basis of $11.9 million.

Share Repurchase Program

In March 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $100.0 million share repurchase program of the Company’s common stock. As of July 31, 2022, a total of 10,224,095 shares have been purchased at an average price of $5.77 per share for a total cost of $58.9 million since the commencement of the share repurchase program. As of July 31, 2022, there was approximately $41.1 million that remained available to be purchased under this share repurchase program.

On March 11, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). No significant debt issuance costs were incurred in association with the Credit Agreement. In January 2021, the Company amended the Credit Agreement which modified the conditions pursuant to which subsidiaries are required to become guarantors.

The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving loan facility of up to $50.0 million that matures three years after the effective date, with the right subject to certain conditions to add an incremental revolving loan facility of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate. The three-year revolving loan facility provides for borrowings up to the amount of the facility with sub-limits of up to (i) $30.0 million to be available for the issuance of letters of credit and (ii) $10.0 million to be available for swingline loans.

Under the Credit Agreement, loans bear interest, at the Company's option, at an annual rate based on LIBOR or a base rate. Loans based on LIBOR shall bear interest at a rate between LIBOR plus 2.50% and LIBOR plus 3.00%, depending on the Company's average daily usage of the revolving loan facility. Loans based on the base rate shall bear interest at a rate between the base rate minus 0.50% and the base rate plus 0.00%, depending on the Company's average daily usage of the revolving loan facility.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the tangible and intangible property of the Company and by a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Company's material direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and 66% of each class of capital stock of any material first-tier foreign subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, as well as financial covenants that require the Company to maintain the year-over-year growth rate of its ordinary course recurring revenue for a trailing four fiscal quarter period above specified rates when certain liquidity thresholds are not met and to maintain a consolidated quick ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00 tested on a monthly basis.

        As of July 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. As of such date, the $50.0 million revolving loan facility had $35.9 million available and $14.1 million in letters of credit allocated as security in connection with office space.

The Company calculates its year-to-date (provision for) benefit from income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate ("AETR") to year-to-date income or loss from operations before income taxes and adjusts for discrete tax items recorded in the period. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded a (provision for) benefit from income taxes of $(0.7) million and $(1.0) million, respectively. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, the Company recorded a (provision for) benefit from income taxes of $(0.3) million and $(0.5) million, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance related to the Company's net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and in certain foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by the foreign tax rate differential on non-U.S. income. The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance on a jurisdictional basis if it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, loss carryback and tax-planning strategies. Generally, more weight is given to objectively verifiable evidence, such as the cumulative loss in recent years, as a significant piece of negative evidence to overcome. To the extent sufficient positive evidence becomes available, a portion of the valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax assets could be released in the future and would result in a non-cash income tax benefit in the period of release.

The Company's operating lease arrangements are principally for office space. As of July 31, 2022, the Company had $18.1 million of operating lease liabilities, current, $106.7 million of operating lease liabilities, non-current, $90.9 million of operating lease right-of-use assets, and no financing leases, on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The operating lease arrangements included in the measurement of lease liabilities do not include short-term leases, and had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.3 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 5.9%, as of July 31, 2022. During the six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company paid $9.8 million for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities and did not enter into any new lease arrangements.

During the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company recognized $13.6 million and $13.3 million, of lease expense, respectively, which consisted of the following:

									Six months ended July 31,
(in thousands)															2022						2021
Operating lease expense															$	8,315					$	8,502
Short-term lease expense															424						379
Variable lease expense															4,873						4,408
Total lease expense															$	13,612					$	13,289

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement beginning on the lease commencement date for lease arrangements that have an initial term greater than twelve months and therefore are recorded on the balance sheet. Short-term lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for lease arrangements that have an initial term of 12 months or less and therefore are not recorded on the balance sheet. Variable lease expense is recognized as incurred and includes real estate taxes and utilities, among other office space related expenses.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

Menzione v. Yext, Inc., et al., No. 1:22-cv-05127 (S.D.N.Y.)

On June 17, 2022, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by a purported purchaser of Company securities. The complaint names the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer (Howard Lerman), and its former Chief Financial Officer (Steven Cakebread) as defendants. The complaint alleges that the defendants purportedly made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, including information regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company. The purported class includes all persons and entities that purchased or acquired our securities between March 4, 2021 and March 8, 2022. The complaint seeks monetary damages for alleged securities law violations. Motions for appointment as lead plaintiff and lead counsel were filed on August 16, 2022. On September 6, 2022, the court appointed the Operating Engineers Construction Industry and Miscellaneous Pension Fund to be lead plaintiff for the purported class, and Robbins Gellar Rudman & Dowd LLP to be lead counsel for the purported class. Yext believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims and intends to defend itself vigorously.

In addition to the litigation described above, the Company is and may be involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, currently, in the opinion of the Company, the likelihood of any material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or the Company's financial position for any such litigation or claims is deemed to be remote. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Warranties and Indemnifications

The Yext platform is in some cases warranted to perform in a manner consistent with general industry standards that are reasonably applicable and materially in accordance with the Company's product specifications.

The Company's arrangements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if its products or services infringe a third-party's intellectual property rights and/or if the Company breaches its contractual agreements with a customer or in instances of negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by the Company. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company has also agreed to indemnify certain of its directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person's service as a director or officer, including any action by the Company, arising out of that person's services as the Company's director or officer or that person's services provided to any other company or enterprise at the Company's request. The Company maintains director and officer insurance coverage that would generally enable the Company to recover a portion of future amounts paid. The Company may also be subject to indemnification obligations by law with respect to the actions of its employees under certain circumstances and in certain jurisdictions.

14. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders:

						Three months ended July 31,												Six months ended July 31,
(in thousands, except share and per share data)						2022						2021						2022						2021
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to common stockholders						$	(19,991)					$	(27,592)					$	(45,830)					$	(45,223)
Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding						124,234,226						126,906,937						127,631,877						126,152,602
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted						$	(0.16)					$	(0.22)					$	(0.36)					$	(0.36)

        Since the Company was in a net loss position for all periods presented, net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was the same on a basic and diluted basis, as the inclusion of all potential common equivalent shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive common equivalent shares were as follows:

						As of July 31,
						2022						2021
Options to purchase common stock						4,746,845						7,393,066
Restricted stock and restricted stock units						12,230,836						11,241,985
Shares estimated to be purchased under ESPP						341,970						207,120
Performance-based restricted stock units						2,000,000						—
Total anti-dilutive common equivalent shares						19,319,651						18,842,171

Yext organizes a business's facts so it can provide official answers to consumer questions starting with the business's own website and then extending across search engines and voice assistants. Our platform lets businesses structure the facts about their brands in a database called the Knowledge Graph. Our platform is built to leverage the structured data stored in the Knowledge Graph to deliver a modern search experience on a business's or organization's own website, as well as across approximately 200 service and application providers, which we refer to as our Knowledge Network and includes Amazon Alexa, Apple Maps, Bing, Cortana, Facebook, Google, Google Assistant, Google Maps, Siri and Yelp. Our platform powers all of our key features, including Listings, Pages, and Answers, along with its other features and capabilities.

We sell our platform throughout the world to customers of all sizes, including our enterprise, mid-size, and third-party reseller customers. In transactions with resellers, we are only party to the transaction with the reseller and are not a party to the reseller's transaction with its customer.

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year ends on January 31st. References to fiscal 2023, for example, are to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2023.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted business operations for us and our customers, as well as suppliers, and other parties with whom we do business. Such disruptions are expected to continue for an indefinite period of time.

We have adopted several measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to monitor regional developments to inform our operational decisions. Our offices have been open on a voluntary basis in accordance with guidance provided by government agencies, although currently the majority of our employees are still working remotely. While we continue to hold virtual events, we have also resumed in-person marketing events. The uncertain duration of these measures have had and may continue to have negative effects on our sales efforts and revenue growth rates. We continue to be committed to our business, the strength of our platform, our ability to continue to execute on our strategy, and our efforts to support our customers.

We may continue to see some existing and potential customers, in particular customers in industries and geographies that have been highly impacted by the pandemic, may reduce, suspend or delay technology spending, request to renegotiate contracts to obtain concessions such as, extended billing and payment terms; shorten the duration of contracts; or elect not to renew their subscriptions which could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations in future periods. The ultimate extent of the impact of the pandemic will depend on future developments, which continue to be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants, vaccination rates and efficacy and the actions taken to contain and address the impact of the pandemic, among others. However, because we generally recognize revenue from our customer contracts ratably over the term of the contract, changes in our contracting activity in the near term may not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial performance until future periods. See Part II Item 1A “Risk Factors” for further discussion of the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

Sales and marketing expense was $54.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022, compared to $58.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2021, a decrease of $4.5 million or 8%. The decrease was primarily driven by employee-related costs, as personnel-related costs decreased $2.1 million, reflecting lower headcount, and stock-based compensation expense which decreased $1.2 million, largely due to decreases in the fair value of awards granted. In addition, advertising costs decreased $2.0 million due to certain brand media campaigns in the prior period. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in conferences and events and a $0.7 million increase in employee travel.

The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP net loss:

			Three months ended July 31,												Six months ended July 31,
(in thousands)			2022						2021						2022						2021
Net loss			$	(19,991)					$	(27,592)					$	(45,830)					$	(45,223)

Non-GAAP net loss			$	(3,909)					$	(7,190)					$	(11,662)					$	(10,223)

We provide revenue, including year-over-year growth rates, adjusted to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations, which we refer to as constant currency. We believe providing revenue on a constant currency basis helps our investors to better understand our underlying performance, given the current macroeconomic environment. We calculate constant currency by using the current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than USD, which are then converted into USD at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the comparative period, as opposed to the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the current period. Our definition may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Thus, our revenue on a constant currency basis should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, nor superior to or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We provide a reconciliation of revenue on a constant currency basis to the most closely related GAAP financial measure. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and to view revenue on a constant currency basis in conjunction with revenue on a GAAP basis.

The following table provides a reconciliation of revenue on a GAAP basis to revenue on a constant currency basis:

			Three months ended July 31,
(in thousands)			2022						2021						Growth Rates
Revenue (GAAP)			$	100,869					$	98,124					3		%

Effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations			4,168
Revenue on a constant currency basis (Non-GAAP)			$	203,839											7		%

As of July 31, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $187.9 million. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our cash flows, including net cash used in or provided by operating activities, may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, due to the timing of billings, cash collections and lease payments, significant marketing events and related expenses, and the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors.

The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving loan facility of up to $50.0 million that matures three years after the effective date, with the right subject to certain conditions to add an incremental revolving loan facility of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate. The three-year revolving loan facility provides for borrowings up to the amount of the facility with sub-limits of up to (i) $30.0 million to be available for the issuance of letters of credit and (ii) $10.0 million to be available for swingline loans.

Under the Credit Agreement, loans bear interest, at our option, at an annual rate based on LIBOR or a base rate. Loans based on LIBOR shall bear interest at a rate between LIBOR plus 2.50% and LIBOR plus 3.00%, depending on our average daily usage of the revolving loan facility. Loans based on the base rate shall bear interest at a rate between the base rate minus 0.50% and the base rate plus 0.00%, depending on our average daily usage of the revolving loan facility. See Part II Item 1A “Risk Factors - Our credit facility contains restrictive covenants that may limit our operating flexibility" for discussion of LIBOR being phased out.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible property and by a pledge of all of our equity interests of material direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and 66% of each class of capital stock of any material first-tier foreign subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, as well as financial covenants that require us to maintain the year-over-year growth rate of its ordinary course recurring revenue for a trailing four fiscal quarter period above specified rates when certain liquidity thresholds are not met and to maintain a consolidated quick ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00 tested on a monthly basis.

The following table summarizes our cash flows:

			Six months ended July 31,

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities			$	(7,305)					$	2,449
Net cash used in investing activities			$	(3,875)					$	(10,555)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities			$	(56,568)					$	17,585

Net cash provided by financing activities of $17.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021 was primarily related to proceeds from exercise of stock options of $14.4 million and net proceeds from employee stock purchase plan withholdings of $3.4 million.

        As of July 31, 2022, future minimum payments under these contractual obligations are as follows (in thousands):
