CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance, such as those contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions.
For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report and the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our public filings, including under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which we make it. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

DEFINITIVE HEALTHCARE CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business
Definitive Healthcare Corp., through its operating subsidiary, Definitive OpCo, provides comprehensive and up-to-date hospital and healthcare-related information and insight across the entire healthcare continuum via a multi-tenant software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platform which combines proprietary and public sources to deliver insights. Unless otherwise stated, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Definitive Healthcare” and the “Company” refer (1) prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions (as defined below), to Definitive OpCo and its consolidated subsidiaries, and (2) after the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions, to Definitive Healthcare Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Organization
Definitive Healthcare Corp. was formed on
The Company is headquartered in Framingham, MA.
Initial Public Offering
On September 17, 2021, Definitive Healthcare completed its IPO, in which it sold
Definitive Healthcare used net proceeds from the IPO to (i) acquire
Reorganization Transactions
In connection with the IPO, the Company completed the following transactions (the “Reorganization Transactions”). Definitive OpCo entered into a second amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the “Amended LLC Agreement”) pursuant to which members of Definitive OpCo prior to the IPO who continue to hold LLC Units have the right to require Definitive OpCo to exchange all or a portion of their LLC Units for newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock. Until exchanged, each LLC Unit is coupled with one share of Definitive Healthcare Corp. Class B Common Stock. The total amount of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding is equal to the number of vested LLC Units outstanding. Entities treated as corporations for U.S. tax purposes that held LLC Units (individually, a “Blocker Company” and collectively, the "Blocker Companies") each merged with a merger subsidiary and subsequently merged into Definitive Healthcare Corp. and are now holders of Class A Common Stock.
Following the Reorganization Transactions, Definitive Healthcare Corp. became a holding company, with its sole material asset being a controlling equity interest in Definitive OpCo.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in conformity with rules applicable to quarterly financial information. Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative nongovernmental GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited. Amounts for the period from January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021 presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein represent the historical operations of Definitive OpCo. The amounts as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the period from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022 reflect the consolidated operations of Definitive Healthcare Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for these interim periods have been included.
Refer below and to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 for the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates relate, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingencies, valuations and useful lives of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, equity-based compensation, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”).
In accordance with ASC 842, the Company, at the inception of the contract, determines whether a contract is or contains a lease. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related operating or finance right of use asset and lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company is generally not able to readily determine the implicit rate in the lease and therefore uses the determined incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the market interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. Renewal options are not included in the measurement of the right of use assets and lease liabilities unless the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the optional renewal periods. Some leases also include early termination options, which can be exercised under specific conditions. Additionally, certain leases contain incentives, such as construction allowances from landlords. These incentives reduce the right-of-use asset related to the lease.
Some of the Company's leases contain rent escalations over the lease term. The Company recognizes expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements contain variable lease payments for common area maintenance, utility, and taxes. The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset categories. Therefore, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability for these leases include fixed minimum rentals along with fixed non-lease component charges. The Company does not have significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants in the lease portfolio.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815—Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.
11
As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
In accordance with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance in ASU 2011-04—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASC 820”), the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
Adoption of Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08—Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This new accounting standard requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires the acquirer to recognize contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The new accounting guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2022. In connection with the acquisition of Analytical Wizards completed in the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded contract liabilities of $
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12—Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard removes certain exceptions for investments, intra-period allocations and interim tax calculations and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2022, but the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02—Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The FASB subsequently issued supplemental and/or clarifying ASUs inclusive of ASU 2020-05, which updated the effective date for certain non-public companies to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, or by not adjusting the comparative periods and recording a cumulative effect adjustment as of the adoption date, with certain practical expedients available. The Company, as an Emerging Growth Company as defined by the JOBS Act of 2012, elected to take the extended transition period and adopt the standard following guidance for non-public entities.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases effective January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective transition method. Prior period results will continue to be presented under ASC 840 as it was the accounting standard in effect for such periods. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients that allows entities to forgo reassessing at the transition date: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) whether unamortized initial direct costs for existing leases meet the definition of initial direct costs under the new guidance. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. The Company elected to use the practical expedient that allows the combination of lease and non-lease contract components in all of its underlying asset categories. Finally, the Company also elected a policy of not recording leases on its condensed consolidated balance sheets when the leases have a term of

Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope, such as trade receivables. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will adopt the update effective January 1, 2023 and does not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04—Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments of ASU No. 2020-04 are effective for companies as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform and provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The Company is evaluating the impact that the amendments of this standard would have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Remaining Performance Obligations
ASC 606 introduced the concept of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations of a contract, which is different than unbilled deferred revenue under ASC 605. Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the timing of renewals, and disparate contract terms. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and backlog. The Company’s backlog represents installment billings for periods beyond the current billing cycle. The majority of the Company’s noncurrent remaining performance obligations will be recognized in the next 13 to 36 months.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to risks from changes in interest rates related to the term loan (See Note 11. Long-Term Debt). The Company may use derivative financial instruments, specifically, interest rate swap contracts, in order to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of cash flows associated with changes in interest rates. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
In March of 2022, the Company entered into
The derivative interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Consequently, the change in the estimated fair value of the effective portion of the derivative is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to interest expense, net, when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings. The Company expects to recognize approximately $
19
activities on a gross basis as either assets or liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures them at fair value. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions.
The fair values of the interest rate swaps and their respective locations in our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2022 were as follows:

2021 Credit Agreement
In September 2021, Definitive Healthcare Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("DH Holdings"), an indirect subsidiary of Definitive Healthcare Corp., entered into a credit agreement (the "2021 Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other lenders party thereto and the other parties specified therein.

12. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, and establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, including the Company’s own assumptions in determining fair value.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to the three-level fair value hierarchy consist principally of cash and equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term and short-term debt and contingent consideration payable. The estimated fair value of cash included in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying value due to due to their short maturities (less than 12 months).
Debt
The Company’s short- and long-term debt are recorded at their carrying values in the consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s short- and long-term debt approximate their carrying values as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, based on interest rates currently available to the Company for similar borrowings.
Money market funds (included in cash and cash equivalents)
Money market funds are recorded at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term investments
The Company utilizes a third party pricing service for the valuation of its short-term investments. U.S. treasuries consist of short-term treasury bills that are recorded at fair value using market information obtained from dealers and brokers and classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Commercial paper is carried at fair value, which is determined using a market yield curve-based approach based on observable inputs. Commercial paper is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative financial instruments
Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.
To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.
21
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to its derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of its derivatives held as of March 31, 2022 were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Contingent consideration
The deferred consideration that resulted from the acquisition of Analytical Wizards in the first quarter of 2022, which is subject to the meeting of certain expense control metrics during the two-year period following the AW acquisition, is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value was estimated based on the present value of the amount expected to be paid at the end of the measurement period. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $
The contingent consideration that resulted from the earn-outs associated with the acquisition of Monocl Holding Company in October of 2020, which was included in accrued expense and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was paid in the first quarter of 2022.
Earnout liabilities are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the methodology used to develop the estimated fair value includes significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions.

Certain assets and liabilities, including property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are remeasured when the derived fair value is below the carrying value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. When impairment has occurred, the Company measures the required charges and adjusts the carrying value as discussed in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.
At March 31, 2022, additional assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

14. Noncontrolling Interest
Definitive Healthcare Corp. operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Definitive OpCo, and through Definitive OpCo and its subsidiaries, conducts its business. Accordingly, Definitive Healthcare Corp. consolidates the financial results of Definitive OpCo, and reports the noncontrolling interests of its consolidated subsidiaries on its consolidated financial statements based on the Definitive OpCo Units held by Continuing LLC Members. Changes in Definitive Healthcare Corp.'s ownership interest in its consolidated subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of Definitive OpCo Units by Continuing LLC Members will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as noncontrolling interests and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022,

17. Income Taxes
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, management performed an assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Management determined, based on the accounting standards applicable to such assessment, that there was sufficient negative evidence as a result of the Company’s scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and cumulative losses to conclude it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized and has recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. In the event that management was to determine that the Company would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

Tax Receivable Agreement
Pursuant to the Company's election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), the Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of AIDH Topco, LLC when LLC Interests are redeemed or exchanged by other members. The Company plans to make an election under Section 754 of the Code for each taxable year in which a redemption of exchange of LLC Interest occurs. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of LLC Interest as direct purchases of LLC Interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that would otherwise be paid in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") and has recorded a liability under the TRA of $
18. Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Definitive Healthcare Corp. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period, excluding unvested equity awards and subsidiary member units not exchanged. Diluted earnings per share of Class A Common Stock is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Definitive Healthcare Corp, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.
Prior to the IPO, the Definitive OpCo membership structure included Class A and Class B member units. The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per unit for periods prior to the IPO and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these unaudited consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve and its impact on the economy and healthcare ecosystem have been vast. However, other than a brief slowdown in new bookings during the second quarter of 2020 at the outset of the pandemic, the
27
pandemic has not adversely affected our business, results of operations or financial condition. We continued to invest in our sales force and the business and have not experienced any known business disruptions as a result of the pandemic. Most of our services are already delivered remotely or are capable of being delivered remotely. We have demonstrated our agility to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by introducing information on telehealth adoption, COVID-19 analytics and more. We also benefitted from reduced travel expenses and continued to invest in talent and technology. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our financial condition or results of operations over the medium-to-long term, however, remains uncertain. We will continue to actively monitor the pandemic and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and stockholders.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that the growth and future success of our business depend on many factors, including the following:
Acquiring New Customers
We plan to continue to organically grow the number of customers that use our platform by increasing demand for our platform and penetrating our addressable market. Our results of operations and growth prospects will depend in part on our ability to attract new customers. We intend to drive new customer acquisition with our efficient go-to-market engine by continuing to invest in our sales and marketing efforts and developing new use cases for our platform. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had over 2,900 and 2,800 customers, respectively. We define a customer as a company that maintains one or more active paid subscriptions to our platform. We have identified more than 100,000 potential customers across the healthcare ecosystem that we believe could benefit from our platform. Our ability to attract and acquire new customers is dependent on the strength of our platform and effectiveness of our go-to-market strategy.
Expanding Relationships with Existing Customers
We believe there is a significant opportunity to generate additional revenue from our existing customer base.
Our customers have historically increased their spending by adding intelligence modules and expanding use-cases across departments. Our customers are typically assigned to one of our vertically-focused teams, which is responsible for driving usage and increasing adoption of the platform, identifying expansion opportunities and driving customer renewals. Real-time input from these customer centric teams feeds directly into our product innovation teams, enhancing the development of new intelligence modules. We believe this feedback loop and our ability to innovate creates significant opportunities for continual existing customer expansion.
Our platform currently offers 18 intelligence modules. Our success in expanding usage of our platform with our existing customers is demonstrated by our net dollar retention rate ("NDR"), which is further described below. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our NDR for customers generating more than $100,000 in ARR ("Enterprise Customers") was 120% and our NDR for all customers over $17,500 ARR was 111%.
Continuing to Innovate and Expand Our Platform
The growth of our business is driven in part by our ability to apply our deep healthcare domain expertise to innovate and expand our platform. We have continually created new products since our founding in 2011 and have launched 18 highly integrated intelligence modules to date. We plan to continue to invest significantly into our engineering and research and development efforts to enhance our capabilities and functionality and facilitate the expansion of our platform to new use cases and customers. In addition, we work to continuously release updates and new features. While we are primarily focused on organic investments to drive innovation, we will also evaluate strategic acquisitions and investments that further expand our platform.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe certain non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. Non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they eliminate certain non-cash items and items that affect period-over-period comparability and provide consistency with past financial performance and additional information about our underlying results and trends by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook.
28
We view Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as operating performance measures. As such, we believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin is GAAP Gross Profit, and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is GAAP net loss.
Non-GAAP measures are supplemental financial measures of our performance, and should not be considered substitutes for net loss, gross profit or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP. This information should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items or events being adjusted. In addition, other companies may use different measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as revenue less cost of revenue (excluding acquisition-related depreciation and amortization) and a small quantity of stock based compensation. Adjusted Gross Profit differs from Gross Profit, in that Gross Profit includes the impact of acquisition-related depreciation and amortization expense. We exclude acquisition-related depreciation and amortization expense as they have no direct correlation to the cost of operating our business on an ongoing basis. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue. These are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess our operations.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We present “Adjusted EBITDA” as a measure of our operating performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before (i) debt-related costs, including interest expense and loss from extinguishment of debt, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for taxes, and (iv) depreciation and amortization. Management further adjusts EBITDA in its presentation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude (i) other (income) expense, (ii) equity-based compensation, (iii) acquisition-related expenses and (iv) other non-recurring and one-time expenses. We exclude these items because they are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, and therefore we do not believe them to be representative of ongoing operational performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess the profitability of our operations. We believe these metrics provide useful measures to investors to assess our operating performance and in measuring the profitability of our operations on a consolidated level.

Key Metrics
We monitor the following key metrics to help us evaluate our business performance, identify financial trends, formulate business plans, and make strategic operational decisions.
Net Dollar Retention Rate ("NDR")
We believe the growth in use of our platform by our existing customers is an important measure of the health of our business and our future growth prospects. We evaluate and report on our NDR on an annual basis to measure this growth. We define NDR as the percentage of ARR retained from existing customers across a defined period, after accounting for upsell, down-sell, pricing changes and churn. We calculate NDR as beginning ARR for a period, plus (i) expansion ARR (including, but not limited to, upsell and pricing increases), less (ii) churn (including, but not limited to, non-renewals and contractions), divided by (iii) beginning ARR for a period.
Current Remaining Performance Obligations ("cRPO")
We monitor current remaining performance obligations as a metric to help us evaluate the health of our business and identify trends affecting our growth. cRPO represents the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue within the next twelve months. cRPO is not necessarily indicative of future revenue growth. cRPO is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the timing of renewals, and disparate contract terms. Due to these factors, it is important to review cRPO in conjunction with revenue and other financial metrics.
The following table presents cRPO as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Impact of Acquisitions
We seek to enhance our platform, data and business through internal development and through acquisitions of and investments in businesses that broaden and strengthen our platform. In February 2022, we completed our acquisition of Analytical Wizards, Inc. This acquisition further strengthens our data platform and our business. Acquisitions can result in transaction costs, amortization expenses and other adjustments as purchase accounting requires that all assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. Refer to Note 3. Acquisitions in the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further details.
Components of our Results of Operations
Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we derived approximately 99% of our revenue from subscription services and the remainder from professional services. Our subscription services consist primarily of subscription fees for access to our platform. Our subscription contracts typically have a term ranging from 1 to 3 years and are non-cancellable. We typically bill for services in advance annually, and we typically require payment at the beginning of each annual period. Our subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Our professional services revenue typically is derived from consulting services which are generally capable of being distinct and can be accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue related to these professional services is insignificant and is recognized at a point in time, when the performance obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied and control has been transferred to the customer.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology and data, consists of direct expenses related to the support and operations of our SaaS platform, such as data and infrastructure costs, personnel costs for our professional services, customer support and data research teams, such as salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits, as well as allocated overheads. We anticipate that we will continue to invest in cost of revenue and that cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue will stay consistent or modestly increase as we add to our existing intelligence modules and invest in new products and data sources. Cost of data is included in the cost of revenue and is a fundamental driver of innovation.
Amortization. Includes amortization expense for technology and data acquired in business combinations and asset purchase agreements. We anticipate that amortization will only increase if we make additional acquisitions in the future.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit and gross margin have been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including the costs associated with third-party data and third-party hosting services, leveraging economies of scale, and the extent to which we introduce new intelligence modules, features or functionality or expand our customer support and service organizations, hire additional personnel or complete additional acquisitions. We expect that our gross profit and gross margin will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these various factors.
Operating Expenses
The most significant component of our operating expenses is personnel costs, which consist of salaries, bonuses, sales commissions, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits. Operating expenses also include non-personnel costs such as facilities, technology, professional fees, and marketing.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel costs such as salaries, bonuses, sales commissions, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits for our sales and marketing teams, as well as non-personnel costs including overhead costs, technology and marketing costs. We expect that sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue may increase in 2022, primarily as a result of compensation expense associated with key management-level personnel, partially offset by cost savings resulting from expected operating leverage in the business. We continue to hire additional sales and marketing personnel, enhance our digital marketing infrastructure and invest in marketing programs targeting our major vertical markets.
Product development. Product development expenses primarily consist of personnel costs such as salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits for our engineering, data science and product teams, as well as non-personnel costs including overhead costs. We believe that our core technologies and ongoing innovation represent a significant competitive advantage
31
for us, and we expect our product development expenses to continue to increase as we further strengthen and enhance our solutions. We anticipate that product development expense as a percentage of revenue will stay consistent or modestly increase as we continue to invest in systems optimization and module improvements for our customers, enhance our software development team and continue to invest in automation and A.I. to drive higher quality data and deeper insights.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs such as salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits for our executive, finance, legal, human resources, IT and operations, and administrative teams, as well as non-personnel costs including overhead costs, professional fees and other corporate expenses including expenses associated with operating as a public company. We anticipate that general and administrative costs will significantly increase relative to prior periods due to the incremental costs associated with operating as a public company, including corporate insurance costs, additional accounting and legal expenses, and additional resources associated with controls, reporting, and disclosure. Due primarily to the costs associated with operating as a public company, we expect general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue to increase in 2022, and then stay consistent or modestly decrease thereafter, as we realize operating leverage in the business.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses consist primarily of amortization of customer relationships and trade names primarily as a result of the accounting for the Advent acquisition, as well as depreciation of property and equipment. We anticipate depreciation of property and equipment as a percentage of revenue to moderately decrease, although amortization will increase if we make additional acquisitions in the future.
Transaction expenses. Transaction expenses are costs directly associated with various acquisition and integration activities we have undertaken, primarily accounting and legal due diligence, and consulting and advisory fees.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net consists primarily of interest expense, net and other income (expense), net.
Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest expense on our debt obligations and the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs, less interest income. We expect to realize a reduction in our interest expense during 2022 over prior periods resulting from the repayment of a portion of our outstanding indebtedness with the proceeds from the IPO. We also expect that we will eventually see a reduction in our interest expense resulting from our interest rate swap agreement, though it may increase interest expense in the short-term.
Other income (expense), net consists primarily of the revaluation of tax receivable agreement liabilities and realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the impact of transactions denominated in a foreign currency. We do not have significant exposure to foreign exchange volatility and do not anticipate foreign currency transaction gains or losses to materially impact our results of operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Revenue
Revenue increased $13.2 million, or 36%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year, driven by higher subscription revenue of $13.5 million. This increase was primarily due to net expansion with existing customers as well as organic addition of new customers.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue increased $1.9 million, or 20%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased hosting fees, additional data subscription contracts, increases in employee benefit and insurance costs and, to a lesser extent, incremental personnel costs resulting from the acquisition of Analytical Wizards.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $20.1 million, or 68%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to:
33
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net decreased $6.3 million, or 76%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year, due to a decrease in interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was attributable to lower outstanding debt in 2022, as well as lower interest rates resulting from the refinancing of the Company’s debt in September of 2021.
Net loss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $2.6 million, or 24%, compared with the same period in the prior year, which was driven by the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of March 31, 2022, we had $229.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, $109.0 million of short-term investments and $75.0 million available under our revolving credit facility. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand, primarily from our IPO and follow-on offerings that occurred in September and November 2021, respectively, as well as the cash flows we generate from operations. Our principal uses of liquidity have been primarily for investment in long-term growth of the business through capital expenditures and acquisitions, as well as debt services and distributions to members of Definitive OpCo.
Definitive Healthcare Corp. is a holding company, and its sole material asset is its ownership interest in Definitive OpCo. All of our business is conducted through Definitive OpCo and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, and the financial results are included in the consolidated financial statements of Definitive Healthcare Corp. Definitive Healthcare Corp. has no independent means of generating revenue. The Amended LLC Agreement provides that certain distributions will be made to cover Definitive Healthcare Corp.'s taxes and such tax distributions are also expected to be used by Definitive Healthcare Corp. to satisfy its obligations under the TRA. We have broad discretion to make distributions out of Definitive OpCo. In the event Definitive Healthcare Corp. declares any cash dividend, we expect to cause Definitive OpCo to make distributions to us, in an amount sufficient to cover such cash dividends declared by us. Deterioration in the financial condition, earnings, or cash flow of Definitive OpCo and its subsidiaries for any reason could limit or impair their ability to pay such distributions. In addition, the terms of our 2021 Credit Agreement contain covenants that may restrict DH Holdings and its subsidiaries from paying such distributions, subject to certain exceptions. Further, Definitive OpCo and Definitive Healthcare Corp. are generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of Definitive OpCo and DH Holdings (with certain exceptions), as applicable, exceed the fair value of its assets. Subsidiaries of DH Holdings are generally subject to similar legal limitations on their ability to make distributions to DH Holdings.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, availability under the 2021 Credit Agreement and available cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. We anticipate that to the extent that we require additional liquidity, it will be funded through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the issuance of additional equity, or a combination thereof. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain this additional liquidity on reasonable terms, or at all.
Additionally, our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations and fund our capital requirements are also dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial and other factors that are beyond our control. See “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K. Accordingly, we cannot provide assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available from additional indebtedness or otherwise to meet our liquidity needs. If we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, we may incur additional debt or sell or issue additional equity to finance such acquisitions, which could possibly result in additional expenses or dilution.

Cash Flows provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operations was $13.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily as a result of a net loss of $13.1 million, offset by non-cash charges of $24.5 million. The non-cash charges were primarily comprised of amortization of intangible assets of $14.7 million, equity compensation costs of $6.9 million, amortization of deferred contract costs of $1.9 million, a remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement of $0.2 million, and amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.2 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities of $2.2 million was primarily the result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $8.5 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $6.2 million due to the timing of billings and cash received in advance of revenue recognition for subscription services, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.7 million, partially offset by cash outflows resulting from $6.4 million in payments of contingent consideration arising from the Monocl acquisition, lower accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, collectively, of $3.6 million, and an increase in deferred contract costs of $3.3 million.
Net cash provided by operations was $13.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as a result of a net loss of $10.5 million, which was offset by non-cash charges of $16.5 million and a change of $7.5 million in our operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges were primarily comprised of amortization of intangible assets of $14.3 million, amortization of deferred contract costs of $0.8 million, and amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of an increase in deferred revenue of $10.4 million due to the timing of billings and cash received in advance of revenue recognition for subscription services and lower accounts receivable of $4.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $3.9 million, an increase in deferred contract costs of $2.9 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.6 million.
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $166.9 million, primarily driven by purchases of $109.6 million in short-term investments and $56.5 million paid to complete the purchase of Analytical Wizards (net of cash acquired).
Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $3.8 million, driven entirely by the purchases of property, equipment, and other assets.
Cash Flows used in Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $4.4 million, primarily driven by repayments of the 2021 Term Loan of $1.7 million, $1.3 million in payments of deferred equity offering issuance costs, and $1.1 million in payments of contingent consideration arising from the Monocl acquisition.
Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1.3 million, primarily due to repayments on the Term Loan.
Refer to Debt Obligations for additional information related to our debt obligations.
Debt Obligations
The 2021 Term Loan is for $275.0 million and has a maturity date of September 17, 2026. The 2021 Term Loan was recorded net of $3.5 million in issuance costs, which are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2021 Term Loan using the effective interest method.
The 2021 Term Loan is subject to annual amortization of principal, payable in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on the Initial Amortization Date, equal to approximately 2.5% per annum of the principal amount of

the term loans in the first year and second year after the Initial Amortization Date and approximately 5.0% per annum of the principal amount of the term loans in the third year, fourth year, and fifth year after the Initial Amortization Date. A balloon payment of approximately $220.0 million will be due at the maturity of the 2021 Term Loan. There was $271.6 million outstanding on the 2021 Term Loan at March 31, 2022.
The 2021 Revolving Line of Credit is committed for $75.0 million and has a maturity date of September 17, 2026. There was no outstanding balance on the 2021 Revolving Line of Credit as of March 31, 2022.
The 2021 Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants and the Company was compliant with its financial covenants under the 2021 Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, the Company entered into the TRA with certain of our pre- IPO unitholders and the former shareholders of certain Blocker Companies. The TRA provides for the payment by Definitive Healthcare Corp. of 85.0% of the amount of any tax benefits that it actually realizes, or in some cases is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) certain favorable tax attributes it acquired from the Blocker Companies in the Reorganization Transactions (including net operating losses and the unamortized portion of the increase in tax basis in the tangible and intangible assets of Definitive OpCo and its subsidiaries resulting from the prior acquisitions of interests in Definitive OpCo by the Blocker Companies), (ii) tax basis adjustments resulting from the acquisition of LLC Units by Definitive Healthcare Corp. and (iii) certain payments made under the TRA.
In each case, these tax basis adjustments generated over time may increase (for tax purposes) the Definitive Healthcare Corp.’s depreciation and amortization deductions and, therefore, may reduce the amount of tax that the Definitive Healthcare Corp. would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the IRS may challenge all or part of the validity of that tax basis, and a court could sustain such a challenge. The anticipated tax basis adjustments upon redemptions or exchanges of LLC Units may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those assets. The payment obligations under the TRA are an obligation of Definitive Healthcare Corp., but not of Definitive OpCo. Definitive Healthcare Corp. expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of realized cash tax benefits. For purposes of the TRA, the realized cash tax benefits will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of Definitive Healthcare Corp. (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that Definitive Healthcare Corp. would have been required to pay had there been no tax basis adjustments of the assets of Definitive Healthcare Corp. as a result of redemptions or exchanges and no utilization of certain tax attributes of the Blocker Companies, and had Definitive Healthcare Corp. not entered into the TRA. The term of the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless (i) Definitive Healthcare Corp. exercises its right to terminate the TRA for an amount based on the agreed payments remaining to be made under the agreement, (ii) Definitive Healthcare Corp. breaches any of its material obligations under the TRA in which case all obligations (including any additional interest due relating to any deferred payments) generally will be accelerated and due as if Definitive Healthcare Corp. had exercised its right to terminate the TRA, or (iii) there is a change of control of Definitive Healthcare Corp., in which case, all obligations (including any additional interest due relating to any deferred payments) generally will be accelerated and due as if Definitive Healthcare Corp. had exercised its right to terminate the TRA as described above in clause (i). Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the TRA is by its nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors. The amount of the anticipated tax basis adjustments, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the price of shares of our Class A Common Stock at the time of an exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, the amount of tax attributes, and the amount and timing of our income.
We expect that as a result of the size of the anticipated tax basis adjustment of the tangible and intangible assets of Definitive OpCo upon the exchange or redemption of LLC Units and our possible utilization of certain tax attributes, the payments that Definitive Healthcare Corp. may make under the TRA will be substantial. The payments under the TRA are not conditioned upon continued ownership of us by the exchanging holders of LLC Units. See Note 17 in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures decreased by $3.0 million to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $3.8 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by higher capital expenditures in support of the Company’s growth in the prior year that did not repeat in the first quarter of 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
36
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors that we believe to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We review these estimates on a periodic basis to ensure reasonableness. Although actual amounts may differ from such estimated amounts, we believe such differences are not likely to be material. For additional detail regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates including business combinations, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and income taxes, see our discussion for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies or estimates as of March 31, 2022.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See new accounting pronouncements described under “—Adoption of Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards” and “—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted” within Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial condition due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of exposure due to potential changes in inflation, interest rates or currency rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments primarily consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments in money market funds, U.S. government securities and commercial paper. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $229.8 million and short-term investments of $109.0 million.
Our operating results are subject to market risk from interest rate fluctuations on our 2021 Term Loan, which bears a variable interest rate based on the LIBO Rate or a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. In order to reduce the interest rate risk on our debt, we have entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a portion of our borrowings. As of March 31, 2022, the total principal balance outstanding was $271.6 million. Excluding the effect of the interest rate swap agreement, a hypothetical 1.0% increase or decrease in the interest rate associated with borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement would have resulted in an impact to interest expense of approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
To date, our sales contracts have been denominated in U.S. dollars. We have one foreign entity established in Sweden and one in India. The functional currencies of these foreign subsidiaries are the Swedish Krona and the Indian Rupee, respectively. Monetary assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are re-measured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the reporting date, non-monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured at historical rates, and revenue and expenses are re-measured at average exchange rates in effect during each reporting period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded to non-operating income (loss). As the impact of foreign currency exchange rates has not been material to our historical results of operations, we have not entered into derivative or hedging transactions, but we may do so in the future if our exposure to foreign currency becomes more significant.
37
Impact of Inflation
We do not believe inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. However, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset higher costs through price increases and our inability or failure to do so could potentially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Credit Risk
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables. We hold cash with reputable financial institutions that often exceed federally insured limits. We manage our credit risk by concentrating our cash deposits with high-quality financial institutions and periodically evaluating the credit quality of those institutions. The carrying value of cash approximates fair value.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that information to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
38
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inspections, audits, or investigations that arise in the ordinary course of our business. There are inherent uncertainties in these matters, some of which are beyond management’s control, making the ultimate outcomes difficult to predict. Moreover, management’s views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop. Although the outcomes of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
For a more detailed discussion of our risks and uncertainties, see also Item 1A – Risk Factors in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in our risk factors since the filing of our 2021 Form 10-K.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Upon any such exchange, a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by the LLC Unit holder are cancelled.
On March 7, 2022, we issued to stockholders 356,380 shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exchange of the same number of LLC Units and the cancellation of the corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock.
On March 14, 2022, we issued to stockholders 175,676 shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exchange of the same number of LLC Units and the cancellation of the corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock.
