The remainder of the change in period to period fluctuations from that which is specifically discussed arises from various individually insignificant items.
Pending Merger
OnDecember 16, 2021 , we entered into a Merger Agreement (See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) to be acquired by the private equity investment firm Thoma Bravo for$57.00 in cash per outstanding common share.

Overview
We help make complex business payments simple, smart and secure. We provide solutions that are helping to accelerate the digital transformation of business payments. Corporations and banks rely on us for domestic and international payments, efficient cash management, automated workflows for payment processing and bill review, and fraud detection, behavioral analytics and regulatory compliance solutions. We operate payment platforms that facilitate electronic payment and transaction settlement between businesses and their vendors. We offer solutions that banks use to provide payment, cash management and treasury capabilities to their business customers, as well as solutions that financial institutions use to engage intelligently with customers and acquire, deepen and grow profitable relationships. Our legal spend management solutions help determine the right amount to pay for legal services and claims for insurance companies and other large consumers of outside legal services and provide related tools and analytics for law firms themselves. Corporate customers rely on our solutions to automate payment and accounts payable processes and to streamline and manage the production and retention of electronic documents. Our fraud and risk management solutions are designed to non-invasively monitor and analyze user behavior and payment transactions to flag behavioral and data anomalies and other suspicious activity to gain protection from internal fraud and external financial crime. Our solutions are designed to complement, leverage and extend our customers' existing information systems, accounting applications and banking relationships so that the solutions can be deployed quickly and efficiently. To help our customers realize the maximum value from our products and meet their specific business requirements, we also provide professional services for training, consulting and product enhancement. Financial Highlights For the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 , our revenue increased to$384.2 million from$349.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Our revenue for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 was favorably impacted by$1.3 million due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates primarily related to the British Pound Sterling, which appreciated against theU.S. Dollar as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The overall revenue increase was attributable to revenue increases in our Payment Platforms, Banking Solutions and Legal Spend Management segments of$25.7 million ,$12.1 million , and$1.9 million , respectively, partially offset by a$5.1 million revenue decrease in our Traditional Solutions segment. The increase in revenue in our Payment Platforms and Legal Spend Management segments was driven by increased subscription revenue driven by increased transactional volumes and the impact of new customers using these solutions. The increased revenue in our Banking Solutions segment was primarily due to new customer engagements and platform go-lives, as customers continue to transition to our hosted solutions. The decrease in revenue in our Traditional Solutions segment was due to decreased professional services, maintenance revenue and software revenue, as customers transitioned to our newer hosted and subscription based solutions. We incurred a net loss of$29.1 million in the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to net loss of$9.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Our net loss for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 was driven by an increase in costs of subscription revenue of$22.9 million attributable to our Payment Platforms, Banking Solutions and Legal Spend Management segments and an increase in operating expenses of$40.9 million . The increase in operating expenses was driven by an increase in 24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sales and marketing costs of$19.3 million and product development and engineering costs of$8.4 million , as we continued to invest in our sales channel and new product innovation. General and administrative costs increased by$13.3 million , of which$8.3 million was related to our pending Merger and shareholder engagement initiatives. The increase in costs were partially offset by the$35.0 million revenue increase discussed above and a$3.9 million reduction in cost of professional services and maintenance revenues.
In the nine months ended
On periodic basis, we continue to make strategic investments in innovative new technology offerings that we believe will enhance our competitive position, help us win new business, drive subscription revenue growth and expand our operating margins. We expect to continue to make investments in our suite of products so that we can continue to offer innovative, feature-rich technology solutions to our customers. COVID-19The United States and the global communities in which we operate continue to face challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier in the fiscal year, restrictions were re-implemented by government bodies and private businesses as disease variants became more prevalent, most notably the omicron variant. There remains significant uncertainty over the duration of the pandemic itself, particularly as the virus continues to evolve. SinceMarch 2020 we have continued to suspend virtually all travel for employees, our offices generally remain closed and our employees have continued to work remotely in most geographies. While we continue to operate effectively during this challenging period, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the global economy remains uncertain. The ultimate consequences will depend on many factors outside of our control, including the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and therapeutics and the ultimate duration and severity of the pandemic itself, including the impact of the COVID variants that have emerged or that may emerge in the future.
Certain of our transactional revenue streams, specifically those arising through Paymode-X and Legal Spend Management, were the most significantly impacted during the prior fiscal year. We have continued to observe that transaction volumes for Paymode-X have continued to return to more normalized levels.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as critical because they involve areas of financial reporting that require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate and different estimates - which also would have been reasonable - could have been used. The critical accounting policies and estimates we identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedJune 30, 2021 related to revenue recognition, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of acquired deferred revenue, capitalized software costs and income taxes. There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates from those we disclosed in Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedJune 30, 2021 , as filed with theSEC onAugust 30, 2021 . It is important that the discussion of our operating results that follows be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedJune 30, 2021 , as filed with theSEC onAugust 30, 2021 .

Software Licenses
Revenues from software licenses remained relatively consistent for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

The slight decrease in interest expense in the three and nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 as compared to the three and nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 , respectively, is a result of a decrease in borrowings under our line of credit arrangement during the three and nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 as compared to the three and nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The increase in other income in the three and nine month period endedMarch 31, 2022 is due to a$2.5 million unrealized gain on an equity investment we hold. Provision for Income Taxes We recorded an income tax provision of$0.1 million and$1.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recorded an income tax provision of$3.1 million and$4.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Please refer to Note 9 Income Taxes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are party to a credit agreement withBank of America, N.A . and certain other lenders that provides for a credit facility in the amount of up to$300 million (the Credit Facility). We have the right to request an increase to the aggregate commitments to the Credit Facility of up to an additional$150 million , subject to specified conditions. The Credit Facility expires inJuly 2023 . AtMarch 31, 2022 , borrowings were$130 million and we were in compliance with all covenants. We have financed our operations primarily from cash provided by operating activities, the sale of our common stock and debt proceeds. We have consistently generated positive operating cash flows. We believe that the cash generated from our operations and the cash and cash equivalents we have on hand will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for the foreseeable future. If our existing cash resources along with cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our operating requirements, we may need to sell additional equity or debt securities or seek other financing arrangements. One of our financial goals is to maintain and improve our capital structure. The key metrics we focus on in assessing the strength of our liquidity for the periods endedMarch 31, 2022 andJune 30, 2021 and a summary of our cash activity for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021 are summarized in the tables below: March 31, June 30, 2022 2021 (in thousands) Cash and cash equivalents$ 117,605 $ 133,932 Marketable securities 964 10,216 Borrowings under credit facility 130,000 130,000 31

Table of Contents Nine Months EndedMarch 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands)
Cash provided by operating activities$ 63,250 $ 61,397 Cash used in investing activities (35,088) (75,472) Cash used in financing activities (45,240) (56,166) Effect of exchange rates on cash (2,278) 5,849 Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. AtMarch 31, 2022 , our cash and cash equivalents of$117.6 million consisted primarily of cash deposits held at major banks and money market funds. The$16.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents atMarch 31, 2022 fromJune 30, 2021 was primarily due to cash used to repurchase common stock of$50.0 million , to fund capital expenditures, including capitalization of software costs of$29.2 million , to fund business and asset acquisitions, net of cash acquired of$15.1 million , partially offset by cash generated from operations of$63.3 million , proceeds from the sale of available for sale securities of$10.1 million and proceeds from our employee stock purchase plan of$4.8 million . Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities included approximately$72.3 million held by our foreign subsidiaries as ofMarch 31, 2022 . We continue to permanently reinvest the earnings, if any, of our international subsidiaries other than theUK ,Switzerland andIndia ; therefore we do not provide forU.S. income taxes that could result from the distribution of foreign earnings from our international subsidiaries other than the aforementioned. If our reinvestment plans were to change based on future events and we decided to repatriate amounts from other international subsidiaries, those amounts would generally become subject to state tax in theU.S. to the extent there were cumulative profits in the foreign subsidiary from which the distribution to theU.S. was made and we could be further subject to withholding tax. Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other thanU.S. Dollars. Decreases primarily in the foreign currency exchange rate of the British Pound Sterling to theU.S. Dollar decreased our overall cash balances by approximately$2.3 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Further changes in the foreign currency exchange rates of the British Pound Sterling and other currencies could have a significant effect on our overall cash balances, however, we continue to believe that our existing cash balances, even in light of the foreign currency volatility we frequently experience, are adequate to meet our operating requirements for the foreseeable future. AtMarch 31, 2022 , our deferred tax assets have been fully reserved since, given the available evidence, it was deemed more likely than not that these deferred tax assets would not be realized. Operating Activities. Operating cash flow is derived by adjusting our net income or loss for non-cash operating items, such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation plan expense, deferred income tax benefits or expenses and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which reflect timing differences between the receipt and payment of cash associated with transactions and when they are recognized in our results of operations. Cash generated from operations increased by$1.9 million in the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to an increase in cash provided by changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses of$10.0 million , prepaid and current assets of$2.3 million and other assets of$4.4 million , deferred revenue of$4.0 million , partially offset by the increase in our net loss for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 of$20.1 million . Investing Activities. Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized software costs, investment purchases and sales, and cash used for the acquisition of businesses and assets. The$40.4 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was primarily due to a decrease in cash used to fund business and asset acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of$26.2 million and notes receivable of$2.6 million , a decrease in cash used to purchase available for sale securities of$9.3 million and to purchase other investments of$7.0 million , partially offset by an increase in cash used to fund capital expenditures, inclusive of software costs of$4.9 million . Financing Activities. Financing cash flows consist primarily of cash inflows as a result of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock through employee equity incentive plans, offset by repurchases of our common stock. The decrease in cash used in financing activities of$10.9 million was due to a decrease in cash used to repay debt of$50.0 million , offset by an increase in cash used to repurchase common stock of$39.2 million during the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 .
Contractual Obligations
During the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 , we entered into new facility leases inIndia and renewed leases for data centers in the US,UK andSwitzerland , increasing our contractual obligations by$6.2 million . Other than these new leases, there have been no other material changes to the contractual obligations from that which was disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedJune 30, 2021 , as filed with theSEC onAugust 30, 2021 . 32

Our estimate of unrecognized tax benefits for which cash settlement may be required is$2.4 million . As ofMarch 31, 2022 , we are unable to estimate the timing of future cash outflows, if any, associated with these liabilities as we do not currently anticipate settling any of these tax positions with cash payment in the foreseeable future.
