Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially and adversely different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

•the possibility that a worsening of the global COVID-19 pandemic or a new pandemic or other public health crisis may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition or that the impact of such occurrences could negatively affect the global economy or the business operations and financial conditions of our customers, their end customers and our prospective customers;

•the impact of adverse economic conditions;

•our ability to sell subscriptions to new managed service provider (“MSP”) partners, to sell additional solutions to our existing MSP partners and to increase the usage of our solutions by our existing MSP partners, as well as our ability to generate and maintain MSP partner loyalty;

•any decline in our renewal or net retention rates;

•the possibility that general economic conditions or uncertainty may cause information technology spending to be reduced or purchasing decisions to be delayed, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, actions taken by central banks to counter inflation, rising interest rates, the impact of bank failures and related financial services industry uncertainty, war and political unrest, military conflict (including between Russia and Ukraine), terrorism, sanctions or other geopolitical events globally, or that such factors may otherwise harm our business, financial condition or results of operations;
