INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Board of Directors
Crownpeak Intermediate Holdings, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Crownpeak Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, based upon our audits and the report of the other auditors, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We did not audit the financial statements of Crownpeak Germany GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary, whose financial statements reflect total assets constituting approximately 15% and 12%, respectively, of consolidated total assets at January 31, 2025 and 2024, and total revenues constituting approximately 27% and 25%, respectively, of consolidated total revenues for the years then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Crownpeak Germany GmbH, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. Those statements, which were prepared in accordance with German legally required accounting principles, as issued by the German Commercial Code (HGB), were audited by other auditors, whose report has been furnished to us. We have applied audit procedures on the conversion adjustments to the financial statements of Crownpeak Germany GmbH, which conform those financial statements to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Crownpeak Germany GmbH, prior to these conversion adjustments, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter – Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has $141.4 million of debt that matures on November 30, 2025, and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Managements’ evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans to mitigate this matter are also described in Note 2. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Emphasis of Matter – Correction of an Error
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the balance sheet as of January 31, 2025, has been restated to correct an error. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Board of Directors
Crownpeak Intermediate Holdings, Inc.
Independent Auditors' Report
Page 2
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
•
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
•
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
•
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
•
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(EXPRESSED IN 000’S OF U.S. DOLLARS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
Crownpeak Intermediate Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) is the holding parent company for the following subsidiaries: Crownpeak Technology, Inc., a wholly-owned Delaware corporation, (“Crownpeak”), Magus Research Limited, a wholly-owned private United Kingdom company, Evidon, Inc., a wholly-owned Delaware corporation, e-Spirit Inc., a wholly- owned Delaware corporation, Crownpeak Technology GmbH (formerly e-Spirit GmbH), a wholly- owned private German company, Ilumino, LLC, a wholly-owned Ohio corporation, Aegean Bidco Ltd., a wholly-owned private United Kingdom company that is a holding parent company for the following subsidiaries: Attraqt Group PLC, a wholly-owned private United Kingdom company, Attraqt Limited, a wholly-owned private United Kingdom company, Attraqt Inc., a wholly-owned Delaware corporation, Early Birds SAS, a wholly-owned private France company, Fredhopper B.V., a wholly-owned private Netherlands company, Spring Technologies EOOD, a wholly-owned private Bulgaria company, Fredhopper (Australia) Pty Ltd., a wholly-owned private Australia company, Fredhopper GmbH, a wholly-owned private Germany company and Fredhopper Sarl, a wholly- owned private France company. The Company offers the leading cloud-based Digital Experience Management and Digital Quality Management platforms, creating a unique market leader in the space. The Company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado with additional offices in London, United Kingdom; Dortmund, Germany; Paris, France and Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Crownpeak was founded in 2001 and is the only cloud-first Digital Experience Management (DXM) platform with a native Digital Quality Management (DQM) offering operating as a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) platform. Crownpeak is the only enterprise DXM platform purpose-built to scale efficiently with customers as they grow, simplifying the deployment, management and adherence to regulatory/policy compliance of global sites by any size team, across all digital touchpoints (e.g., desktop websites, mobile, social media). As the web content “system of record” for a diverse set of multi-billion-dollar global enterprises, the Crownpeak platform is deeply embedded in the underlying operations of its customers which, when coupled with multi- year contractual obligations, allows Crownpeak to derive highly visible and stable recurring revenue streams.
These consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, are comprised of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").
The Company has prepared these financial statements under the going concern basis of accounting following Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, which was codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40 (“ASC 205-40”).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has $141.4 million of debt outstanding on January 31, 2025 that matures on November 30, 2025. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. Management is actively addressing this uncertainty by pursuing refinancing or an extension of the Company’s outstanding debt, either with its primary lender or alternative financing sources, with the support of the Company’s principal investor. The Company believes these actions will mitigate the current uncertainty and support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Discussions with the primary lender are already underway and the Company expects to complete an amended credit agreement, including an extension of this debt. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to any potential uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

3. Basis of preparation and restatement
Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of certain accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The Group’s most significant estimates relate to impairment evaluations of intangible assets and goodwill, accounts receivable allowance for credit losses, as well as, the valuation of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance.
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the Group’s current understanding of tax laws as applied to the Group’s circumstances. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Restatement
The balance sheet as of January 31, 2025 has been restated to correct an error. The Company’s debt at January 31, 2025 totaling $133,297 was improperly shown as a non-current liability in the originally issued financial statements when it should have been classified as a current liability based upon its maturity date. The restated January 31, 2025 balance sheet corrects this error and reflects the Company’s debt as a current liability. This error correction had no impact on the results of operations or accumulated deficit. It was a reclassification from non-current liabilities to current liabilities.
4. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Subsidiaries and Principles of Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group until the date on which control ceases. The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. Inter-company transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s foreign subsidiaries utilize functional currencies other than U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities recorded for entities using other functional currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing over the period. Translation adjustments resulting from these processes are charged to or credited to other comprehensive income (loss).
Cash
Cash includes cash on hand and deposits held available on demand with financial institutions. The Company continually monitors its cash positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. Periodically during the years, the Company maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of insured limits.
Accounts Receivable, Net

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(EXPRESSED IN 000’S OF U.S. DOLLARS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not include interest and the Company generally does not require collateral. On a quarterly basis the Company reviews accounts for collectability and establishes an allowance for probable credit losses. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current credit risk rating, collection pattern of customers, as well as for changes in economic environmental conditions. The Company writes off accounts against the allowance once all efforts at collection have been exhausted.
The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024:

Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company develops internal-use software as required to support its operations. Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development stage are capitalized and reported at cost, subject to an impairment test. Application development stage costs generally include costs associated with software configuration, coding, installation and testing. Costs of significant upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality are also capitalized whereas costs incurred for maintenance and minor upgrades and enhancements are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over three years. The Company assesses the potential impairment of capitalized internal-use software whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the internal-use software may not be recoverable. As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had capitalized internal use software costs totaling $3.3 million and $4.2 million (net of accumulated amortization of $2.3 million and $0.6 million), respectively.
Fixed Assets, Net
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
|
|
|
Computer and similar equipment |
|
3 years |
Furniture and fixtures |
|
3-5 years |
Software and licences |
|
3 years |
Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.
Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill was recorded as a result of business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company does not amortize goodwill but tests it at least annually for recoverability. During the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, no impairment of goodwill was recorded.
Intangible Assets, Net
Intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Customer relationships amortization is computed over the term of expected cash flows. As the cash flows are consistent period-to-period due to the subscription nature of the services, management determined amortization of the customer relationship intangible assets using the straight-line method would approximate the cash flow approach.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its intangible assets, if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. During the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no impairment of intangible assets recorded.
Long-lived Assets
Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in events or circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. Pursuant to ASC 360, an impairment loss is to be recorded when the net book value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
If the asset is determined to be impaired, the asset is written down to its net realizable value and the loss is recognized in other income (expense) in the period when the determination is made. No impairment of long-lived assets has been recorded as of January 31, 2025 and 2024.
Revenue, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASC 606"), revenue recognition guidance which requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To do this, the Company applies the five-step model in the FASB’s guidance, which requires the Company to: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, the Company elected to apply certain of the permitted practical expedients within the revenue recognition guidance and make certain accounting policy elections including those related to significant financing components and sales taxes. The Company elected the portfolio practical expedient as it expects that revenue recognition would not differ materially from recognition of individual contracts. The Company will continue to use judgment on a go forward basis and if any of its contracts should materially change, the Company will reassess whether a portfolio approach is appropriate. Refer to Note 5 for a detailed discussion of accounting policies related to revenue recognition, including contract liabilities and contract assets.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs, which include costs incurred to develop internal-use software that do not meet the criteria under ASC 350 to be capitalized, are charged to expense as incurred and totaled $5.1 million and $7.1 million for the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Marketing Costs
The Company expenses the costs of marketing, including advertising and promotional expenses, as incurred. Marketing expense was $1.2 million and $2 million for the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic No. 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (“ASC 220”). ASC 220 establishes standards for reporting other comprehensive income (loss) and its components within a financial statement. Other comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. The Company records foreign currency translation adjustments through other comprehensive income (loss).

(EXPRESSED IN 000’S OF U.S. DOLLARS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic No. 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of events that have been included within the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized within an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition and measurement of tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification in the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has determined that there are no significant unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate.
The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which introduces additional disclosure requirements for the relevant income tax disclosures. The additional disclosures require an entity to disclose income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments should be applied prospectively. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 within its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The ASU adds an example with four fact patterns to ASC 718-10, Compensation – Stock Compensation – Overall, in order to assist preparers of financial statements in determining whether profits interest units should be accounted for within the scope of the guidance in ASC 718 or ASC 710, Compensation - General. The ASU only addresses the scope determination and does not amend the recognition or measurement guidance in either ASC 710 or ASC 718. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on February 1, 2026. The Company early adopted this ASU for the year ended January 31, 2024 and adoption had no significant impacts on the financial statements.

5.
Revenue, Deferred Revenue and Deferred Commissions
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This principle is achieved by applying the following five-step approach:
(i)
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer – A contract with a customer typically exists when the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer for the Company’s SaaS hosted services, related support services or professional services.
(ii)
Identification of the performance obligations in the contracts – Performance obligations are typically (1) access to the Company’s SaaS hosted services and SaaS service subscriptions (2) implementation services and (3) professional services.
(iii)
Determination of the transaction price – The transaction price is determined based on the consideration expected to be received in exchange for its performance obligations to the customer. Contracts generally contain fixed consideration.
(iv)
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract – Typically, the Company enters into contracts that include SaaS hosted services (and related service subscriptions), which also include implementation services. These contracts contain multiple performance obligations and require an allocation of the transaction price to each based on their relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”). In some cases, such as with usage-based advertising services, the transaction price is determined based on monthly usage (e.g., impressions) and allocated to the related performance obligation accordingly.
(v)
Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied – Revenue is recognized as the Company satisfies performance obligations. Performance obligations for the Company’s SaaS hosted services and SaaS subscription services are satisfied over the contract term. The performance obligations for implementation services and professional services are satisfied over the period the services are performed. Accordingly, revenue for these services is recognized over time. The Company also provides usage-based advertising services which are billed on a monthly basis with typical payment terms of 30 days. The Company recognizes this revenue at a point in time based upon impressions that were made during the month. This revenue is included as part of professional services revenue.
The Company also sells an on-premise product under perpetual licenses along with maintenance and support, principally in the German market. Revenue from perpetual licenses is recognized upon delivery of the license and maintenance and support is recognized ratably over the maintenance and support period. In the statement of operations license revenue is included within Professional services and other- nonrecurring and the maintenance and support is included within Subscription and support-recurring.
The Company invoices customers based upon the terms of the agreement. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue.

Payment Terms and Right of Return
Payment terms are negotiated individually with the customers and invoices are generally due within 30 days, as such there is not a significant financing component in the contracts with customers. The Company does not offer rights of return or discounts in the normal course of business.

Incremental Costs of a Contract
The Company has determined they have incremental costs of a contract for commission plans with employees. The commission plans include base commissions, quota achievement bonuses, new logo bonuses, multi-year contract bonuses and quarterly earned incentives. Commissions incurred as part of obtaining initial contracts are capitalized in accordance with ASC 340-40 “Other Assets and Deferred Costs” as contract assets and are amortized over an average customer life of 5 years. Such capitalization and amortization are applied on a portfolio basis as the portfolio approach would not be materially different than if such costs were accounted for on an individual contract basis.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received or invoices issued in accordance with the contract in advance of performance. The current portion of contract liabilities represents the amounts that are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of the consolidated balance sheet date.
Opening Balances
The opening balances of contract assets and liabilities, both current and noncurrent, as of February 1, 2023 are as follows:

Concentration of credit risk
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and accounts receivable balances are subject to credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the consolidated balance sheets. Management monitors its exposure to credit risk on an ongoing basis. Concentration of credit risk exists at times when cash balances exceed federal insurance limits.
Customer Concentration
As of and for the year ended January 31, 2025, no customers represented more than 10% of total accounts receivable and no customer represented more than 10% of total revenues. As of and for the year ended January 31, 2024, no customer represented more than 10% of total accounts receivable, and one customer represented more than 10% of total revenues.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2024 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit.

Credit Agreement
On February 28, 2019, the Company entered into a new agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC (“Monroe Capital”). This resulted in a new $60.0 million Term Loan (the “Initial Term Loan”). Proceeds were used to pay off the $40.4 million PNC Initial Term Loan and Amendments, and related accrued interest of $0.3 million, pay loan origination costs of $1.6 million, distribute $13.6 million back to K1 Investment Management, and add $4.0 million to the Company’s cash accounts. Debt issuance costs of $1.6 million were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement.
The $60.0 million Term Loan under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. Term Loan bears interest payable monthly with a variable interest rate per annum equal to SOFR Rate margin plus the greater of (i) SOFR Rate or (ii) 1.0%. The SOFR Rate margin is based on a recurring revenue leverage ratio calculation as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the interest rate was 12% and 12.6%, respectively.
The loan agreement specifies certain financial covenants that the Company must comply with. As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
The Company signed an amendment agreement (Amendment #4) with Monroe Capital on September 27, 2022 to increase the Term Loan from $60.0 million to $80 million and to increase the revolving line of credit from $2.5 to $7.5 million. The amendment also added a Second Delayed Draw Term Loan to the available credit facilities of $50.0 million to finance future acquisitions if drawn down before March 27, 2023 to finance future acquisitions. Additionally, the maturity date for all debt facilities was extended to February 28, 2025.
On April 26, 2024, the Company signed an amendment agreement (Amendment #7) to its credit agreement. As a result of this amendment, the Company made an election to change the basis for loan compliance to EBITDA instead of based on revenues. Additionally, the maturity date of the loan was extended to November 30, 2025 and the Company has agreed to pay an exit fee of $1,029, which is due on the loan's maturity date of November 30, 2025. For the year ended January 31, 2025, the Company recognized $491 in expense related to the exit fee.
On August 4, 2024, the Company signed an amendment agreement (Amendment #8) with Monroe Capital. As a result of this amendment, repayments of principal for the Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loan are no longer required each quarter and interest payments may be treated as Paid in Kind for the period August 1, 2024 to May 1, 2025. In lieu of payments, this amount will be accrued and added to principal outstanding and the interest rate will be increased by 1.00% for the related period. Paid in Kind interest amounted to $4.5 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. The loan is due in full upon maturity. The outstanding principal balance was $78.5 and $79.1 million as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(EXPRESSED IN 000’S OF U.S. DOLLARS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the borrowings against the Delayed Draw Term Loan were $50.9 million. As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the interest rate was 12% and 12.6%. The loan is due in full upon maturity.
The Company’s term debt is due in full upon maturity. The outstanding balance of all term debt (net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.6 million and $1.2 million) was $133.3 million and $130 million as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Line of Credit
There is an available $7.5 million Revolving Credit line under the amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Revolver”). The Revolver bears interest payable monthly with a variable interest rate per annum equal to the SOFR Rate Margin plus the greater of (i) SOFR Rate or (ii) 1.0%. The Revolver matures November 30, 2025.
The Company drew an additional $5.0 million on the revolving line of credit increasing the balance to $7.5 million as of January 31, 2025.
As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, there was $7.5 million and $2.5 million outstanding on the line of credit, respectively. As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was compliant with all covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement.
As of January 31, 2025 all outstanding debt totaling $141.4 million is due November 30, 2025. Management believes it will be able to successfully refinance the Company’s credit facility.
Subsequent to January 31, 2025 the Company began negotiations with the lender to modify the debt and extend the maturity date, however as of the issuance date of these financial statements no new agreement is in place.
The Company follows the lease accounting guidance under ASC 842. Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize a right–of–use asset and a corresponding lease liability for most leases. The Company is the lessee in all current lease agreements. As permitted under the new guidance, management elected to utilize and apply the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date of adopting ASC 842:
•
No need to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases
•
No need to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases
•
No need to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases
The Company has also elected the private company alternative to use the U.S. risk-free interest rate in determining the present value of lease payments when the incremental borrowing rate is not known. The lease term for all of its leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.
The Company leases its Dortmund, Muenster, Sofia, Paris, Boston, Amsterdam and London offices under operating lease agreements that are renewable on a periodic basis at both the Company’s option as well as the lessor. Rent expense under operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable lease term, taking into consideration any scheduled rent escalations and incentives. The Company did not have any finance leases as of January 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company subleased the Boston office for the year ended January 31, 2024. Sublease proceeds for the years ended January 31, 2024 were $0.3 million.
The following is a schedule by years of future minimum rental commitments for operating leases that have an initial or remaining non-cancelable lease term in excess of one year (net of sublease payments) as of January 31, 2025:

For the year ended January 31, 2024, the Company recorded $0.8 million as an impairment loss associated with the abandonment.

Management Incentive Unit Plan
In 2015, the Board approved the authorization to grant incentive units to employees through the Crownpeak Holdings, LLC 2015 Incentive Unit Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The purpose of the 2015 Plan is to incentivize certain officers, employees, managers, consultants and advisers (“2015 Plan Participants”) of the Company to promote the growth and success of the Company and its affiliates by granting, or offering opportunities to acquire, incentive units of the Company. The availability and offering of Incentive Units under the Plan are intended to enhance the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to attract and retain high-caliber managerial talent, whose contributions are critical to the Company’s sustained growth, progress, and profitability.
Incentive units represent a non–voting interest in the Company and are subordinate to all common units.
As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 25,279,277 and 40,285,188 management incentive units granted and outstanding with participation thresholds ranging from $0.95 to $1.06 per unit. Incentive unitholders are entitled to distributions from the Company after the cumulative distributions to unitholders of other specified classes of units have exceeded the participant threshold. The 2015 Plan entitles participants to participate in distributions, once the performance conditions are met or time has passed for time-based units. Granted management incentive units are generally 50% time-based and 50% performance-based vesting. The time-based management incentive units generally become vested 25% at a one-year cliff and then quarterly over four years of continued employment and expire in ten years. The performance-based management incentive units generally become vested when the Company’s majority unitholder achieves a total equity return multiple, generally a multiple of two. The Company has not made any distributions as of January 31, 2025.

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The difference between the provision for income taxes and the income tax determined by applying the statutory federal income tax of 21%, to income before taxes, is primarily due to increases in the valuation allowance and state and foreign taxes.
The net valuation allowance increased by $4.9 million and $6.3 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of January 31, 2025, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforward (“NOLS”) of approximately $107.4 million and $59.4 million, respectively. The federal NOLS begin expiring in 2025 and state NOLS begin expiring in 2028. Federal NOLS generated after December 31, 2017 totaling approximately $46.5 million can be carried forward indefinitely. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in certain situations where equity transactions result in a change of ownership as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382. In the event the Company should experience an ownership change, as defined, utilization of its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits could be limited.
As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has federal disallowed business interest carry forwards of approximately $31.4 million which can be carried forward indefinitely.
For UK tax purposes, as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had approximately $15.1 million and $17.6 million, respectively, of net operating loss carryovers which can be carried forward indefinitely.

For US federal and state tax purposes the Company’s tax returns generally remain open to examination for all prior periods due to the potential future usage of income tax credit and net operating loss carryovers to offset future taxable income prior to expiration of the tax credit and net operating loss carryovers. For the UK, the Company’s tax returns are generally open to examination for one year after the statutory filing date. For Germany, the Company’s tax returns are generally open to examination for 4 years after filing. As of January 31, 2025 the Company’s German subsidiary was undergoing tax audits for tax years 2019-2021.
