Table of Contents Compute and infrastructure expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 251% to 48% over the same period, as revenue growth outpaced the growth of our committed compute cost base. Personnel Personnel expenses increased sequentially in each of the quarters presented, driven by headcount growth and the associated increases in compensation, including stock-based compensation. Bartz settlement In the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a $1.5 billion charge to settle the Bartz litigation. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Sales, Marketing, and Partnerships Sales, marketing, and partnerships expenses increased sequentially in each of the quarters presented, with the most significant increases observed in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026. The increases were primarily driven by fees paid to channel partners, reflecting the growth of our business, and increased marketing and advertising expenses, reflecting higher media spend to support product launches. Other Operating and Administrative Other operating and administrative expenses increased over the quarters presented, other than in the three months ended March 31, 2026, which reflected lower donation matching program charges than in the three months ended December 31, 2025. The overall increase reflected vendor costs related to data quality and performance evaluation services, information technology and cloud software costs, payment processing and platform fees, and professional services costs as our business scaled. The increase in the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by non-cash charges related to our donation matching program. Operating Income (Loss) Our operating loss widened in the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by the delivery of additional committed compute under our CSP arrangements, the associated expenses of which grew faster than our revenue in the period, and in the three months ended September 30, 2025, which included the Bartz settlement. Our operating loss narrowed in the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, and we generated operating income of $1.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as revenue growth outpaced the growth in total operating expenses. We expect our operating results to continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, particularly as the amount of incremental compute we receive, and the associated expenses we incur, may vary from period to period. Interest Income Interest income increased sequentially in each of the quarters presented, from $51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $762 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by higher average cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments balances. Change in Fair Value of Convertible Notes, Derivative Liabilities, and SAFEs Changes in the fair value of our convertible notes, derivative liabilities, and SAFEs resulted in expense in each of the quarters presented, primarily driven by increases in the fair value of our outstanding convertible promissory notes resulting from increases in our enterprise valuation during each period. The expense was largest in the three months ended June 30, 2026, reflecting the increase in our enterprise valuation in connection with our Series H financing. We will continue to recognize changes in fair value until these instruments are converted into equity, repaid, or otherwise settled. See Note 4 and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. 159
