 we had significant tax attributes due to U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, and U.S. federal research and development tax credit carryforwards. In general, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an ownership change, which is generally defined as a greater than 50-percentage-point cumulative change by value in the equity ownership of certain stockholders over a rolling three-year period, is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change tax attributes to offset income tax liabilities arising from post-change taxable income. Our existing tax attributes may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes, and if we undergo an ownership change our ability to utilize these tax attributes could be further limited by Sections 382 and 383 of the Code and similar state provisions. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which may be outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. Furthermore, our ability to utilize tax attributes of companies that we may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of tax attributes, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing tax attributes could expire, decrease in value or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. 

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock and Our Status as a Public Company

Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.

Our quarterly results of operations, including the levels of our revenue, gross margin and profitability, as well as our cash flows and unearned revenue balances, may vary significantly in the future, and period-to-period comparisons of our operating results and key metrics may not be meaningful. Accordingly, the results of any one quarter should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our quarterly financial results and metrics may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control and, as a result, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. These fluctuations may negatively affect the value of our common stock. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our quarterly results include:

•our ability to attract and retain new and existing customers;

•our ability to execute on our business strategy;

•the launch of significant new products and features;

•the addition or loss of large customers, including third-party reseller customers, including through acquisitions or consolid
