.4 million, respectively, our cash balances at September 30, 2025.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we initiated a program to hedge exposures to cash fluctuations in the British Pound and the Euro using foreign currency forward contracts. The forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for speculative or trading purposes. 

Our hedging program aims to reduce, but does not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements. We consider the counterparty to the foreign currency forward contracts to be a creditworthy multinational commercial bank, and therefore, the risk of counterparty non-performance is not material. While we strive to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risks, there is no assurance that our hedging activities will fully protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. We believe a substantial portion of any fluctuation would be offset by monetary assets maintained in local currency. 

Inflation Risk

Inflationary pressures may affect our customers’ purchasing power and budget allocations, particularly for discretionary technology spending. If our customers experience increased costs in other areas of their operations, they may delay or reduce their investment in software solutions, which could impact our sales cycle and overall demand. Furthermore, if our own costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases, and this could also adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. While we have not yet experienced a material inflationary impact on customer engagement or our own operations, we continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions closely.
