 have faced and may continue to face challenges in accurately forecasting demand for travel and travel management services as a result. To maintain growth in our business, we need to, among other things, continue development and implementation of Navan Cognition and related AI features and functionalities, increase adoption and market acceptance of our offerings beyond travel, develop and increase adoption of additional offerings, compete effectively against larger and more established market participants as well as newer entrants, successfully execute our go-to-market strategies, address an increasing portion of the unmanaged travel market, and maintain or improve our relationships with suppliers, including commission rates.

Our growth has also been and may continue to be negatively impacted as our customers, particularly customers with whom we have historically high adoption or expansion rates, do not increase or decrease headcount, reduce T&E budgets or otherwise increase scrutiny over IT spending for any reason, including due to macroeconomic uncertainty. Over the last few years, adoption of remote work models has also become widespread, initially as a matter of necessity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and more recently as a matter of company policy in light of evolving perspectives on the need and desire for full-time in-person workforces.

We have also encountered, and will continue to encounter, the risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries. For example, we are required to manage multiple relationships with various suppliers, payment or expense service partners, other partners, customers, and other third parties. In the event of further growth of our operations or in the number of our third-party relationships, including in connection with acquisitions of complementary businesses and companies, our computer systems, procedures, or internal controls may not be adequate to support our operations, we encounter further difficulties and delays in integrating acquired businesses and companies (including into our controls environment), and our management may not be able to manage such growth effectively. The growth and expansion of our business and platform places a significant strain on our management and our administrative, operational, and
