LOGILITY SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Unaudited
October 31, 2024
A. Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ("condensed consolidated financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at October 31, 2024, results of operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s results for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 (the "Annual Report"). The terms “fiscal 2025” and “fiscal 2024” refer to our fiscal years ending April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Annual Report describes the significant accounting policies that we have used in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue reserves and allowances. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Logility Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as "American Software, Inc. until October 1, 2024 and, referred to herein as “Logility Supply Chain Solutions" or the "Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In September 2023, we disposed of our 100% equity interest in our information technology staffing firm, The Proven Method ("TPM") for approximately $2.1 million in cash. For further information regarding the transaction, see Note F to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification of Class B Common Stock
On August 20, 2024, the Company consummated the previously announced reclassification (the “Reclassification”) of the Company’s common stock to eliminate its Class B Common Stock. In connection with the Reclassification, the Company issued 2,185,904 shares of Class A Common Stock to James C. Edenfield, the beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Class B Shares (the “Class B Shareholder”), pursuant to that certain Reclassification Agreement, dated April 10, 2024 (the “Reclassification Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Class B Shareholder. Pursuant to the Reclassification Agreement, the Company amended and restated its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Second Amended and Restated Articles”), which the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia on August 21, 2024 (the “Effective Time”) to give effect to the Reclassification and the other amendments approved by the Registrant’s shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held on August 20, 2024. Following the Effective Time, each share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was reclassified, exchanged and converted into 1.2 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (formerly known, after giving effect to the Second Amended and Restated Articles, as Class A Common Stock and, referred to herein as "Common Stock" or "Class A Common Stock"). The shares issued to the Class B Shareholder were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, net (loss) earnings per share attributable to common stockholders was reduced by the excess of the fair value of the common shares issued over the carrying amount of the Class B shares
surrendered. For further information regarding this transaction, see Note D to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2023-07 — In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources.

The Company will begin providing the enhanced reportable segment financial disclosures effective with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending April 30, 2025.
ASU 2023-09 — In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
B. Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), we recognize revenue when we transfer control of the promised goods or services to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive, in exchange for those goods or services. We derive our revenue from Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”), licenses, professional services and other and maintenance.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the following steps:
Step 1 - Identification of the Contract with the Client
Step 2 - Identification of Promised Goods and Services and Evaluation of Whether the Promised Goods and Services are Distinct Performance Obligations
Step 3 - Determination of the Transaction Price
Step 4 - Allocation of the Transaction Price to Distinct Performance Obligations
Step 5 - Attribution of Revenue for Each Distinct Performance Obligation
Nature of Products and Services
Subscription. Subscription fees include SaaS revenue for the right to use the software for a limited period of time in an environment hosted by the Company or by a third-party. The client accesses and uses the software on an as-needed basis over the Internet or via a dedicated line; however, the client has no right to take delivery of the software. The underlying arrangements typically include a single fee for the service that is billed monthly, quarterly or annually. The Company’s SaaS solutions represent a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the client. Revenue from a SaaS solution is generally recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.
License. Our perpetual software licenses provide the client with a right to use the software as it exists at the time of purchase. We recognize revenue for distinct software licenses once the license period has begun and we have made the software available to the client. Our perpetual software licenses are sold with maintenance under which we provide clients with telephone consulting, product updates on a when available basis, and releases of new versions of products previously purchased by the client, as well as error reporting and correction services.
Professional Services and Other. Our services revenue consists of fees generated from consulting, implementation and training services, including reimbursements of out-pocket expenses in connection with our services. Services are typically optional to our clients, and are distinct from our software. Fees for our services are separately priced and are generally billed in arrears on an hourly basis, and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. We believe the output method of hours worked provides the best depiction of the transfer of our services since the client is receiving the benefit from our services as the work is performed. The total amount of expense reimbursement included in professional services and other revenue was immaterial for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023.
Maintenance. Revenue is derived from maintenance under which we provide clients with telephone consulting, product updates and releases of new versions of products previously purchased by the client on a when and-if-available basis, as well as error reporting and correction services. Maintenance for perpetual licenses is renewable, generally on an annual basis, at the option of the client. Maintenance terms typically range from one to three years. Revenue related to maintenance is generally paid in advance and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement since the Company is standing ready to provide a series of maintenance services that are substantially the same each period over the term; therefore, time is the best measure of progress. Support services for subscriptions are included in the subscription fees and are recognized as a component of such fees.
Indirect Channel Revenue. We record revenue from sales made through the indirect sales channels on a gross basis, because we control the goods or services and act as the principal in the transaction. In reaching this determination, we evaluated sales through our indirect channel on a case-by-case basis and considered a number of factors including indicators of control such as the party having the primary responsibility to provide specified goods or services and the party having discretion in establishing prices.
Sales Taxes. We account for sales taxes collected from clients on a net basis.
Contract Balances. Timing of invoicing to clients may differ from timing of revenue recognition and these timing differences result in unbilled accounts receivables or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). Fees for our software licenses are generally due within 30 days of contract execution. We have an established history of collecting under the terms of our software license contracts without providing refunds or concessions to our clients. SaaS solutions and maintenance are typically billed in advance on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Services are typically billed as performed. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide clients with predictable ways to purchase our software and services, not to provide or receive financing. Additionally, we are applying the practical expedient to exclude any financing component from consideration for any contracts with payment terms of one year or less since we rarely offer terms extending beyond one year. The consideration in our client contracts is fixed.
We have an unconditional right to consideration for all goods and services transferred to our clients. That unconditional right to consideration is reflected in billed and unbilled accounts receivable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) in accordance with Topic 606.
Deferred revenue consists of amounts collected prior to having completed the performance of maintenance, SaaS, hosting, and managed services. We typically invoice clients for cloud subscription and support fees in advance on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, with payment due at the start of the cloud subscription or support term. During the six months ended October 31, 2024, we recognized $33.5 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of April 30, 2024.

Deferred revenue | $ | 38,057 | | | $ | 47,621 | |
Remaining Performance Obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the client and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the client. The Company identifies and tracks the performance obligations at contract inception so that the Company can monitor and account for the performance obligations over the life of the contract. Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders for which products have not been delivered or services have not been performed. As of October 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $120.0 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 52% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter.
Disaggregated Revenue. The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with clients by geography, as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
The Company’s revenue by geography is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended October 31, | | Six Months Ended October 31, |
2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
(in thousands) | | (in thousands) |
Revenues: | | | | | | | |
Domestic | $ | 19,792 | | | $ | 20,058 | | | $ | 40,284 | | | $ | 40,606 | |
International | 5,494 | | | 5,632 | | | 11,194 | | | 10,985 | |
| $ | 25,286 | | | $ | 25,690 | | | $ | 51,478 | | | $ | 51,591 | |
Contract Costs. The Company capitalizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a client if the Company expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a client that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, a sales commission). The Company capitalizes the costs incurred to fulfill a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:
•The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Company can specifically identify.
•The costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future.
•The costs are expected to be recovered.
Certain sales commissions incurred by the Company were determined to be incremental costs to obtain the related contracts, which are deferred and amortized ratably over the economic benefit period. These deferred commission costs are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the expense. The current and non-current portions of deferred commissions are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). Total deferred commissions at October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024 were $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Amortization of sales commissions was $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended 2023, respectively, which is included in "Sales and marketing" expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. No impairment losses were recognized during the periods.
C. Declaration of Dividend Payable
On August 23, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share of our Common Stock. The cash dividend became payable on November 29, 2024 to our shareholders of record at the close of business on November 15, 2024.
D. (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share
Prior to the Reclassification discussed in Note A, the Company had two classes of common stock. As a result, the Company computed the (loss) earnings per share in compliance with the Earnings Per Share Topic of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires companies that have multiple classes of participating equity securities to use the “two-class” method in computing (loss) earnings per share.
Basic (loss) earnings per share are calculated by dividing net (loss) earnings attributable to each class of common stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. All undistributed losses or earnings are allocated evenly between Class A and B common shares in the (loss) earnings per share calculation to the extent that earnings equal or exceed $0.05 per share.
Diluted (loss) earnings per share is calculated similarly to basic (loss) earnings per share, except that the calculation is adjusted to give effect to dilutive elements including stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") issuable under the Company's stock incentive plans. Diluted (loss) earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the Company’s diluted (loss) earnings per share calculation for common shares, the Company uses the “if-converted” method. This calculation assumes that all Class B common shares are converted into Class A common shares and, as a result, assumes there are no holders of Class B common shares to participate in undistributed earnings.
Prior to the Reclassification, the Company used the “two-class” method for the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation for Class B shares. This calculation does not assume that all Class B common shares are converted into Class A common shares. In addition, this method assumes the dilutive effect of Class A stock options and RSUs were converted to Class A shares and the undistributed earnings are allocated evenly to both Class A and B shares including Class A shares issued pursuant to those converted stock options. This allocation is based on management’s judgment after considering the dividend
rights of the two-classes of common stock, the control of the Class B shareholder and the convertibility rights of the Class B shares into Class A shares.
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, and as related to the Reclassification Agreement discussed in Note A, the $3.8 million difference between the fair value of the common shares issued and the carrying value of the Class B shares surrendered was included as a reduction to the numerator in calculating the net (loss) earnings attributable to common stockholders.
The following tables set forth the computation of basic (loss) earnings per common share and diluted (loss) earnings per common share (in thousands except for per share amounts):

*Amounts adjusted for rounding
For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 we excluded options to purchase 6,769,980 and 6,540,904 Common Shares, and 83,587 RSUs, respectively, and for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023 we excluded options to purchase 6,282,441 and 6,041,068 Common Shares, respectively. We excluded these options because the exercise prices of those options were greater than the average market price of the Common Shares during the applicable period. As of October 31, 2024, we had a total of 6,931,800 options outstanding and as of October 31, 2023, we had a total of 6,569,004 options outstanding. As of October 31, 2024, we had a total of 83,587 RSUs outstanding and as of October 31, 2023, we had a total of 95,411 RSUs outstanding.
E. Acquisitions
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based upon management’s estimates of current fair values as of the acquisition date. The estimation process includes analyses based on income and market approaches. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill generated is due in part to the synergies that are not included in the fair value of identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill recorded in an acquisition is assigned to applicable reporting units based on expected revenues. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Amortization of current technology is recorded in cost of revenue-subscription fees and amortization of all other intangible assets is recorded in amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Acquisition-related costs, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other costs, are expensed in general and administrative expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
Effective September 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Garvis Purchase Agreement”) with privately-held Garvis AI Limited, a private limited company organized and registered under the laws of England and Wales (“Garvis”). Pursuant to the Garvis Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Garvis, a visionary SaaS startup that can combine a large language model-based AI interface (e.g. ChatGPT) with AI-native demand forecasting.
Garvis designed an AI-first forecasting solution, now called Demand AI+, from the ground up. When combined with Generative AI, DemandAI+ creates a modern, more inclusive, and intuitive planning paradigm that quickly digitizes supply chain relationships and exposes that data to any stakeholder across the organization. By simply asking questions planners, executives, and non-planners alike get answers to unanticipated queries in real-time, providing transparency for more informed decisions that saves precious planning time. Demand AI+, built for the cloud, will be embedded into the Logility Digital Supply Chain Platform. The combined solutions will enable a new supply chain planning paradigm with DemandAI+ that moves beyond conventional methods to plan demand and inventory at the speed of the market.
Under the terms of the Garvis Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the capital stock for cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired, of approximately $25.0 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company incurred acquisition costs of $0 during the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and $337,000 during the three and six months ended October 31, 2023, respectively. The operating results of Garvis are not material for proforma disclosure. The Company allocated $16.2 million of the total purchase price to goodwill, which has been assigned to the Supply Chain Management segment and is not deductible for income tax purposes.
The following allocation of the total purchase price reflects the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of September 5, 2023 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Useful Life |
Cash | 67 | | | |
Accounts receivable, net | 352 | | | |
Current assets | 47 | | | |
Property and equipment, net | 27 | | | |
Goodwill | 16,224 | | | |
Non-compete | 2,000 | | | 3 years |
Current technology | 9,000 | | | 5 years |
Total assets acquired | 27,717 | | | |
Current liabilities | (617) | | | |
Long-term liabilities | (1,992) | | | |
Total liabilities assumed | $ | (2,609) | | | |
Net assets acquired | $ | 25,108 | | | |
Current technology and non-compete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated economic life of the assets, including the period being reported.
F. Divestitures
Discontinued Operations
On September 18, 2023, the Company disposed of its 100% equity interest in its information technology staffing firm, TPM to Marathon TS, Inc., an IT professional services firm for approximately $2.1 million in cash, of which $200,000 is held in escrow. The amounts held in escrow are limited to claims arising out of or relating to any pre-closing taxes. Any escrow amounts that are not subject to then outstanding indemnification claims shall be released to the Company in equal $100,000 increments on the 24 and 36 month anniversary of the transaction closing date and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) as of October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024. There have not been any submitted, or expected, indemnification claims against these escrowed funds. This transaction enables us to focus on our core supply chain planning business allowing Logility to continue to expand its AI-first supply chain management platform.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, the results of TPM are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited), Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) and in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. TPM was previously reported in the former IT Consulting segment, which consisted entirely of TPM.
The following is selected financial information included in Earnings from discontinued operations for TPM:

G. Stock-Based Compensation
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors awarded RSUs to independent directors not employed by the Company that will vest, and shares of Class A common stock will be issued, on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. In addition, stock option grants for employees and contractors for Class A common shares were issued, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended October 31, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
Awards granted: | | | |
Options | 1,311,000 | | | 1,460,000 | |
RSUs | 83,587 | | | 95,411 | |
Total awards granted | 1,394,587 | | | 1,555,411 | |
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of each RSU award is estimated on the date of grant using the fair value method. The forfeiture rates are estimated using historical data. We recorded total compensation cost related to stock options of approximately $1.4 million and $1.3 million, and income tax expense of approximately $138,000 and $0 from option expirations during the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded compensation cost related to RSUs of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We recorded total compensation cost related to stock options of approximately $2.6 million and $2.7 million, and income tax expense of approximately $556,000 and $0 from option expirations during the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded compensation cost related to RSUs of approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We record stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period directly to additional paid-in capital.
During the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, we issued 0 and 22,253 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, resulting from the exercise of stock options. During the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, we issued 95,613 and 0 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, resulting from the vesting of RSUs. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 based on market value at the exercise dates was approximately $0 and $40,000, respectively. The total intrinsic value of RSUs released during the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 based on market value at the exercise dates was approximately $1.1 million and $0, respectively. As of October 31, 2024, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option and RSU awards approximated $14.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 1.70 years.
H. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We measure our investments based on a fair value hierarchy disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. A number of factors affect market price observability, including the type of asset or liability and its characteristics. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
•Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
•Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The following is a general description of the valuation methodologies we use for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Cash Equivalents—Cash equivalents include investments in government obligation based money-market funds, other money market instruments and interest-bearing deposits with initial terms of three months or less. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates its carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Marketable Securities—Marketable securities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded equity securities and equity index funds, and most U.S. government debt securities, as these securities all have quoted prices in active markets. Marketable securities utilizing Level 2 inputs include municipal bonds. We value these securities using market-corroborated pricing or other models that use observable inputs such as yield curves.
The following tables present our assets and liabilities that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we used to determine such fair value (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| October 31, 2024 |

I. Stock Repurchases
On August 19, 2002, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 2.0 million shares of our Class A common stock. We made these repurchases through open market purchases at prevailing market prices. We have completed our repurchase of 2.0 million shares of Class A common stock at a cost of approximately $16.4 million, which had no impact on fiscal 2025. As of October 31, 2024, under all repurchase plans previously authorized, including this most recent plan, we have repurchased a total of 5,534,953 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $35.8 million.
J. Comprehensive Income
We have not included Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements since comprehensive income and net earnings presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations would be substantially the same.
K. Industry Segments
FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of a public entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”), or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our CODMs are our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer. While our CODMs are apprised of a variety of financial metrics and information, we manage our business primarily on a segment basis, with the CODMs evaluating performance based upon segment operating profit or loss that includes an allocation of common expenses, but excludes certain unallocated corporate expenses, which are included in the Other segment. Our CODMs review the operating results of our two segments, assess performance and allocate resources in a manner that is consistent with the changing market dynamics that we have experienced. The two operating segments are: (1) Supply Chain Management (“SCM”) and (2) Other.
The SCM segment leverages a single platform spanning seven supply chain process areas, including product, demand, inventory, supply, deploy, integrated business planning and supply chain data management. The Other segment consists of (i) legacy enterprise resource planning software ("ERP"), which provides purchasing and materials management, client order processing, financial, e-commerce and traditional manufacturing solutions, and (ii) unallocated corporate overhead expenses.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company changed the structure of its internal organization to accelerate the execution of its strategy, including strengthening the Company’s ability to deliver strong financial performance, drive growth in its SCM service offerings, meet changing customer demands in supply chain networks, achieve cost savings and enable strategic innovation across the Company’s SCM businesses. The result of this change was that the operating results related to the Company's former subsidiary New Generation Computing's legacy enterprise resource planning business was repositioned out of the SCM segment and into the Other segment. Certain prior year amounts have been recast to conform to fiscal 2025 presentation. Furthermore, this change had no effect on our previously reported consolidated financial position or results of operations.
All of our revenue is derived from external clients. We do not have any inter-segment revenue. Our income taxes and dividends are paid at a consolidated level. Consequently, it is not practical to show these items by operating segment.
The following table sets forth certain financial information from continuing operations attributable to the Company's business segments for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

L. Major Clients
No single client accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023. One client accounted for 14% of Trade accounts receivable as of October 31, 2024. No single client accounted for more than 10% of Trade accounts receivable as of April 30, 2024.
M. Contingencies
More often than not, the Company indemnifies its clients against damages and costs resulting from third-party claims of intellectual property infringement associated with use of the Company’s products. The Company historically has not been required to make any payments under such indemnification obligations. However, the Company continues to monitor the circumstances that are subject to indemnification to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and would recognize any such losses under such indemnification obligations when they are estimable.
In addition, the Company warrants to clients that the Company’s products operate substantially in accordance with the software product’s specifications. Historically, no costs have been incurred related to software product warranties and none are expected in the future, and as such no accruals for software product warranty costs have been made. Additionally, the Company is involved in various claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
N. Subsequent Events
On November 20, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share of our common stock. The cash dividend is payable on February 21, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 7, 2025.

We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. We discuss certain factors in greater detail in “Business Overview” below.
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
In October 2024, the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) provided an update to the World Economic Outlook for 2024. The update noted that, “Global growth is expected to remain stable yet underwhelming. However, notable revisions have taken place beneath the surface since April 2024, with upgrades to the forecast for the United States offsetting downgrades to those for other advanced economies, in particular, the largest European countries. Likewise, in emerging market and developing economies, disruptions to production and shipping of commodities—especially oil—conflicts, civil unrest, and extreme weather events have led to downward revisions to the outlook for the Middle East and Central Asia and that for sub-Saharan Africa. These have been compensated for by upgrades to the forecast for emerging Asia, where surging demand for semiconductors and electronics, driven by significant investments in artificial intelligence, has bolstered growth, a trend supported by substantial public investment in China and India. Five years from now, global growth should reach 3.1 percent—a mediocre performance compared with the prepandemic average.
As global disinflation continues, services price inflation remains elevated in many regions, pointing to the importance of understanding sectoral dynamics and of calibrating monetary policy accordingly, as discussed in Chapter 2. With cyclical imbalances in the global economy waning, near-term policy priorities should be carefully calibrated to ensure a smooth landing. At the same time, structural reforms are necessary to lift medium-term growth prospects, while support for the most vulnerable should be maintained. Chapter 3 discusses strategies to enhance the social acceptability of these reforms—a crucial prerequisite for successful implementation."
For fiscal 2025, we believe that the important nature of our software, combined with a challenging global macro-economic environment from increased global disruptions on companies’ supply chains will require them to improve productivity and profitability by upgrading their technology systems, which may result in an improved selling environment. Although this improvement could slow or regress at any time, due in part to the effects of a possible recession and trade
conflicts on global capital markets, we believe that our organizational and financial structure will enable us to take advantage of any sustained economic rebound. That said, the current business climate within the United States and geographic regions in which we operate may affect clients’ and prospects' decisions regarding timing of strategic capital expenditures by taking longer periods to evaluate discretionary software purchases.
Corporate capital spending trends and commitments are the primary determinants of the size of the market for business software. Corporate capital spending is, in turn, a function of general economic conditions in the United States and abroad and in particular may be affected by conditions in U.S. and global credit markets. In recent years, the weakness in the overall global economy and the U.S. economy has resulted in reduced expenditures in the business software market.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Logility Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as American Software, Inc. until October 1, 2024 and referred to herein as "Logility Supply Chain Solutions" or the "Company"), was incorporated in Georgia in 1970. The Company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia with another U.S. office in Miami; and international offices in Belgium, the United Kingdom, India, Germany, New Zealand and Australia.
We provide our software and services solutions through two major operating segments: (1) Supply Chain Management and (2) Other. The SCM software business is our core market. We continue to provide limited services to our legacy ERP clients included in the Other segment.
Logility Supply Chain Solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary and operating entity Logility, Inc ("Logility"), delivers prescriptive demand, inventory, manufacturing, and supply planning tools – helping to provide executives the confidence and control to increase margins and service levels, while delivering sustainable supply chains. Designed for speed and agility, Logility's SaaS cloud-based platform provides an innovative blend of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and predictive analytics to help deliver integrated planning and operations across the end-to-end supply chain.

Quadrant Knowledge Solutions also positioned Logility as a leader in their SPARK Matrix report for Global Supply Chain Inventory Optimization 2024. We believe our platform is rated highly due to our flexible advanced analytics, underlying SaaS architecture, ease of integration with third-party systems, lower total cost of ownership relative to competitors and the broad scope of supply chain planning functions supported.
Logility is also a leader in multiple IDC MarketScape reports including; the September 2022 report IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Holistic Supply Chain Planning 2022 Vendor Assessment; the September 2022 report IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Demand Planning 2022 Vendor Assessment; the September 2022 report IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Sales and Operations Planning 2022 Vendor Assessment; and the September 2022 report IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Inventory Optimization 2022 Vendor Assessment. Logility was also named as a Major Player in the September 2022 IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Holistic Supply Planning 2022 Vendor Assessment.
We serve approximately 550 clients located in approximately 80 countries, largely concentrated within key vertical markets including apparel and other soft goods, food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, consumer durable goods,
wholesale distribution, specialty chemical and other process manufacturing. Our solutions are marketed and sold through a direct sales team as well as an indirect global value-added reseller (“VAR”) distribution network. Our solutions may be deployed in the cloud or with existing on-premise clients who may require additional components. We further support our clients with an array of consulting, implementation, operational and training services as well as technical support and hosting.
We derive revenue from four sources: subscriptions, licenses, professional and other services, and maintenance. We generally determine SaaS subscription and software license fees based on the breadth of functionality and number of users and/or divisions. Professional services and other revenues consist primarily of fees from software implementation, training, and consulting services. We bill for professional services primarily under time and materials arrangements and recognize revenue as we perform services. Subscription agreements typically are for a three-to five-year term, are noncancelable and are billed in advance on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Maintenance agreements are typically for a one-to three-year term and are billed in advance, generally on an annual basis. Subscription and maintenance revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. Deferred revenues represent advance payments or fees for subscriptions, software licenses, services and maintenance billed in advance of the time we recognize the related revenue.
We currently view the following factors as the primary opportunities and risks associated with our business:
•Acquisition Opportunities. There are opportunities for selective acquisitions or investments to expand our sales distribution channels and/or broaden our product offering by providing additional solutions for our target markets.
•Dependence on Capital Spending Patterns. There is risk associated with our dependence on the capital spending patterns of U.S. and international businesses, which in turn are functions of economic trends and conditions over which we have no control.
•Acquisition Risks. There are risks associated with acquisitions of complementary companies, products and technologies, including the risks that we will not achieve the financial and strategic goals that we contemplate at the time of the transaction. More specifically, in any acquisition, we will face risks and challenges associated with the uncertain value of the acquired business or assets, the difficulty of assimilating operations and personnel, integrating acquired technologies and products and maintaining the loyalty of the clients of the acquired business.
•Competitive Technologies. There is a risk that our competitors may develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.
•Competition in General. There are risks inherent in the market for business application software and related services, which has been and continues to be intensely competitive; for example, some of our competitors may become more aggressive with their prices and/or payment terms, which may adversely affect our profit margins.
A discussion of a number of additional risk factors associated with our business is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 (the "Annual Report"). Additional information and other factors that could affect future financial results may be included, from time to time, in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

For the three months ended October 31, 2024, revenue decreased by 2% when compared to the same period last year, which was attributable primarily to a 68% decrease in license fees, a 13% decrease in maintenance revenue, a 10% decrease in professional services and other revenue, partially offset by a 9% increase in subscription revenue.
For the six months ended October 31, 2024, revenue remained flat when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an 8% increase in subscription revenue, offset by a 39% decrease in license fees, a 12% decrease in maintenance revenue and a 3% decrease in professional services and other revenue.
Due to intense competition in our industry, we sometimes discount SaaS and license fees from our published list price. Numerous factors contribute to the amount of the discount provided, such as previous client purchases, the number of client sites utilizing the software, the number of components purchased and the number of users, as well as the overall size of the contract. While all these factors may affect the discount amount of a particular contract, the overall percentage discount has not materially changed in the recent reported fiscal periods.
The change in our revenue from period to period is primarily due to the volume of products and related services sold in any period and the number of products or modules purchased with each sale.
International revenue is generally denominated in U.S dollars and approximately 22% of total revenue for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 compared to 22% and 21% for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023, respectively. Our revenue, particularly our international revenue, may fluctuate substantially from period to period, primarily because we derive most of our license and subscription fee revenue from a relatively small number of clients in a given period.

Total subscription fees revenue | $ | 29,313 | | | $ | 27,121 | | | 8 | % |
| | | | | |
For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, subscription fees revenue increased 9% and 8%, respectively when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in the number of contracts, including contracts with
a higher cloud services annual contract value, as well as an increase in multi-year contracts. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, our SCM segment constituted nearly 100% of total subscription fee revenue.
The direct sales channel provided 100% of subscription revenues for both the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, due to expanding user licenses and products.
For the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 our gross margins after removing commission expense on direct sales were approximately 94% and 93%, respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 our gross margins after removing commission expense on direct sales were approximately 94% and 91%, respectively. Gross margins are directly related to the mix of sales commission rates based on each individual salesperson’s quotas and related achievement.
For the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, our gross margins after removing commission expense on indirect sales were approximately 67% and 51%, respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, our gross margins after removing commission expense on indirect sales were approximately 62% and 54%, respectively. The indirect channel gross margins increased for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the mix of VAR commission rates. These gross margin calculations include only commission expense for comparative purposes and do not include other costs of license fees such as amortization of capitalized software.

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, license fee revenue decreased 68% and 39%, respectively when compared to the same periods in the prior year, which is attributable to the timing of purchases and the trend of on-premise clients moving to SaaS. The majority of our current license fee revenue is generated from additional users and expanded scope from our existing on-premise clients, as the market and we have moved away from on-premise licensed software. For both the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, our SCM segment constituted 100% of total license fee revenue. For the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, our SCM segment constituted 95% and 97%, respectively, of total license fee revenue.

Total professional services and other revenue | $ | 7,487 | | | $ | 7,689 | | (3) | % |
| | | | |
For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, professional services and other revenue decreased by 10% and 3%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to lower professional services and other revenue derived from our SCM segment. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, our SCM segment’s revenue decreased 10% and 2%, respectively when compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to decreased bookings in recent quarters resulting in decreased project work and outsourcing of some services to systems integrators. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, our Other segment’s revenue decreased 10% and 11%, respectively when compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to the timing of project work with existing clients. We have observed that there is a tendency for services and other revenue to lag changes in license and subscription revenue by one to three quarters, as new licenses and subscriptions in one quarter often involve implementation and consulting services in subsequent quarters, for which we recognize revenue only as we perform those services.

| | | | | |
For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, maintenance revenue decreased 13% and 12%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year, mainly due to our SCM segment. Our SCM maintenance revenue decreased 13% and 12%, respectively for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, when compared to the same periods last year due to normal client attrition, partially due to the divestiture of the Transportation group in November 2023 and clients converting from on-premise support to our SaaS cloud platform. The SCM segment accounted for 94% of total maintenance revenue for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023. Our Other segment revenue decreased 9% and 8%, respectively for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 when compared to the same periods last year, due to a decline in sales of on-premise licenses and lower renewals on maintenance contracts due to clients converting from on-premise support to our SaaS cloud platform, leading to a decrease in maintenance revenue.

For both the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, our total gross margin percentage increased by 1%, when compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to higher margins on license fees.
Gross Margin on Subscription Fees
For the three months ended October 31, 2024, our gross margin percentage on subscription fees revenue slightly increased from 66% to 68%, when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased subscription revenue, as well as decreases in amortization of capitalized software and commission expense due to the sales mix between our direct and indirect channels.
For the six months ended October 31, 2024, our gross margin percentage on subscription fees revenue slightly increased from 67% to 68%, when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased subscription revenue.
Gross Margin on License Fees
License fee gross margin percentage for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 increased 38% and 17%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to changes in the sales mix between our direct and indirect sales channels.
Gross Margin on Professional Services and Other
Our gross margin percentage on professional services and other revenue decreased from 29% to 25% for the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in revenues and staff utilization. Our gross margin percentage on professional services and other revenue increased from 23% to 28% for the six months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to cost containment.
Our gross margin percentage on professional services and other revenue in our SCM segment decreased from 25% to 21% for the three months ended October 31, 2024. Our gross margin percentage on professional services and other revenue in our SCM segment increased from 18% to 24% for the six months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. Our SCM segment constitutes 91% of the Company’s professional services and other revenue for both the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 91% and 90% for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023, respectively.
Our Other segment professional services gross margin decreased from 70% to 64% for the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. Our Other segment professional services gross margin decreased from 70% to 65% for the six months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Professional services and other gross margin is directly related to the level of services and other revenue. The primary component of cost of services and other revenue is services staffing and staff utilization, which is relatively inelastic in the short term.
Gross Margin on Maintenance
Maintenance gross margin percentage for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 increased 1% and 2%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs. The primary cost component is maintenance staffing, which is relatively inelastic in the short term.

*Included in cost of license fees and subscription fees.
For both the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, total product research and development costs increased by 2% when compared to the same period in the previous year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in personnel costs, an increase in the use of third-party contractors, an increase in recruiting fees and in increase in dues and subscriptions. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, amortization of capitalized software development costs decreased 98% and 95%, respectively, due to the fact that all projects have been fully amortized by October 31, 2024.
Sales and Marketing
For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue remained relatively flat at 20% and 21%, respectively, and for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023 sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue remained flat at 21%, which is primarily due to cost containment.
General and Administrative
For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at 23% and 22%, respectively. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2023, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at 21%.
At October 31, 2024, the total number of full-time personnel was 392, which includes 324 employees and 68 third-party contractors, compared to 423 full-time personnel, which includes 339 employees and 84 third-party contractors at October 31, 2023.

* Includes all corporate overhead and other common expenses.
Our SCM segment operating income increased by 10% and 8%, respectively, for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, when compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in subscription revenue and lower marketing and general and administrative expense.
Our Other segment operating loss increased by 17% and 8%, respectively, for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, when compared to the same periods in the prior year due primarily to decreases in subscription revenue, professional services revenue and maintenance revenue, along with higher general and administrative expenses.
Other Income (Loss)
Other income (loss) is comprised of net interest and dividend income, rental income, asset gains and losses, exchange rate gains and losses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments. For the three months ended October 31, 2024, the increase in other income is mainly due to an increase in unrealized and realized gains on investments and interest income, partially offset by a decrease in dividend income, when compared to the same period in the prior year. We recorded unrealized gains of approximately $0.1 million and realized gains of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2024 from our trading securities portfolio.
For the six months ended October 31, 2024, the increase in other income is mainly due to an increase in unrealized and realized gains on investments and interest income, partially offset by a decrease in dividend income, when compared to the same period in the prior year. We recorded unrealized losses of approximately $0.3 million and realized gains of approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended October 31, 2024 from our trading securities portfolio.
For the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, our investments generated an annualized yield of approximately 4.36% and 4.28%, respectively.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using statutory tax rates in effect in the year in which we expect the differences to reverse. We establish a deferred tax asset for the expected future benefit of net operating losses, credit carry-forwards and nonqualified stock options. Under the Income Tax Topic of ASC 740, Income Taxes, we cannot recognize a deferred tax asset for the future benefit of our net operating losses, tax credits and temporary differences unless we can establish that it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax asset would be realized.
During the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, we recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $478,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, which included discrete stock compensation expense of $138,000 and $556,000, respectively, net of normal income tax expense from operations. During the three and six months ended October 31, 2023, we recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $31,000 and $695,000, respectively. Before adjusting for these discrete tax expenses, our effective tax rate would have been 15.4% and 16.3% in the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, respectively, compared to our effective tax rate of 4.8% and 17.7% in the three and six months ended October 31, 2023. In addition, research and development credits and various permanent differences reduced our effective tax rate by 6.8% and 3.6%, respectively, in the six months ended October 31, 2024, compared to a reduction of 5.0% and 3.7%, respectively, in the six months ended October 31, 2023.
Operating Pattern
We experience an irregular pattern of quarterly operating results, caused primarily by fluctuations in both the number and size of software license and subscription contracts received and delivered from quarter-to-quarter and our ability to recognize revenue in that quarter in accordance with our revenue recognition policies. We expect this pattern to continue.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Sources and Uses of Cash
Historically, we have funded, and we continue to fund, our operations and capital expenditures primarily with cash generated from operating activities. The changes in net cash that our operating activities provide generally reflect the changes in net earnings and non-cash operating items plus the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities, such as investment trading securities, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue. We have no debt obligations or off-balance sheet financing arrangements, and, therefore, we used no cash for debt service purposes.
The following table shows information about our cash flows and liquidity positions during the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023. You should read this table and the discussion that follows in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows contained in Item 1 in Part I of this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report.

Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (14,923) | | | $ | (27,725) | |
For the six months ended October 31, 2024, the net decrease in cash used in operating activities when compared to cash provided by operating activities in the same period last year was due primarily to the following: (1) an increase in the purchases of trading securities, (2) a relative decrease in deferred revenue when compared to the same period last year due to timing of revenue recognition, (3) an increase in deferred tax assets relative to a decrease in the prior year, (4) a decrease in net earnings and (5) an increase in net gain on investments compared to a loss in the prior year.
This net decrease in cash used in operating activities was partially offset by: (1) an increase in the proceeds from the maturity and sales of trading securities, (2) a larger decrease in client accounts receivable when compared to the same period last year due to the timing of closing client sales and related collections, (3) a decrease in gain on sale of discontinued operations, (4) a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets when compared to the same period last year due to the timing of purchases, (5) a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities compared to the same period last year due to timing of payments, (6) higher depreciation and amortization expense due to the Garvis acquisition and (7) higher stock based compensation.
The decrease in cash used in investing activities when compared to the same period in the prior year was mainly due to the Garvis acquisition in prior year and a decrease in purchases of property and equipment.
The decrease in cash used in financing activities when compared to the prior year was due primarily to decreases in the purchases of common stock and dividends paid, partially offset by a decrease in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
The following table shows net changes in total cash, cash equivalents, and investments, which is one measure management uses to understand net total cash generated by our activities:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of October 31, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
| |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 44,589 | | | $ | 62,971 | |
Short-term investments | 39,631 | | | 20,917 | |
Total cash and short-term investments | $ | 84,220 | | | $ | 83,888 | |
Net increase (decrease) in total cash and investments during the six months ended October 31, | $ | 447 | | | $ | (29,622) | |
Our total activities provided more cash and investments during the six months ended October 31, 2024, when compared to October 31, 2023, in the course of normal business operations.
Days Sales Outstanding in accounts receivable was 61 days as of October 31, 2024, compared to 72 days as of October 31, 2023. This decrease is primarily due to the timing of billings and cash collections. Our current ratio was 2.2 to 1 on October 31, 2024 and 2.4 to 1 on October 31, 2023.
Our business in recent periods has generated positive cash flow from operations, excluding purchases and proceeds of sale of trading securities. For this reason, and because we had $84.2 million in cash and investments with no debt as of October 31, 2024, we believe that our sources of liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our presently anticipated requirements for continuing operations for a minimum of twelve months for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate needs. However, at some future date, we may need to seek additional sources of capital to meet our requirements. If such need arises, we may be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. We do not currently have a bank line of credit. We can provide no assurance that bank lines of credit or other financing will be available on terms acceptable to us. If available, such financing may result in dilution to our shareholders or higher interest expense.
On August 19, 2002, our Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing the repurchase of up to an additional 2.0 million shares of our Class A common stock. We have completed our repurchase of 2.0 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $16.4 million. As of October 31, 2024, under all repurchase plans previously authorized, including this most recent plan, we have repurchased a total of 5,534,953 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $35.8 million.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
For the six months ended October 31, 2024, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report.
Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency. In the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, we generated approximately 22% of our revenue outside the United States We typically make international sales through our VARs and employees located in foreign countries and denominate those sales in United States and New Zealand dollars, British pounds sterling or euros. However, expenses incurred in connection with these sales are typically denominated in the local currencies. We recorded exchange rate losses of approximately $22,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to exchange rate losses of approximately $0.3 million for the same period in the prior year. We recorded exchange rate losses of approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended October 31, 2024 compared to exchange rate losses of approximately $0.3 million for the same period in the prior year. We estimate that a 10% movement in foreign currency rates would have had the effect of creating up to a $393,000 and $358,000 exchange rate gain or loss for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024. We have not engaged in any hedging activities.
Interest Rates and Other Market Risks. We have no debt, and therefore limit our discussion of interest rate risk to risk associated with our investment profile. We manage our interest rate risk by maintaining an investment portfolio of trading investments with high credit quality and relatively short average maturities. These instruments include, but are not limited to, money-market instruments, bank time deposits, and taxable and tax-advantaged variable rate and fixed rate obligations of corporations, municipalities, and national, state, and local government agencies. These instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars. The fair market value of these instruments as of October 31, 2024 was approximately $80.1 million compared to $79.5 million as of October 31, 2023.
We also hold cash balances in accounts with commercial banks in the United States and foreign countries. These cash balances represent operating balances only and are invested in short-term time deposits of the local bank. Such operating cash balances held at banks outside the United States are denominated in the local currency and are minor.
Many of our investments carry a degree of interest rate risk. When interest rates fall, our income from investments in variable-rate securities declines. When interest rates rise, the fair market value of our investments in fixed-rate securities declines. In addition, our investments in equity securities are subject to stock market volatility. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities, which have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. We attempt to mitigate risk by holding fixed-rate securities to maturity, but, if our liquidity needs force us to sell fixed-rate securities prior to maturity, we may experience a loss of principal.
Inflation. Although we cannot accurately determine the amounts attributable thereto, we have been affected by inflation through increased costs of employee compensation and other operating expenses. To the extent permitted by the marketplace for our products and services, we attempt to recover increases in costs by periodically increasing prices.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of October 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Remediation of Previously Disclosed Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report, management identified a material weakness as of the year ended April 30, 2024. The identified material weakness was related to certain process-level controls over the reconciliation of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation and related costs and cost of revenues were not designed or operated effectively. These ineffective controls were attributable to insufficient risk assessment, policies and procedures and training that impaired our ability to timely investigate and resolve reconciling items.
Remediation of this material weakness was completed as of July 31, 2024 and included implementation of enhanced policies and procedures over reconciliations and related training, including a focus on risk assessment and expectations and procedures for investigating and resolving reconciling items on a timely basis. In addition, the Company increased its usage of its financial close management software in order to strengthen account reconciliation accuracy, tracking, and reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As noted above, the material weakness over certain process-level controls over the reconciliation of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation and related costs and cost of revenues reported has been fully remediated as of July 31, 2024.
