SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, technology developments, financing and investment plans, dividend policy, competitive position, industry and regulatory environment, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition. Forward looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
we operate in a highly competitive industry, with many companies competing for business from insurance companies, asset managers, corporations and government entities on the basis of a number of factors, including the quality and breadth of solutions and services provided, ability to innovate, reputation and the prices of services, and this competition could hurt our financial performance and cash flows;
we are dependent on fees based on the value of the assets on our platform for the main portion of our revenues, and to the extent market volatility, a downturn in economic conditions or other factors cause negative trends or fluctuations in the value of the assets on our platform, our fee-based revenue and earnings may decline;
because some of our sales efforts are targeted at large financial institutions, corporations and government entities, we face prolonged sales cycles, substantial upfront sales costs and less predictability in completing some of our sales. If our sales cycle lengthens, or if our upfront sales investments do not result in sufficient revenue, our results of operations may be harmed;
we have experienced considerable revenue growth over the past several years, which may be difficult to sustain, and we depend on attracting and retaining top talent to continue growing and operating our business, and if we are unable to hire, integrate, develop, motivate and retain our personnel, we may not be able to maintain or manage our growth, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;
if our investment accounting and reporting solutions, regulatory reporting solutions or risk management or performance analytics solutions fail to perform properly due to undetected errors or similar problems, our business, financial condition, reputation or results of operations could be materially adversely affected;
our business relies heavily on cloud-based services and, to some extent, our own computer equipment, electronic delivery systems, networks and telecommunications systems and infrastructure, the Internet and the IT systems of third parties. Any failures or disruptions in any of the foregoing could result in reduced revenues, increased costs and the loss of clients and could harm our business, financial condition, reputation and results of operations;
our failure to successfully integrate acquisitions could strain our resources. In addition, there are significant risks associated with growth through acquisitions, which may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations;
if our intellectual property and propriety technology are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by our competitors, our business and competitive position would be harmed;
the Principal Equity Owners continue to have influence over us, including influence over decisions that require the approval of stockholders, which could limit our ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to stockholders for a vote;
provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management; and
iv

other risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and in periodic reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and our reports to shareholders. These filings are available at www.sec.gov and on our website.
Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and should not be relied upon as representing Clearwater's expectations or beliefs as of any date subsequent to the time they are made. Clearwater does not undertake to and specifically declines any obligation to update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of Clearwater.

Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Clearwater”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 18, 2021, as a holding company for the purpose of facilitating the IPO and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of the Company. Prior to the IPO, all business operations were conducted through Carbon Analytics Holdings, LLC, which changed its name to CWAN Holdings, LLC (“CWAN Holdings”) in connection with the IPO. Clearwater provides a SaaS solution for automated investment data aggregation, reconciliation, accounting and reporting services to insurers, investment managers, corporations, institutional investors and government entities. Following the IPO, Clearwater’s principal asset consists of ownership of common units in CWAN Holdings. As the sole managing member of CWAN Holdings, Clearwater operates and controls all the business operations of the Company. Our corporate structure following the IPO is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure. The Company does not have material assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses other than its investment in (and the deferred taxes and TRA expenses, if any, associated with) CWAN Holdings, which fully owns CWAN Acquisition LLC and is guarantor of the Company.
The Company headquarters are located in Boise, ID, and we operate in five offices throughout the U.S. and eight offices internationally.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company owns 95.1% of the interests in CWAN Holdings. Continuing Equity Owners which hold Class C common stock own the remaining 4.9% of the interests in CWAN Holdings. The attributes of the Company's classes of common stock are summarized in the following table:
Class of Common StockVotes per ShareEconomic Rights
Class A common stock1Yes
Class B common stock1No
Class C common stock10No
Class D common stock10Yes
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the SEC and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the unaudited interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its directly and indirectly wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated through consolidation. The Company consolidated the financial results of CWAN Holdings as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. owns the majority economic interest and has the power to control all the business and affairs of CWAN Holdings.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Items subject to estimates and assumptions include the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, the average period of benefit associated with deferred contract costs, sales reserves, the incremental borrowing rate applied in

Table of Contents
lease accounting, accruals for sales tax liabilities, the fair value and probability of achieving performance conditions of equity awards and business combinations, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the result of which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, and measurement of revenues and expenses. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments, or assumptions and actual results, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements will be affected.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company's significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Note 3. Revenue Recognition
For SaaS offerings, the Company is applying the optional exemption to not disclose transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations given the Company’s monthly recurring revenue contracts.
For Licenses, the Company's remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to maintenance and support performance obligations that have yet to be satisfied. The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to maintenance and support performance obligations that are partially satisfied (in thousands):

Note 5. Business Combinations
On April 22, 2024, we completed our acquisition of Wilshire AxiomSM, Wilshire AtlasSM, Wilshire Abacus (“AAA”), and Wilshire iQComposite (“IQComposite” and, together with AAA, the “Wilshire Technology”)), which together comprise the risk and performance analytics solutions businesses of Wilshire Advisors LLC, (“Wilshire”), a leading global financial services firm. We acquired the employee base and all customer contracts associated with the Wilshire Technology. Following the acquisition, the Wilshire Technology is co-branded as Clearwater Wilshire Analytics and enables clients to calculate performance and risk attribution, assist with security-level portfolio construction, access high-quality portfolio models, and identify investment opportunities that maximize returns and mitigate risk. The total purchase consideration for the acquisition of the Wilshire Technology was $40.1 million in cash, paid upon completion of the acquisition. In connection with the acquisition, the Company and Wilshire entered into a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which Wilshire agreed to perform certain services for a period of time with respect to the Company’s use and operation of the Wilshire Technology, and a Master SaaS Agreement for Wilshire to license back the underlying technology for use in their retained business. We expensed acquisition-related costs in the amount of $1.3 million in general and administrative expenses in the first and second quarters of 2024.
We have accounted for this transaction as a business combination and allocated the fair value of the consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired as well as liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of

Note 8. Leases
The Company leases facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with varying terms that range from one to 10 years. In addition, some of these leases have renewal options for up to five years. The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, and operating lease liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not have any finance leases.
13

Table of Contents
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included within the ROU asset and lease liability calculation. Optional periods to extend a lease under renewal options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs).
Operating lease cost was $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Variable lease cost and short-term lease costs were immaterial during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Future minimum lease payments at March 31, 2025 under the Company’s non-cancelable leases were as follows (in thousands):

Note 11. Equity-Based Compensation
In September 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted the Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), pursuant to which employees, consultants and directors of our Company and our affiliates performing services for us, including our executive officers, are eligible to receive awards. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), bonus stock, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, substitute awards, annual incentive awards and performance awards intended to align the interests of participants with those of our shareholders. A total of 69,200,278 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan. In connection with the approval of the 2021 Plan, the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan was terminated and all outstanding stock options and RSUs were transferred to the 2021 Plan.

Note 12. Segment and Geographic Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Company’s CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis and makes decisions and allocates resources based on the Company as a whole. The Company has one business activity as a provider of a solution for investment data aggregation, accounting, analytics, and reporting services. Accordingly, the Company operates as one operating segment, and all required segment financial information is found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The CODM uses net income (loss) to allocate operating and capital resources and assesses the Company’s performance by comparing actual results and previously forecasted financial information. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The following table presents information on revenue, significant expenses, and net income (in thousands):

Note 13. Income Taxes

As a part of the Up-C structure, Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. owns a portion of CWAN Holdings, which contains all operations of the business and is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, CWAN Holdings is generally not subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by CWAN Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members in accordance with the terms of the operating agreement of CWAN Holdings. CWAN Holdings’ international wholly-owned subsidiaries are subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

The Company is taxed as a corporation and pays corporate federal, state, and local taxes on income allocated to it from CWAN Holdings based on the Company’s economic interest held in CWAN Holdings. While the Company consolidates CWAN Holdings for financial reporting purposes, the Company will not be taxed on the earnings attributed to the non-controlling interests. As a result, the income tax burden on the earnings attributed to the non-controlling interest is not reported by the Company in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in the applicable quarter. In each quarter, we update the estimated annual effective tax rate and make a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The estimated annual effective tax rate may be subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including our ability to accurately predict the proportion of our pretax income in multiple jurisdictions, certain book-tax differences, and exchanges from non-controlling interests.
The following table provides details of the provision for (benefit from) income taxes:

Income before income taxes$8,486 $2,138 
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes1,550 (98)
Effective tax rate18.3 %(4.6 %)
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate primarily because of foreign taxes and non-deductible equity-based compensation, offset by tax credits, windfalls from equity-based compensation deductions, as well as the portion of pretax earnings that are attributable to the non-controlling interest and not taxable to the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate primarily because of foreign taxes, non-deductible equity-based compensation, the generation of tax credits and incentives, and the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets.

Note 14. Tax Receivable Agreement Liability
In connection with the IPO and related transactions, we entered into a TRA that provided for the payment by us of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that we actually realize, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in our share of the tax basis in the net assets of CWAN Holdings resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of CWAN Holdings units, (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA, and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest and bonus payments pursuant to the TRA Bonus Agreements (the “TRA Payments”).
On November 4, 2024, the Company entered into the TRA Amendment which amended the TRA to provide for one-time settlement payments in a gross amount of approximately $72.5 million. The settlement payments were made in Q4 of 2024 and Q1 of 2025. The Company has no further payment obligations (past, current, or future) to the TRA Parties under the TRA.
Note 15. Subsequent Events
On April 21, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of all outstanding stock of Enfusion, Inc (NYSE: ENFN) (“Enfusion”), a leader in SaaS solutions for the investment management and hedge fund industry. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for Enfusion was approximately $1.4 billion, comprising of $0.8 billion in cash, approximately 28 million shares of Class A common stock with fair value of $0.6 billion, and a payment of $30 million made in connection with the termination of Enfusion’s tax receivable agreement with Enfusion’s historic equity holders. Additionally, outstanding restricted stock units of Enfusion that were unvested at the time the acquisition was consummated were assumed by the Company and converted into restricted stock awards of the Company.
In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Enfusion, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of April 21, 2025 (the “2025 Credit Agreement”), by and among CWAN Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), Clearwater Analytics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent. Pursuant to the 2025 Credit Agreement, the Lenders have provided to the Borrower initial term loans due 2033 in an aggregate principal amount equal to $800 million (the “2025 Term Loan”) and revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million with a tenure of 5 years, which includes a $20 million letter of credit and $20 million of swingline loans (the “2025 Revolving Facility”). The interest rate applicable to the loans under the 2025 Term Loan is Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.25% and 2025 Revolving Facility is SOFR plus 2.00%. This 2025 Credit Agreement replaces the Prior Credit Agreement and the debt balance under the Prior Credit Agreement was repaid contemporaneously.
On April 28, 2025, one of our Principal Equity Owners, Permira, gave notice to exchange all of its 7,983,533 shares of Class D common stock into equal number of shares of Class A common stock. No consideration is expected to be exchanged.
On April 30, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of all outstanding stock of Beacon, a next-generation leader for cross-asset class modeling and risk analytics for derivatives, private credit and debt, structured products and other alternative assets. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for Beacon was approximately $550 million, comprising of $350 million in cash and approximately 8 million shares of Class A common stock with fair value of approximately $200 million.
These acquisitions accelerate Clearwater’s vision of creating a unified, real-time portfolio view across all asset types—from public equities and private credit to structured products and alternatives—in a single, cloud-native platform, ultimately building the first comprehensive cloud-native front-to-back solution for the entire investment management industry.
Transaction costs for the acquisitions were $7.3 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These costs mainly consisted of professional fees and administrative costs for closed and pending acquisitions and were expensed as incurred in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. As discussed in the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and in the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
Clearwater brings transparency to the opaque world of investment accounting and analytics with what we believe is the industry’s most trusted and innovative single instance, multi-tenant technology platform. Our cloud-native software allows clients to radically simplify their investment accounting operations, enabling them to focus on higher-value business functions such as asset allocation strategy and investment selection. Our platform provides comprehensive accounting, data and advanced analytics as well as highly-configurable reporting for global investment assets daily or on-demand, instead of weekly or monthly. We give our clients confidence that they are making the most informed decisions about investment performance, regulatory compliance and risk.
We provide investment accounting and reporting, performance measurement, compliance monitoring and risk analytics solutions for asset managers, insurance companies and large corporations. Every day, Clearwater’s powerful platform aggregates and normalizes data on over $8.8 trillion of global invested assets for over 1,400 clients as of December 31, 2024. We bring modern software to an industry that has long been dominated by difficult-to-use, high cost legacy technologies and processes, which often lack data integrity and traceability, and often require significant manual intervention. The strength of our platform is demonstrated by our approximately 80% win rate for new clients over the prior four years in deals that reached the proposal stage, as well as NPS of 60+ and at least 98% gross retention in 24 of the last 25 quarters.
We allow our clients to replace legacy systems with modern cloud-native software. Our platform helps clients reduce cost, time, errors and risk and allows them to reallocate resources to other value-creating activities. Our software aggregates, reconciles and validates data from more than 4,100 daily data feeds and more than four million securities that have been modeled across multiple currencies, asset classes and countries. This cleansed and validated data runs through our proprietary accounting, performance, compliance and risk solutions to provide clients with powerful analytics and daily or on-demand configurable reporting. We offer multi-asset class, multi-basis, multi-currency accounting and analytics that provide clients with a comprehensive view of their holdings and related performance. This allows our clients to make better, more timely decisions about their investment portfolios.
Clearwater benefits from powerful network effects. With our single instance, multi-tenant architecture, every client, whether new or existing, enriches our global data set by making it more complete and accurate. Our software continually sources, ingests, models, reconciles and validates the terms, conditions and features of every investment security held by all of our clients. This continuous process helps to create a single repository of comprehensive, accurate investment data (often referred to within the industry as a “Golden Copy” of data) that benefits all our clients to the extent they otherwise have rights to the data. Through this continuous process, we are able to identify and adjudicate data discrepancies that otherwise could introduce error and risk into our clients’ investment portfolios. We believe that a meaningful competitive advantage of this network effect is that we are increasingly seen as the best and most accurate source of investment accounting data and analytics in the industry.
We have a recurring revenue model, excluding revenue from professional services and license-related revenue from the JUMP Technology acquisition. We charge our clients a fee that is based on the amount and complexity of the assets they manage on our platform as well as the breadth of the solution utilized by the customer. In 2022, we transitioned our contracting structure to a framework we describe as Base+ for all new clients. A Base+ contract framework includes a base fee for a prospective or existing client’s book of business plus an incremental fee for increases in assets on the platform. This structure is designed to limit the downside volatility in our asset-based fees. We also began to amend contracts with our existing clients to either modify the structure of such contracts from a pure asset-based fee to this Base+ model or to increase the basis point price. Prior to 2022, we charged a basis point fee based on the client’s assets on the platform subject to contracted minimums. For those clients contracted prior to 2022 and whose contract has not been amended, our revenues can more significantly fluctuate with the changes in those clients’ assets. A majority of the assets on our platform
21

Table of Contents
are high-grade fixed income assets, which have traditionally had lower levels of volatility, enabling our highly predictable revenue streams. The Base+ model includes annual increases in the base fee and enables us to charge additional fees for supplemental services provided for certain alternative asset classes (e.g., LPx, MLx) or additional products (e.g. Prism, OMS/PMS) should the client choose to utilize those services.
Recent Developments
Strategic Acquisitions

We completed our previously announced acquisitions of Beacon on April 30, 2025 and, Enfusion on April 21, 2025, and an asset purchase of Blackstone’s proprietary portfolio visualization software platform, Bistro, on March 31, 2025. These acquisitions aim to accelerate Clearwater’s vision of creating a unified, real-time portfolio view across all asset types—from public equities and private credit to structured products and alternatives—in a single, cloud-native platform, ultimately building the first comprehensive cloud-native front-to-back solution for the entire investment management industry.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
The growth and future success of our business depends on many factors, including those described below.
Adding New Clients in Established End Markets: Our future growth is dependent upon our ability to continue to add new clients, and in 2024 we added over 100 net new clients. We are focused on continuing to increase our client base in our established client end-markets of corporations, government entities, insurance companies and asset managers, and doing so with increasingly large and sophisticated clients. As we add clients, it takes time to fully onboard their assets to the platform. Our revenue generally increases as assets are added to the platform, while the effort to serve the client is relatively consistent over time. Therefore, we expect revenues and gross margins to increase for a client as the client transitions from the onboarding process to a steady state once assets have been onboarded. In any period, our gross margins may fluctuate based on the relative size and number of clients that we are onboarding at that time.
Expanding and Retaining Relationships with Existing Clients: Our future growth is dependent upon retaining our existing clients and expanding our relationships with these clients through increases in the amount of their assets on our platform. We have enjoyed consistent gross revenue retention rates of at least 98% in 24 of the past 25 quarters. The consistency in revenue retention creates predictability in our business and enables us to better plan our future investments. Our relationships with our clients expand as these clients add more assets to our platform, with our quarterly net revenue retention rates (as defined below under “—Key Operating Measures”) between 110% and 116% in 2024. Clients may add assets as a result of acquiring new clients themselves or by acquiring new businesses or simply through organic growth, which produces additional assets that they manage using our platform. We believe that our client service model and technology platform are strong contributing factors in our attractive retention rates. As such, we expect to continue to invest in both our operations and research and development functions to maintain and increase our high levels of client satisfaction, which we believe will lead to strong client retention and expansion.
International Expansion: We believe that the value provided by our platform is equally applicable to asset owners and asset managers outside of North America, and there is a significant opportunity to expand our client base and usage of our platform internationally. Our future growth is dependent upon our ability to successfully enter new international markets and to expand our client base in our current international markets. Our cost to acquire clients in international markets is currently greater than in North America because there is less awareness of the Clearwater brand and our product capabilities, and we have to date invested less in sales and marketing internationally. For these reasons, we expect to invest more in sales and marketing in international markets relative to North America in order to achieve growth in these international markets.
Adding New Clients in Adjacent or Nascent End-Markets: Our strategy is to also add new clients in our more nascent end-markets, which include state and local governments, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, as well as endowments and foundations. Traditionally, our existing clients have been among our best resources
22

Table of Contents
for referring new clients to us, and we will continue to invest in sales and marketing to build awareness of our brand, engage prospective clients and drive adoption of our platform, particularly as it relates to expanding into new end-markets. As we establish our presence in new end-markets, we expect sales and marketing expenditures will be less efficient than in our established verticals and we will become increasingly more efficient at acquiring clients in new end-markets over time.
Expanding Solutions and Broadening Innovation: Our future growth is dependent upon our continued expansion of our solutions in order to better retain our current clients and to develop new use cases that appeal to new clients. While we believe we will be able to reduce our research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues as we achieve greater scale, our priority is to maintain and grow our technological advantage over our competitors. As we identify opportunities to increase our technological and competitive advantages, we may increase our investments in research and development at rates that are faster than our growth in revenues in order to enhance our long-term growth and profitability.
Fluctuations in the Market Value of Assets on the Platform: Although we generally have a base fee and adopted our Base+ model in 2022, we also bill our clients monthly in arrears based on a basis point rate applied to our clients’ assets on our platform, which can be influenced by general economic conditions. While 77% of the assets on our platform were high-grade fixed income securities and structured products as of December 31, 2024 and traditionally subject to lower levels of volatility, the value of our clients’ assets on our platform varies on a daily basis due to changes in securities prices, cash flow needs, incremental buying and selling of assets and other strategic priorities of our clients. For these reasons, our revenue is subject to fluctuations based on economic conditions, including market conditions and the changing interest rate environment.
Key Components of Results of Operations
The following discussion describes certain line items in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue
We generate revenue from fees derived from providing clients with access to the solutions and services on our SaaS platform. Sales of our offering include a right to use our software in a hosted environment without taking possession of the software. Our contracts are generally cancellable with 30 days’ notice without penalty. We invoice clients monthly in arrears based on a percentage of the average daily value of assets within a client’s accounts on our platform during that month, or based on a fixed monthly base fee. Payment terms may vary by contract but generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days following the month in which services are provided. Fees invoiced in advance of the delivery of the Company’s performance obligations are deemed set-up activities and are deferred as a material right and recognized over time, typically 12 months. Through JUMP, which we acquired on November 30, 2022, we also earn license revenue.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists of expenses related to delivery of revenue-generating services, including expenses associated with client services, onboarding, reconciliation and agreements related to the purchase of data used in the provision of our services. Salary and benefits for certain personnel associated with supporting these functions, in addition to allocated overhead, amortization of JUMP-related developed technology intangible asset, and depreciation for facilities, are also included in cost of revenue.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expense consists primarily of salary and benefits for our development staff as well as contractors’ fees and other costs associated with the enhancement of our offering, ensuring operational stability and performance and development of new offerings.
Sales and marketing expense consists of the costs of personnel involved in the sales and marketing process, sales commissions, advertising and promotional materials, sales facilities expenses, and the cost of trade shows and seminars.
General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs for IT, finance, administration, human resources and general management, as well as expenses from legal, corporate technology and accounting service providers.
Interest Income, Net
Interest income relates to interest received on our cash and cash equivalents based on interest rates in the course of the applicable period, and interest received from other investments. Interest expense reflects interest accrued on our
23

Table of Contents
outstanding term loan during the course of the applicable period. The accrual of interest varies depending on the timing and amount of borrowings and repayments during the period as well as fluctuations in interest rates.
Tax Receivable Agreement Expense
In connection with the IPO and related transactions, we entered into a TRA that, prior to the TRA Amendment, provided for the payment by us of 85% of certain tax benefits that we realized, or in some cases were deemed to realize, as a result of Tax Attributes, as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement. Tax receivable agreement expense relates to payments we made, or to be made, under the TRA prior to or in connection with the TRA Amendment.
On November 4, 2024, the Company entered into the TRA Amendment, which amended the TRA to provide for one-time settlement payments in a gross amount of approximately $72.5 million, inclusive of approximately $69.2 million to be paid to the TRA Parties (net of the TRA Bonus Payments) and approximately $3.3 million TRA Bonus Payments to be paid to certain executive officers of the Company (collectively, the “TRA Settlement Payments”), plus approximately $6.5 million in third-party expenses. Upon the payment of the TRA Settlement Payments, the TRA Parties have no further rights to receive payments (past, current, or future) under the TRA, and the Company will have no further payment obligations (past, current, or future) to the TRA Parties under the TRA. Most of the TRA Settlement Payments were made in December 2024. The remaining TRA Settlement Payments were made in the first quarter of 2025. Refer to Note 14 “Tax Receivable Agreement Liability” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net consists of gains and losses of foreign currency and investments.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes consists of income taxes related to federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions where we conduct our business. Our effective tax rate may increase in the future as our ownership in CWAN Holdings increases via exchanges from historical partners. In addition, our discrete items may not be consistent from period to period and could cause volatility in our effective tax rate.
Key Operating Measures
We consider certain operating measures, such as annualized recurring revenue, gross retention rates and net retention rates, in measuring the performance of our business. The following table summarizes these operating measures as of the dates presented:
First QuarterSecond QuarterThird QuarterFourth Quarter
2025
Annualized recurring revenue (in thousands)$493,852 
Gross revenue retention rate98 %
Net revenue retention rate114 %
2024
Annualized recurring revenue (in thousands)$402,326 $427,189 $456,941 $474,924 
Gross revenue retention rate99 %99 %99 %98 %
Net revenue retention rate110 %110 %114 %116 %
Annualized Recurring Revenue
Annualized recurring revenue is calculated at the end of a period by dividing the recurring revenue in the last month of such period by the number of days in the month and multiplying by 365.
Because a substantial majority of the assets on our platform are fixed income securities that typically have low levels of volatility with respect to their market value, the growth in annualized recurring revenue is generally not attributable to the fluctuating market value of the assets on our platform. Rather, the growth in annualized recurring revenue is due to an increase in the number of clients using our offering as well as from onboarding more assets of our existing clients onto our platform.
Annualized recurring revenue increased 22.7% from March 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025 on account of growth in our client base as we brought new clients onto our platform and also added additional assets onto our platform from existing clients.
24

Table of Contents
Gross Revenue Retention Rate
Gross revenue retention rate represents annual contract value (“ACV”) at the beginning of the 12-month period ended on the reporting date less client attrition over the prior 12-month period, divided by ACV at the beginning of the 12-month period, expressed as a percentage. ACV is comprised of annualized recurring revenue plus contracted-not-billed revenue, which represents the estimated annual contracted revenue for new and existing client opportunities prior to revenue recognition. In order to arrive at total ACV, we include contracted-not-billed revenue, as it is contracted revenue that has not been recognized but that we expect to produce recognized revenue in the future. Client attrition occurs when a client provides a contract termination notice. The amount of client attrition is calculated as the reduction in annualized revenue of the client at the time of the notice and is recorded in the month the final billing occurs. In the case of client attrition where contracted-not-billed revenue is still present for a client, both annualized recurring revenue and contracted-not-billed revenue associated with such client are deducted from ACV.
As of March 31, 2025, the gross revenue retention rate was 98% compared to 99% as of March 31, 2024. The Company has reported a gross revenue retention rate of at least 98% for 24 out of the 25 prior quarters. We believe the consistent and high gross revenue retention rate is a testament to the value proposition that our leading solution offers.
Net Revenue Retention Rate
Net revenue retention rate is the percentage of recurring revenue retained from clients on the platform for 12 months and includes changes from the addition, removal or value of assets on our platform, contractual changes that have an impact to annualized recurring revenues and lost revenue from client attrition. We calculate net revenue retention rate as of a period end by starting with the annualized recurring revenue from clients as of the 12 months prior to such period end. We then calculate the annualized recurring revenue from these clients as of the current period end. We then divide the total current period end annualized recurring revenue by the 12-month prior period end annualized recurring revenue to arrive at the net revenue retention rate.
As of March 31, 2025, the net revenue retention rate was 114% compared to 110% as of March 31, 2024. Our relationships with our clients expand as these clients add more assets to our platform, with our quarterly net revenue retention rates between 110% and 116% in 2024.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We also consider certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with US GAAP, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, in measuring the performance of our business. The non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. However, we believe that this non-GAAP information is useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate our operating performance, when reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and because these amounts are not determined in accordance with GAAP, they should not be used exclusively in evaluating our business and operations. In addition, undue reliance should not be placed upon non-GAAP or operating information because this information is neither standardized across companies nor subjected to the same control activities and audit procedures that produce our GAAP financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are supplemental performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus (i) interest income, net, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) equity-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, (iv) tax receivable agreement expense, (v) transaction expenses, (vi) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and (vii) other expense, net. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Revenue increased $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in 2024. The increase was due to new clients brought onto our platform which resulted in an increase in revenue of $6.9 million, acquired customer base related to the Wilshire Technology acquisition of $2.4 million, as well as changes to our existing clients’ assets on our platform and increasing revenue which is not related to assets on our platform. Average assets on our platform that were billed to new and existing clients increased 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in 2024. Average basis point rate billed to clients increased by 5.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

The increase in cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to increased payroll and related costs as a result of headcount growth, increases in merit-based compensation, and changes in our employee base leading to higher compensation, and increased equity-related payroll taxes for vested equity awards. In addition, cost of revenue increased due to higher data costs for acquiring vendor data contracts related to the Wilshire Technology acquisition, increased depreciation and amortization related to the amortization of capitalized IT projects and acquired Wilshire Technology intangible assets, and increased equity-based compensation due to grants of additional awards to employees.

The decrease in research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to decreased equity-related payroll tax, as there were RSU releases from a JUMP executive during the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased equity-based compensation, offset by increased technology costs from higher utilization of third-party cloud computing services and other third-party IT services, and decreased tax credits from elimination of payroll tax credit earned in 2024.

The increase in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to increased payroll and related costs as a result of headcount growth to expand sales coverage and increases in merit-based compensation, increased allocation of facilities cost due to additional office space, and increased equity-based compensation due to grants of additional awards to employees.

The increase in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to increased outside services and contractors related to legal, consulting and accounting professional services supporting the Bistro, Enfusion and Beacon acquisitions, increased payroll and related costs due to headcount growth and increases in merit-based compensation, increased technology costs due to higher utilization of third-party IT services, and increased recruiting expense to support key hires, offset by decreased equity-based compensation expense due to reduction in new grants.

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes$1,550 $(98)$1,648 (1682)%
The provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased due to the valuation allowance release on most of our U.S. net deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2024. The provision for income taxes in the current year includes taxes on our U.S. income whereas no taxes were provided for on our U.S. income in the prior year due to the valuation allowance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have primarily financed our operations through cash flows from operations and financing activities.
As of March 31, 2025, we had total cash, cash equivalents and investments of $282.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $275.2 million, and short-term investments of $7.7 million. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments primarily consist of highly-liquid investments in money market funds, and certificates of deposit.
On April 21, 2025, subsequent to our reporting date, we replaced the Prior Credit Agreement with the 2025 Credit Agreement and the debt balance under the Prior Credit Agreement was repaid contemporaneously. We obtained term loans due 2033 in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million (the “2025 Term Loan”) and revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million with a tenure of 5 years, which includes a $20 million letter of credit and $20 million of swingline loans (the “2025 Revolving Facility”), to finance the Bistro, Enfusion and Beacon acquisitions. See Note 15 “Subsequent Events” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, investments, together with cash expected to be generated from operations, borrowings available under our 2025 Revolving Facility, and our access to capital markets, will be sufficient to meet our operating working capital, capital expenditure and debt repayment requirements over the next 12 months. Our future financing requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, revenue retention rates, the timing and extent of spending to support development of our platform and any future investments or acquisitions we may make.
The following table shows our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the stated periods:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $24.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily the result of our net income plus non-cash charges, including equity-based compensation, operating lease expense and depreciation and amortization, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities that decreased operating cash flow by $13.9 million. Accounts receivable increased $5.3 million, which is comprised of $0.3 million from growth in revenues and $5 million from aging of receivable balances for certain customers due to short-term deterioration in days sales outstanding which we continue to believe are collectible. Prepaid expenses and other assets increased $2.6 million due to timing of prepaid subscriptions with software vendors. Accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $5.1 million primarily due to 2024 bonus payment, partially offset by increase in professional legal services fees in connection with the Bistro, Enfusion and Beacon acquisitions and accrued bonus for 2025.

Table of Contents
Net cash provided by operating activities of $10.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily the result of our net income plus noncash charges, including equity-based compensation, operating lease expense and depreciation and amortization. Cash flows resulting from changes in assets and liabilities include an increase in accounts receivable, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities. Accounts receivable increased $4.7 million, which is comprised of $3.4 million from growth in revenues and $1.3 million from aging of receivable balances for certain customers due to short-term deterioration in days sales outstanding which we continue to believe are collectible. Prepaid expenses and other assets increased $4.2 million due to
timing of prepaid subscriptions with software vendors. Accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $9.4 million primarily due to 2023 bonus payment, partially offset by accrued bonus for 2024.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities of $99.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to $89.5 million of proceeds from sale of available-for-sale investments in preparation for utilizing cash in the closing of the business combinations in April 2025, and $16.2 million of proceeds from maturities of investments, which was offset by $4.7 million in purchase of held-to-maturity investments and $1.5 million in purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities of $11.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the purchase of $31.9 million available for-sale investments and $1.4 million attributable to the purchase of property and equipment, including internally developed software, which was offset by $21.5 million in proceeds from the sale and maturity of investments.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $27.2 million, of which $24.4 million was used to pay tax withholding on behalf of employees related to net share settlement, $2.1 million was used for payment of debt issuance costs, and $0.7 million was used for repayment of borrowings.
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $30.1 million, of which $28.8 million was used to pay tax withholding on behalf of employees related to net share settlement, $0.8 million was used for the payment of the holdback liability related to the JUMP acquisition, and $0.7 million was used for repayment of borrowings, which was partially offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of options.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We review the accounting policies used in reporting our financial results on a regular basis. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the process we use to develop estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other information that we believe is reasonable for making judgments at the time the estimates are made. Actual results may differ from our estimates due to actual outcomes being different from those on which we based our assumptions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Annual Report under the caption “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, set forth in Part II, Item 7.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recent accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
AUM Market Price Risk
The vast majority of our revenue is derived from fees that are primarily based on the amount of assets on our platform. These fees are stated in basis points, or 1/100th of 1%. Though in substantially all cases we charge a minimum fee regardless of the assets that are loaded onto our platform, our revenues fluctuate based on the value of the assets that our clients maintain on our platform. A total of $8.8 trillion and $7.3 trillion of assets was loaded on our platform as of
32

Table of Contents
December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Movements in funds invested between different securities or fluctuations in securities prices or investment performance could cause the value of AUM to decline, which would result in lower fees we receive from our clients.
Interest Rate Risk
We had interest rate risk relating to debt and associated interest expense under the Prior Credit Agreement. At any time, a rise in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and cash flows. Conversely, a decrease in interest rates could result in a material increase in earnings and cash flows. We estimate that a hypothetical increase or decrease in SOFR of 100 basis points would increase or decrease, respectively, our interest expense or income by approximately $0.1 million on an annual basis, based on our $45.4 million debt balance under the Prior Credit Agreement at March 31, 2025.
On April 21, 2025, subsequent to our reporting date, we replaced the Prior Credit Agreement with the 2025 Credit Agreement and the debt balance under the Prior Credit Agreement was repaid contemporaneously. . We obtained term loans due 2033 in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million (the “2025 Term Loan”) and revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million with a tenure of 5 years, which includes a $20 million letter of credit and $20 million of swingline loans (the “2025 Revolving Facility”), to finance the Bistro, Enfusion and Beacon acquisitions. A hypothetical increase or decrease in SOFR of 100 basis points would increase or decrease, respectively, our interest expense by $10 million on an annual basis, based on the maximum aggregate principal amount.
Inflation
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be impacted by macroeconomic conditions, including rising inflation. Although our operations have been impacted by rising inflation from time to time, we currently do not believe that inflation has had a material direct effect on our overall business, financial condition or results of operations. However, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset higher costs through price increases and our inability or failure to do so could potentially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated 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”)). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
33

Table of Contents
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of
compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost–effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of our management, we are not involved in any litigation or proceedings with third parties that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report.
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe certain non-GAAP measures may be useful in evaluating our operating performance. We present certain non-GAAP financial measures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and intend to continue to present certain non-GAAP financial measures in future filings with the SEC and other public statements. Any failure to accurately report and present our non-GAAP financial measures could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our Class A common stock.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
In connection with the completion of the Company's previously announced acquisition of Bistro, the Company issued 3,833,333 shares of Class A common stock as part of the consideration paid for the acquisition on March 31, 2025. The Class A common stock was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
