The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 11, 2026. As discussed in the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part II, Item 1A below.
Company Overview
We provide an agentic customer platform that helps marketing, sales, and customer service teams drive business growth. We deliver seamless connection for customer-facing teams with a unified platform that includes three layers: Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-powered agents and engagement Hubs, a Smart customer relationship management product (“CRM”), and a connected ecosystem supporting the customer platform with a marketplace of integrations, templates, expert partners, a community network, and an academy of educational content.
AI is integrated throughout our agentic customer platform, including our Smart CRM, engagement Hubs, and the connected ecosystem. Our engagement Hubs that enable companies to attract, engage, and delight customers throughout the customer lifecycle include Marketing, Sales, Service, Operations, Content and Revenue. The Smart CRM is the foundational context layer that combines customer data with AI to power the entire customer platform with unified customer profiles and tools to manage and govern your team and business processes. Our customer platform features a central database of lead and customer interactions and integrated applications designed to help businesses build their presence online, attract prospects across channels, convert prospects into leads, close leads into customers, transact with those customers, and delight them so they become promoters of those businesses.
We designed and built our customer platform to serve a broad range of customers globally. It was built to easily and seamlessly integrate third party applications to further customize to an individual company’s industry or needs. Our customer platform starts completely free and grows with our customers to meet their needs at different stages in their life-cycles. It supports multiple languages and currencies and offers an array of sophisticated features, including content partitioning at the enterprise level for companies operating in or serving multiple countries.
We focus on selling to mid-market business-to-business, or B2B, companies, which we define as companies that have between 2 and 2,000 employees. While our customer platform was built to grow with any company, we focus on selling to mid-market businesses because we believe we have significant competitive advantages attracting and serving this market segment. These mid-market businesses seek an integrated, easy-to-implement and easy-to-use solution to reach customers and compete with organizations that have larger marketing, sales, and customer service budgets. We efficiently reach these businesses at scale through our traditional and AI-enhanced engagement strategies, our Solutions Partners, and our “freemium” model. AI-enhanced engagement strategies leverage AI to personalize, automate, and optimize how businesses attract, engage, and retain customers across channels and throughout the customer lifecycle. A Solutions Partner is a service provider that helps businesses with strategy, execution, and implementation of go-to-market activities and technology solutions. Our freemium model attracts customers who begin using our customer platform through our free products and then upgrade to our paid products. As of June 30, 2026, we had 9,016 full-time employees and 306,446 Customers of varying sizes in more than 135 countries, representing many industries.
We derive most of our revenue from subscriptions to our cloud-based customer platform and related professional services, which consist of customer on-boarding, training and consulting services. Subscription revenue accounted for 98% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. We sell multiple product plans at different base prices on a subscription basis, each of which includes our Smart CRM and integrated applications to meet the needs of the various customers we serve. We also generate revenue through customer usage of our consumption-based products. Customers pay additional fees if the number of contacts stored and tracked in the customer’s database exceeds specified thresholds. We also generate revenue based on the purchase of additional subscriptions, products and seats. Most of our Customers’ subscriptions are one year or less in duration.
Subscriptions are billed in advance on various schedules. Because the mix of billing terms for orders can vary from period to period, the annualized value of the orders we enter into with our customers will not be completely reflected in deferred revenue at any single point in time. Accordingly, we do not believe that change in deferred revenue is an accurate indicator of future revenue.
Many of our customers purchase on-boarding, training, and consulting services, which are designed to help customers enhance their ability to attract, engage and delight their customers using our customer platform. Professional services and other revenue also
24
include Payments, our end-to-end payment solution, as well as our Stripe payment processing integration, both built within Revenue Hub. Professional services and other revenue accounted for 2% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
We have focused on rapidly growing our business and plan to continue to make investments to help us address some of the challenges facing us to support this growth, such as demand for our customer platform by existing and new customers, significant competition from other customer platform providers and related applications and rapid technological changes in our industry.
We believe that the growth of our business is dependent on many factors, including our ability to expand our customer base, increase adoption of our customer platform within existing customers, develop new products and applications to extend the functionality of our customer platform and provide a high level of customer service. We have invested and intend to continue investing for long-term growth. We intend to continue to invest in sales and marketing to support our growth, including investments in AI-enabled tools for guided selling and content generation designed to drive efficiencies and improve conversion rates. We plan to continue to invest in research and development as we continue to introduce new products and applications to extend the functionality of our customer platform, including the use of AI-enabled tools and machine learning capabilities intended to accelerate innovation and increase productivity. We intend to continue maintaining a high level of customer service and support which we consider critical for our continued success, and investing in AI to support automated ticket resolution. We also plan to continue investing in our services capabilities in order to support continued future customer growth. We also expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses as a result of our growth and the infrastructure required to operate as a public company, including continued efforts to automate and streamline processes using AI-enabled tools. We expect to use our cash flow from operations to fund these growth strategies and support our business.
Global Economic Conditions
Our results of operations may be significantly influenced by general macroeconomic conditions, including, but not limited to, the impact of pandemics, geo-political conflicts, foreign currency fluctuations, interest rates, inflation, recession risks, tariffs or other trade restrictions, and existing and new domestic and foreign laws and regulations, all of which are beyond our control. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and rising inflation have had, and may continue to have an adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results in future periods. As we continue to monitor the direct and indirect impacts of these circumstances, the broader implications of these macroeconomic events on our business, results of operations and overall financial position, particularly in the long term, remain uncertain. See the section titled “Risk Factors'' included under Part II, Item 1A below for further discussion of the possible impact of these factors and other risks on our business.

Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations
Revenue
We derive our revenue from two major sources, revenue from subscriptions to our customer platform and professional services and other revenue consisting mainly of on-boarding, training, consulting services fees, and Payments.
Subscription-based revenue is derived from customers using our customer platform for their marketing, sales, service, data, and content management needs. We sell multiple product plans at different base prices on a subscription basis, each of which includes our Smart CRM and integrated applications to meet the needs of the various customers we serve. All subscription fees that are billed in advance of service are recorded in deferred revenue. Subscription based revenue is recognized net of consideration paid to Solutions Partners when those Solutions Partners purchase the subscription to our customer platform. We also generate revenue through usage, including HubSpot Credits, which are consumed when customers use our AI agent products across our customer platform, and other consumption-based offerings. Usage fees that are billed in advance of consumption are recorded in deferred revenue.
Professional services and other revenue are derived primarily from customer on-boarding, training, consulting services, and Payments. Depending on which Hubs and services a customer purchases, they receive on-boarding guidance or training from technical consultants via web meetings.
Cost of Revenue, Operating and Other Expenses
Cost of Revenue
Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of managed hosting providers and other third-party service providers, including AI inferencing costs, employee-related costs including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation expense for our customer support team, amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology, and allocated overhead costs, which include facilities costs, depreciation of fixed assets, and costs related to information technology.
Cost of professional services and other revenue consists primarily of personnel costs of our professional services organization, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation, amortization of capitalized software development costs associated with Payments, as well as professional fees and allocated overhead costs, which include facilities, depreciation of fixed assets, and costs related to information technology. It also consists of costs associated with Payments and our other service offerings.
We expect that the cost of subscription and professional services and other revenue will increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in our infrastructure and capitalize software development costs for new offerings to grow our business and scale with AI capabilities. As a result of these investments, over time, we expect gross margins to decline slightly.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs of our development team, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation expense, professional and contractor fees and allocated overhead costs, which include facilities costs, depreciation of fixed assets, and costs related to information technology. We capitalize certain software development costs that are attributable to developing new products and adding incremental functionality to our customer platform and amortize such costs as cost of subscription and cost of professional services and other revenue over the estimated life of the new product or incremental functionality, which is generally two years. We also capitalize certain development costs that are attributable to developing our internally developed software platforms and amortize such costs throughout the consolidated statement of operations over the estimated life of our internally developed software platforms, which is generally five years. We focus our research and development efforts on improving our products and developing new ones, delivering new functionality and enhancing the customer experience. We believe delivering new functionality for our customers is an integral part of our solution and provides our customers with access to a broad array of options and information critical to their marketing, sales, and customer service efforts. We expect to continue to make investments in and expand our offerings to enhance our customers’ experience and satisfaction and attract new customers. Over time, we expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to increase the functionality of our customer platform and decline as a percentage of total revenue, exclusive of stock-based compensation expense.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs of our sales and marketing employees, including sales commissions and incentives, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, marketing programs, including lead generation, costs of our annual UNBOUND (formerly INBOUND) conference, other brand building expenses, amortization of intangible assets, professional and contractor fees and allocated overhead costs. Sales and marketing expenses also include commissions paid to our Solutions Partners in instances where the end customer purchases and pays for a subscription to our customer platform. We defer
26
certain sales and Solutions Partner commissions related to acquiring new contracts and amortize them ratably over a period of benefit that we have determined to be approximately two to four years.
We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing to grow our customer base and increase sales to existing customers. This growth will include adding sales personnel and expanding our marketing activities to continue to generate leads and build brand awareness. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to develop our sales and marketing teams. Over time, we expect sales and marketing expenses will decline as a percentage of total revenue, exclusive of stock-based compensation.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs and related expenses for executive, finance, legal, human resources, employee-related information technology, administrative personnel, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation expense, professional fees for external legal, accounting and other consulting services, and allocated overhead costs, which include facilities costs, depreciation of fixed assets, and costs related to information technology. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase on an absolute dollar basis as we incur the costs of compliance associated with being a publicly traded company, and remain relatively consistent as a percentage of total revenue, exclusive of stock-based compensation expense, as we focus on processes, systems and controls to enable our internal support functions to scale with the growth of our business.
Restructuring
Restructuring expenses primarily consist of variable lease costs related to properties vacated under our restructuring plan. On January 25, 2023, our board of directors authorized a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) that was designed to reduce operating costs and enable investment in key opportunities for long-term growth while driving continued profitability. The Restructuring Plan included a reduction of our workforce by approximately 7% and a global lease consolidation to create higher density across our workspaces. Future variable facilities related costs for vacated properties will continue to be recorded to restructuring charges.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on invested cash and cash equivalents balances and investments. Interest expense primarily consists of amortization of issuance costs and contractual interest expense related to our 2025 Notes and Revolving Credit Facility. Other (expense) income, net primarily consists of the impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses associated with monetary assets and liabilities and any gains, losses on, or impairments of our strategic investments.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred taxes for U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

Three month change
Subscription revenue increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to the increase in Customers, which grew from 267,982 as of June 30, 2025 to 306,446 as of June 30, 2026. In addition, Average Subscription Revenue per Customer increased from $11,310 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $11,800 for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The growth in Customers was primarily driven by increased demand for our lower-priced Starter products. The increase in Average Subscription Revenue per Customer was primarily driven by continued adoption of our Professional and Enterprise products and the impact of foreign currency translation primarily attributable to the decrease in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound Sterling, partially offset by continued purchases of our lower-priced Starter products.

Professional fees increased primarily due to increase in the use of third-party services and contractors. Allocated overhead expenses increased primarily due to the increased proportional allocation of shared company expenses associated with headcount in general and administrative. Employee-related costs decreased primarily due to lower expense associated with our share-based payment awards.

The change in other (expense) income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily due to the following:
Change
Three Months Six Months

Impairment of strategic investments $ (2,371 ) $ (1,414 )
Gain on strategic investments (1,663 ) (1,300 )
Foreign currency gains and losses 171 (129 )
$ (3,863 ) $ (2,843 )
Three month change
The increase in the impairment of strategic investments is due to an impairment of $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to no impairment in the same period in 2025. The decrease in gain on strategic investments is due to gains of $0.1 million from observable price changes in the value of certain strategic investments in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $1.8 million in the same period in 2025. The change in foreign currency gains and losses is primarily attributable to the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound Sterling.
Six month change
The increase in the impairment of strategic investments is due to an impairment of $3.0 million in 2026 compared to $1.6 million in the same period in 2025. The decrease in gain on strategic investments is due to gains of $0.6 million from observable price changes in the value of certain strategic investments in 2026 compared to $1.9 million in the same period in 2025. The change in foreign currency gains and losses is primarily attributable to the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound Sterling.

The increase in the income tax expense is primarily from an increase in U.S. tax expense as a result of the pattern in which pre-tax income is realized throughout 2026 as compared to 2025.
Six month change
The increase in the income tax expense is primarily from an increased U.S. tax expense as a result of the pattern in which pre-tax income is realized throughout 2026 as compared to 2025, as well as an increase in customer withholding taxes.
We will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S federal and state deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of this allowance. However, given our anticipated future earnings, management believes that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to reach a conclusion that all or a portion of the valuation allowance may no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity to date have been cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, our common stock offerings, our convertible notes offerings, and our available Revolving Credit Facility.
The following table shows cash and cash equivalents, working capital, net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities, net cash and cash equivalents provided by investing activities, and net cash and cash equivalents used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Six Months Ended June 30,

(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents $ 958,314 $ 601,196
Working capital 583,848 1,022,684
Net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities 421,580 325,932
Net cash and cash equivalents provided by investing activities 390,819 291,164
Net cash and cash equivalents used in financing activities (727,675 ) (559,963 )
Our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026 were held for working capital purposes. At June 30, 2026, $357.5 million of our cash and cash equivalents was held in accounts outside the United States. We do not assert indefinite reinvestment of our foreign earnings because these earnings have been subject to United States Federal tax. While we have concluded that any incremental tax incurred upon ultimate distribution of these earnings to be immaterial, our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate undistributed earnings to fund our U.S. operations.
Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties detailed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part II, Item 1A. However, based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investment balances, and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.
Net Cash and Cash Equivalents Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities consist primarily of net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items, including stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges, net.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Considerations
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Contractual obligations are cash that we are obligated to pay as part of certain contracts that we have entered during our course of business. Our contractual obligations consist of operating lease liabilities that are included in our consolidated balance sheet and vendor commitments associated with agreements that are legally binding. As of June 30, 2026, the total obligation for operating leases was $283.8 million, of which $54.2 million is expected in the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2026, our vendor commitment was $415.9 million, of which $275.9 million is expected in the next twelve months. See Note 12 for all obligations the Company is committed to in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Share Repurchase Programs
In February 2026, our Board of Directors authorized the February 2026 Share Repurchase Program for the repurchase of shares of our common stock, in an aggregate amount of up to $1 billion, over a period of 24 months. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 3.5 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $214.25 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of $742.9 million. As of the date of filing of this report, a total of $257.1 million remained available for repurchase under the February 2026 Share Repurchase Program.
In August 2026, our Board of Directors authorized the August 2026 Share Repurchase Program for the repurchase of shares of our common stock, in an aggregate amount of up to $1 billion, over a period of 24 months.

Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Programs may be made under a variety of methods, including privately negotiated or open market trades, pursuant to 10b5-1 plans. The Share Repurchase Programs do not obligate us to acquire a specified number of shares, and may be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time and will be funded using our cash and cash equivalents. Consideration paid for the shares repurchased is recorded as a reduction to stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets.
Letters of Credit
36
As of June 30, 2026, we had a total of $2.7 million in letters of credit outstanding for office space. These irrevocable letters of credit are expected to remain in effect, in some cases, until 2029.
Revolving Credit Facility
In February 2026, we entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company's obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants, and, during periods when the Company does not maintain investment-grade credit ratings, a financial covenant that is tested quarterly and requires the Company to maintain a certain consolidated leverage ratio, and customary events of default. As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2026 exclusive of items described above and indemnifications of officers, directors and employees for certain events or occurrences while the officer, director or employee is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
