Key Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue consists of subscription, other non-recurring, and professional services.

Subscription. Subscription revenue include SaaS and on-premise subscription revenue, as well as maintenance and support services associated with on-premise subscriptions and other non-recurring arrangements. Subscription revenue is comprised of subscription services and term-license revenue. Subscription services revenue is the revenue that is recognized over the life of the subscription and term-license revenue is the revenue that is immediately recognized upon the sale of an on-premise subscription license. In connection with our term-based agreements, SaaS subscription agreements, and other non-recurring arrangements, we generate revenue through maintenance and support under renewable subscription, fee-based contracts that include unspecified software updates and upgrades released when and if available as well as software patches and support. Customers with active subscriptions are also entitled to our technical customers' support.
Other non-recurring. Other non-recurring revenue reflects the revenue recognized from sales of other non-recurring related to offerings such as hardware sold mainly in connection with new software license, and usage-based fees. Other non-recurring fees are recognized upfront assuming all revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.
Professional Services. Professional Services consists of revenue related to: (i) certified training sessions by Cellebrite Trainings; (ii) our advanced services; (iii) certain implementation services in connection with our software licenses; (iv) on premise contracted customer success and technical support; and (v) specific on-site services contracted by us with customers and delivered by our personnel to support the ongoing operation of our solutions in collaboration with the customer. The revenue of professional services is recognized upon the delivery of our services.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of cost of subscription, cost of other non-recurring, and cost of professional services.

Cost of Subscription. Cost of subscription revenue includes all direct cost to deliver and support subscription services, including salaries and related employees' expenses, allocated overhead such as facilities expenses, third party license fees, fees paid to OEMs, hosting, IT related expenses and amortization of intangible assets. We recognize these costs and expenses upon occurrence.
Cost of other non-recurring. Cost of other non-recurring revenue includes all direct costs to deliver other non-recurring revenue, including HW costs, fees paid for third party products, materials, salaries and related employees' expenses, allocated overhead such as depreciation of equipment and IT related expenses, warehouse, manufacturing and supply chain costs. We recognize these costs and expenses upon occurrence, while HW components are recognized upon delivery.
Cost of Professional Services. Cost of professional service revenue includes salaries and related employees' expenses, subcontractors and all direct costs related to professional services such as services materials, allocated overhead such as depreciation of equipment, facilities and IT related costs. We recognize these costs and expenses upon occurrence.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including our revenue mix, the selling price to our customers, the cost of our manufacturing facility, supply chain, hosting, salaries, other related costs to our employees and subcontractors and overhead. We expect that our gross margin will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these various factors.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consists of research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. The most significant components of our operating expenses are personnel costs, which are included in each component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, share-based compensation and, with regards to sales and marketing expenses, sales commissions.

Research and development. Research and development expenses primarily consist of the cost of salaries and related costs for employees, subcontractors cost, consultation services and depreciation of equipment. Our costs of research and development also include facility-related expenses, recruitment and training, IT infrastructure, information system licenses, hosting, support and others that contribute to the research and development operations. We focus our research and development efforts on developing new solutions, core technologies and to further enhance the functionality, reliability, performance and flexibility of existing solutions. We believe that our software development teams and our core technologies represent a significant competitive advantage for us and we expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase, as we invest in research and development headcount to further strengthen and enhance our solutions.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of the cost of salaries and related costs for employees, marketing activities, travel expenses, and commissions earned by our sales personnel. Our costs of sales and marketing also include facility-related expenses, recruitment and training, information system licenses, hosting, support and others that contribute to the sales and marketing operations. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase as we continue to invest in our Go-to-Market activities.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of the cost of salaries and related costs for employees, insurance, consultants and facility-related costs for our corporate management, finance, legal, IT, human resources, administrative personnel, and other corporate expenses. We anticipate moderate growth in our general and administrative expenses as we further expand our business around the world. All of the departments are allocated with general and administrative expenses such as rent and related expenses, recruitment and training, information systems licenses, hosting, support and others.

Financial Income, Net

Financial income, net consists primarily of interest income on our short-term deposits, fees to banks and foreign currency realized and unrealized income and loss related to the impact of transactions denominated in a foreign currency and financial investment activities.

Tax Expense

Tax expense (as well as deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits) reflects management's best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in Israel, the United States, and numerous other foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.

Our income tax rate varies from Israel's statutory income tax rates, mainly due to differing tax rates and regulations in foreign jurisdictions and other differences between expenses and expenses recognized by other tax authorities in relevant jurisdictions. We expect this fluctuation in income tax rates, as well as its potential impact on our results of operations, to continue.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $9.5 million, or 12%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is mainly attributable to increase of salaries and related costs for employees of $7.7 million and an increase in marketing activities of $2.5 million, primarily related to the C2C Conference held during the first half of 2026, offset by a decrease in professional consultant expenses.

General and administrative

The decrease is mainly attributable to a $2.4 million unfavorable change in FX remeasurement and a $1.3 million decrease in interest income from financial institutions due to lower interest rates.

Taxes Expense

Taxes expense increased by $4.3 million, or 132%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in deductible share-based compensation expense, which raised taxable income under local tax rules.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities were $545.7 million as of June 30, 2026, compared with $535.0 million as of December 31, 2025.

We derive our cash primarily from our business operations. Currently, our primary liquidity needs are employee salaries and benefits, product development, and other operating activities to support our organic growth, and our operating cash requirements may increase in the future as we continue to invest in the growth of our company. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our capital expenditures amounted to $6.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively, primarily consisting of expenditures related to property and equipment and capitalized development costs, and we expect that our capital expenditures for the next 12 months will relate to the same needs. We may also enter into future arrangements to acquire or invest in businesses, products, services, strategic partnerships, and technologies.

7

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our organic operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, timing of renewals and subscription renewal rates, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts and expansion into new customer base, the timing of introductions of new software products and enhancements to existing software products, and the continuing market acceptance of our software offerings and our use of cash to pay for acquisitions. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Credit Facilities

We do not have any credit facilities.
