The spike in **cash and cash equivalents** in Q2 2024 was driven by several factors. Firstly, there was a significant increase in **net cash provided by operating activities**, with HubSpot generating **$244.9 million** in the first six months of 2024 compared to **$157.6 million** in the prior year. Secondly, a notable shift in **investing activities** turned from cash outflows of **($53.3 million)** to inflows of **$139.0 million**, reflecting changes in investment strategies. Additionally, **net cash provided by financing activities** increased, contributing further to the cash inflow. Finally, improved operating performance, as evidenced by a rise in **free cash flow** to **$92.1 million** in Q2 2024, and the effect of **foreign cash holdings** significantly bolstered the overall cash position.  **[0000950170-24-092843_hubs-20240630.htm:35]** **[0000950170-24-092811_hubs-ex99_1.htm:0]** 

Why did cash and cash equivalents spike in Q2 2024?

The significant increase in current liabilities in Q2 2024 was primarily driven by the inclusion of **Convertible Senior Notes** amounting to **$457,196 thousand** (which had no prior entry), along with an increase in **Deferred Revenue** (from **$672,150 thousand** to **$708,113 thousand**), higher **Accrued Compensation Costs** (from **$53,462 thousand** to **$61,206 thousand**), and a slight rise in **Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities** (from **$94,074 thousand** to **$95,078 thousand**).  **[0000950170-24-092811_hubs-ex99_1.htm:3]** **[0000950170-24-092843_hubs-20240630.htm:5]** 

What drove the significant jump in current liabilities in Q2 2024?

The surge in Q3 2024 was driven by **higher cash flow generation**, **strong free cash flow**, and a strategic **focus on liquidity management**. Specifically, HubSpot generated **$159.5 million in operating cash flow** (up from **$89.0 million in Q3 2023**) and **$164.0 million in non-GAAP operating cash flow**, providing the capacity to invest more in short-term assets. Additionally, an improvement in non-GAAP free cash flow—from **$64.7 million** to **$129.2 million**—further enabled the increase in investments. The company’s deliberate strategy to maintain liquidity is evidenced by a balance of **$2.1 billion** in total cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of September 30, 2024.  **[0000950170-24-122373_hubs-20240930.htm:5]** **[0000950170-24-122326_hubs-ex99_1.htm:0]** **[0000950170-24-122326_hubs-ex99_1.htm:3]** 

What factors led to the surge in short-term investments in Q3 2024?

The sharp rise in **goodwill** in Q4 2024 was primarily driven by **acquisitions**. In Q4, the **goodwill** balance increased from **$173,761 thousand** to **$209,508 thousand**, with an acquisition-related amount of **$36,383 thousand** contributing to this increase.  **[0000950170-25-018873_hubs-20241231.htm:134]**

Net income turned positive in Q1 2024 primarily because **HubSpot** experienced several favorable factors. The company saw **23% revenue growth** driven by strong subscription and professional services performance, which helped improve its GAAP operating margin from **(8.6%) to (3.8%)**. Additionally, a **non-recurring gain on strategic investments of $16,353 thousand** along with **higher interest income** and a significant **reduction in restructuring charges** collectively contributed to turning the net income positive in Q1 2024.  **[0000950170-24-055778_hubs-ex99_1.htm:0]** **[0000950170-24-057772_hubs-20240331.htm:6]** **[0000950170-24-055778_hubs-ex99_1.htm:5]** **[0000950170-24-057772_hubs-20240331.htm:8]** 

Why did net income turn positive in Q1 2024?

The drastic drop in **Restructuring Operating Expenses** in Q1 2024 was primarily due to the completion of major restructuring activities that took place in 2023. In **Q1 2023**, HubSpot incurred **$28,570 thousand** in restructuring costs associated with severance, employee-related benefits, and stock-based compensation, as well as facility-related expenses. By **Q1 2024**, most of these one-time costs had been incurred, leaving only **variable facilities-related costs** for unused space, which amounted to **$782 thousand**.  **[0000950170-24-057772_hubs-20240331.htm:22]** 

What drove the drastic drop in Restructuring Operating Expenses in Q1 2024?

HubSpot's Total Other Income (Expense) jumped significantly in Q1 2024 because of several key factors. The company experienced a **$1,217 thousand gain** from foreign currency fluctuations, which was partially offset by a **$3,615 thousand impairment** of strategic investments. However, the major contributor was a substantial **$16,353 thousand gain** on strategic investments, reflecting observable price changes that did not occur in Q1 2023. Collectively, these factors led to an overall **$13,955 thousand increase** in Total Other Income (Expense) in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023.  **[0000950170-24-057772_hubs-20240331.htm:30]** 

How did Total Other Income (Expense) jump so high in Q1 2024?

The Q4 2024 turnaround in **Income (Loss) Before Income Tax Expense** was primarily driven by **improved operating performance**—notably, a reduction in the GAAP operating loss from **($23.2 million)** in Q4 2023 to **($10.8 million)** in Q4 2024—as well as **strong revenue growth** with a **21%** increase in total revenue (including significant gains in both subscription revenue and professional services and other revenue).  **[0000950170-25-018839_hubs-ex99_1.htm:0]**  The improvement was further boosted by **increased other income** from gains on strategic investments and favorable currency transactions  **[0000950170-25-018873_hubs-20241231.htm:104]** , along with **substantially lower restructuring costs** (reducing from **$96.8 million** to **$3.99 million**) and a **41% increase in interest income** driven by improved yields and higher cash balances.  **[0000950170-25-018873_hubs-20241231.htm:90]**

Operating Cash Flow was so high in Q1 2024 primarily because HubSpot experienced a **significant improvement in net income** (turning from a loss of **$36,565 thousand in Q1 2023** to a positive income of **$5,934 thousand in Q1 2024**), which substantially boosted the cash flow from operations. In addition, **higher stock-based compensation** (increasing from **$83,037 thousand** to **$111,122 thousand**) provided a major non-cash adjustment, and **increased depreciation and amortization** (from **$16,570 thousand** to **$21,234 thousand**) further supported the operating cash flow. Other factors, such as changes in deferred revenue and more favorable accounts receivable collections, also contributed to this improvement.  **[0000950170-24-057772_hubs-20240331.htm:33]** **[0000950170-24-055778_hubs-ex99_1.htm:5]** 

Why was Operating Cash Flow so high in Q1 2024?

The significantly higher operating cash flow in FY 2024 was primarily driven by **improved profitability**, as evidenced by a swing from a **net loss of $164,510 thousand in FY 2023 to a net income of $4,628 thousand in FY 2024**. In addition, **non-cash adjustments increased**, notably **stock-based compensation** rising from **$432,271 thousand to $504,770 thousand** and **depreciation and amortization** increasing from **$72,673 thousand to $96,828 thousand**. Moreover, **changes in working capital** such as larger increases in **deferred revenue** and **accrued expenses and other liabilities** also contributed to the boost in operating cash flow, even after accounting for offsetting factors like increases in **accounts receivable** and **deferred commission expense**.  **[0000950170-25-018873_hubs-20241231.htm:93]** **[0000950170-25-018873_hubs-20241231.htm:107]**
