We introduced new partnerships and focused on improvements to our product set in 2024, all in support of revenue growth while at the same time taking actions to control our costs. This strategy enabled us to mark a milestone as we achieved our first-ever GAAP net income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, ahead of our third anniversary as a publicly traded company. We believe that this profitability milestone was, in part, attributable to how our value proposition of accounts payable automation and payments solutions, built upon our two-sided network of buyers and suppliers, continued to resonate with middle market companies.4 From its latest annual report

Properties, in its own words
We lease our approximately 201,000 square foot built to suit corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina pursuant to a lease with an initial term that expires in 2032. In 2021, we purchased approximately 60,000 square feet of office space that we use as flex space to support our operations and additional real estate parcels that are adjacent to our corporate headquarters. We own approximately 17.1 acres of land adjacent to our current headquarters for future expansion.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we undertook an effort to reduce our office footprint outside of our headquarters and we abandoned our leased offices in Framingham, Massachusetts, Sandy, Utah, Houston, Texas, and Birmingham, Alabama. We continue to maintain and support our employee-teammate concentrations in these areas.

Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks AvidXchange Holdings, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 28, 2025: 58 risks under these headings, as written.4
- differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks and uncertainties described below.
- Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
- Risks Related to Growth
- We have a history of operating losses and we may not sustain profitability in the future.
- Our future revenue and operating results will be harmed if we are unable to acquire new customers, retain existing customers, expand sales to our existing customers, or deliver new features, functionality and integrations for our platform that achieve market acceptance.
- Our historical growth may not be indicative of our future performance and we may not be able to sustain our current growth rate, which is dependent on a number of factors that we do not control.
- We participate in highly competitive and fragmented markets, and our industry is rapidly evolving.
- We earn a substantial portion of our revenue from electronic payment transactions and our growth is dependent upon the continued acceptance, adoption and security of electronic payment types that result in interchange revenue.
- Certain of our customer segments are cyclical.
- We may not be able to scale our business and technology quickly enough to meet our growth.
- Future acquisitions, strategic investments, partnerships, collaborations, or alliances could be difficult to identify and integrate, divert the attention of management, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
- Our business depends, in part, on our relationships with providers of accounting and ERP solutions.
The other 48 risks
- Our long-term growth strategy depends, in part, on strategic partnerships and indirect sales partners.
- The loss of one or more of our key buyers or strategic partners could negatively affect our ability to market our platform.
- Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates as we could fail to capture the market share that we anticipate.
- If we fail to maintain or grow our brand recognition, our ability to expand our base of suppliers and buyers will be impaired and our financial condition may suffer.
- Risks Related to Operations
- We transfer large sums of customer funds daily, and are subject to the risk of errors, which could result in financial losses and damage to our reputation and customer trust.
- We depend on banks, bank partners and other third-party service providers to process transactions.
- Interruptions or delays in the services provided by third-party providers of cloud-based infrastructure and platforms or internet service providers could impair the delivery of our products and services.
- If we fail to offer high-quality customer support, or if our support is more expensive than anticipated, our business and reputation could suffer.
- Risks Related to Electronic Payments
- We are subject to the payment card network rules and our failure to comply with these rules could harm our business.
- Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Data Privacy
- The cybersecurity incident that we detected in early April 2023, or other cyber incidents that we may encounter in the future, may have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
- We, our strategic partners, our buyers and suppliers, and others who use our services obtain and process a large amount of data. Any real or perceived improper or unauthorized use of, exposure of, disclosure of, or access to such data could harm our reputation as a trusted brand, as well as have a material adverse effect on our business.
- Risks Related to Talent Acquisition and Retention
- If we lose key members of our team including our Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, or if we are unable to attract and retain talent, our business may be harmed.
- Failure to effectively develop and expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to increase our base of buyers and suppliers and achieve broader market acceptance of our products.
- If we cannot maintain our company culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, teamwork, passion and focus on execution that we believe contribute to our success and our business may be harmed.
- Risks Related to Intellectual Property
- We may lose existing customers or fail to attract new customers if we are unable to deliver new software, solutions and technology for our platform.
- Indemnity provisions in various agreements potentially expose us to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement, data protection, and other losses.
- If we are unable to effectively document or perfect our ownership over our proprietary technology and intellectual property, our ability to protect our proprietary rights against third parties might be adversely affected.
- If we are unable to obtain necessary or desirable third-party technology licenses, our ability to develop platform enhancements may be impaired.
- Uncertainty in the development, deployment, and use of artificial intelligence in our operations and in our products and services may result in harm to our business and reputation.
- Complexities and Risks in AI Product Development and Deployment May Impact Our Business and Competitive Edge.
- Evolving Legal and Regulatory Frameworks for AI Technologies May Increase Compliance Costs and Operational Challenges.
- We use open-source software, which could subject us to litigation or other actions.
- If our technology and other proprietary rights are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by our competitors, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished, and our business may be adversely affected.
- Risk Related to Financial Controls, Customer Funds, and Risk Management
- Should we identify a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or otherwise fail to design, implement, and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
- Customer funds held by us are subject to market, interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks, as well as general economic and political conditions. The loss of these funds and fluctuations in rates of return could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- We maintain cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Adverse developments affecting financial institutions, including bank failures, could adversely affect our liquidity and financial performance.
- Our risk management efforts may not be effective to prevent fraudulent activities by our customers or their counterparties or third parties, which could expose us to material financial losses and liability and otherwise harm our business.
- Any future litigation against us could be costly and time consuming to defend.
- Natural catastrophic events and man-made problems such as power-disruptions, computer viruses, data security breaches, war and terrorism may disrupt our business.
- Risks Related to Credit and Liquidity
- Certain of our products and services expose us to credit risk.
- Our 2024 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides our lenders with a first-priority lien against substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and personal property, and contains financial covenants and other restrictions on our and our subsidiaries’ actions, which could limit our operational flexibility and otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.
- Regulatory Risks
- Our business, which includes payment services and commercial lending, is subject to extensive government regulation and oversight. Our failure to comply with extensive, complex, overlapping, and frequently changing rules, regulations, and legal interpretations could materially harm our business and noncompliance with such laws can subject us to civil and criminal liability.
- Financial Services Regulation
- Other Regulation
- We are subject to governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy, data protection, and information security, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business, by resulting in litigation, fines, penalties, or adverse publicity and reputational damage that may negatively affect the value
- of our business and decrease the value of our common stock. Compliance with such laws could also result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our products.
- We are subject to governmental laws and requirements regarding economic and trade sanctions, export controls, anti-money laundering, and counter-terror financing that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to civil and criminal liability if we violate them.
- We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to civil and criminal liability and harm our business and reputation.
- The increasing focus on environmental sustainability and social matters could increase our costs, harm our reputation and adversely impact our financial results.
- Tax Related Risks
- Our ability to use our net operating losses, or NOLs, to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
- We could be required to collect additional sales taxes or be subject to other tax liabilities that may increase the costs our customers would have to pay for our offerings and adversely affect our operating results.
- Changes in our effective tax rate or tax liability may adversely affect our operating results.
- Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
- You may be diluted by the future issuance of common stock, preferred stock or securities convertible into common or preferred stock, in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions, capital raises or otherwise.
- The market price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline steeply or suddenly regardless of our operating performance and we may not be able to meet investor or analyst expectations. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the market price of our common stock at the time you bought it and may lose all or part of your investment.
- Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that they might occur, could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
- We may require additional capital to support the growth of our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
- If securities or industry analysts either do not publish research about us or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, the trading price or trading volume of our common stock could decline.
- We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future and, as a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
- Delaware law, our status as a licensed money transmitter and provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest difficult, thereby depressing the trading price of our common stock.
- We must develop and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, and if we fail to develop and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable laws and regulations could be impaired.
Legal proceedings
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including commercial, intellectual property, employment, class action, whistleblower, and other litigation and claims, as well as governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. In addition, third parties may from time to time assert claims against us in the form of letters and other communications. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material to our business or financial condition. The results of any future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
