Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Sprout Social, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 27, 2026: 48 risks under these headings, as written.5
- Risks Related to our Business Model and Other Operations Risks
- If we fail to attract new customers and retain and increase the spending of existing customers, our revenue, business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects would be harmed.
- Our historical revenue growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth.
- Our platform and products are dependent on APIs built and owned by third parties, including social media networks, and if we cannot renew on commercially reasonable terms or we lose access to data provided by such APIs for any reason, our business could suffer.
- If we are unable to attract potential customers through unpaid channels, or other sources of demand, including expansion opportunities from existing customers and outbound sales efforts, or convert prospective customers and expansion opportunities into paid subscriptions, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
- If we fail to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, new social media platforms, evolving industry standards or changing customer needs, requirements, tastes or preferences, our products may become less competitive.
- As more of our sales efforts target larger mid-market and enterprise customers and we transition certain lower recurring revenue customers to lower-touch and self-service models, our sales cycles have and may continue to become longer and more expensive, and we may face increased pricing, packaging and customer segmentation risks.
- We recognize subscription revenue ratably over the term of our customer contracts. Consequently, downturns or upturns in new sales may not be immediately reflected in our operating results and may be difficult to discern.
- If we do not adequately fund our research and development efforts, or use research and development teams effectively, we may not be able to compete effectively, and our business and operating results may be harmed.
- If we fail to offer high-quality customer support, or if the cost of such support is not consistent with corresponding levels of revenue, our business and reputation may be harmed.
- Technological advances in AI may in the future disrupt the social media industry, which could significantly reduce the demand for our services or otherwise adversely impact our business or reputation if we are unable to successfully keep pace and navigate this evolving environment.
- Our international sales, operations and global workforce subject us to additional risks and costs, including operational, legal, regulatory, market and foreign currency exchange rate risks, that can adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
The other 37 risks
- We have a history of losses and may not achieve profitability in the future.
- If we are unable to develop and maintain successful relationships with channel partners, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
- Risks Related to the Use of Technology
- Any cybersecurity-related attack, significant data breach or disruption of the information technology systems or networks on which we rely could negatively affect our business.
- We rely upon third parties to operate our platform and any disruption of or interference with our use of such third party providers would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- Real or perceived errors, failures or bugs in our platform or products could materially and adversely affect our operating results and growth prospects.
- We are subject to subscription and payment processing risk from our third-party vendors and any disruption to such processing systems could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
- Market and Competition Risk
- Our business depends on a strong brand, and if we are not able to maintain, develop, and enhance our brand, our business and operating results may be negatively impacted. Moreover, our brand and reputation could be harmed if we were to experience significant negative publicity.
- Our estimates of market opportunity, forecasts of market growth and our operating metrics may prove to be inaccurate.
- The market in which we operate is competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.
- Legal and Regulatory Risks
- We are subject to stringent and changing obligations related to data privacy and security. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such laws and obligations could lead to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; loss of customers or sales; and other adverse business consequences.
- If our information technology systems or data, or those of third parties with whom we work, are or were compromised, we could experience adverse consequences resulting from such compromise, including but not limited to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; loss of customers; and other adverse consequences.
- Indemnity provisions in various agreements potentially expose us to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement and other losses.
- Our use of “open source” software could negatively affect our ability to offer and sell access to our platform and products and subject us to possible litigation.
- We are currently subject to, and may become in the future, subject to litigation, disputes or regulatory inquiries for a variety of claims, which could adversely affect our results of operations, harm our reputation or otherwise negatively affect our business.
- We are subject to U.S. economic sanctions and export control and anti-corruption laws and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to liability if we violate such laws and regulations.
- Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock
- Our actual operating results may fluctuate from period to period and may differ significantly from any guidance provided.
- Our share price has been and may continue to be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
- The dual class structure of our common stock and the existing ownership of capital stock by our Co-Founders have the effect of concentrating voting control with our Co-Founders for the foreseeable future, which limits the ability of our other investors to influence corporate matters.
- We cannot predict the effect our dual class structure may have on the market of our Class A common stock.
- Future sales of our common stock in the public market could cause our share price to fall.
- We have never paid dividends on our capital stock and we do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
- Our charter documents and Delaware law could prevent a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also reduce the market price of our stock.
- Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
- If securities or industry analysts do not continue to publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
- Risks Related to Tax and Accounting Matters
- Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in our failure to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
- Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected or withheld, or in the future should collect or withhold, sales and use, gross receipts, value-added, federal, state, or foreign employment, or similar taxes and may successfully impose additional obligations on us, and any such assessments or obligations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards may be limited.
- Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition, or results of operations.
- Risks Related to Intellectual Property Matters
- Inability or failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our business.
- Third party intellectual property infringement claims could impair our business.
- General Risk Factors
- Unstable market, economic and political conditions may have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition and share price.
- We may make acquisitions of, or invest in, other businesses or technologies, which may divert our management’s attention and result in the incurrence of indebtedness or dilution to our stockholders. We may be unable to integrate acquired businesses or technologies successfully or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions and investments.
- We depend largely on the continued service of our senior management and other key employees, the loss of any of whom could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- If we cannot attract and retain qualified personnel or maintain our culture as we grow, we may be unable to execute our business strategy.
- We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.
- We have incurred a substantial amount of debt, which could adversely affect our business, including by restricting our ability to engage in additional transactions or incur additional indebtedness, and prevent us from meeting our debt obligations.
- We may not be able to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, to meet our future capital needs.
