Overview Zix® (the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") is a leading cloud provider of email security, productivity and compliance solutions. Trusted by the nation's most influential institutions in healthcare, finance and government, Zix delivers a superior experience and easy-to-use solutions for email encryption, data loss prevention ("DLP"), advanced threat protection, unified archiving and cloud data backup. As a leading provider of cloud-based cybersecurity, compliance, and productivity solutions for businesses of all sizes, we are focused on the protection of business communication, enabling our customers to better secure data and meet compliance needs. We serve organizations in many industries, with particular emphasis on the healthcare (including multiple major hospitals and severalBlue Cross Blue Shield plans), financial services (including several majorU.S. Banks), and insurance and government (including theU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")) sectors. Our email encryption and DLP capabilities enable the secure exchange of email that includes sensitive information. Through a comprehensive secure messaging service, called Email Encryption (formerly ZixEncrypt), we allow an enterprise to use policy-driven rules to determine which email messages should be sent securely or quarantined for review to comply with regulations or company-defined policies. The main differentiation for Email Encryption in the marketplace is our exceptional ease of use. The best example of this is our ability to provide transparent delivery of encrypted email. Most email encryption solutions are focused on the sender. They typically introduce an added burden on recipients, often requiring additional user authentication with the creation of a new user identity and password. We designed our solution to alleviate the recipient's burden by enabling the delivery of encrypted email automatically and transparently. Zix enables transparent delivery through (1) The Directory (formerly ZixDirectory®), an email encryption community which is designed to share identities of our tens of millions of members, (2) Zix's patented Best Method of Delivery®, which is designed to deliver email in the most secure, most convenient method possible for the recipient, and (3) policy-based encryption, which automatically encrypts and decrypts messages with sensitive content. Our Email Encryption also addresses a business's greatest source of data loss - corporate email- with an easy, straightforward DLP approach. By focusing strictly on the risks of email, Email Encryption simplifies DLP in comparison to other DLP solutions by decreasing complexity and cost, reducing deployment time and minimizing impact on customer resources and workflow. Our Email Encryption solution enables DLP capabilities for email by combining proven policy and content scanning capabilities with quarantine functionality. The quarantine system and its intuitive interface allow administrators to (1) easily define policies and create custom lexicons for quarantining email messages, (2) conveniently manage quarantined messages using flexible searching and filtering options, (3) release or delete individual or multiple quarantined messages with one click, (4) review reports that monitor quarantine activities and trends and (5) automate custom notifications informing employees of quarantined messages. 21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- InMarch 2017 , Zix acquiredGreenview Data, Inc. ("Greenview"), an email security company. Zix's acquisition of Greenview addresses increasing buyer demand for email security bundles by adding advanced threat protection, antivirus, anti-spam and archiving capabilities to its industry-leading email encryption. Greenview was a good fit for Zix's business based on its employees' expertise in email security and its emphasis on customer success, which align with Zix's reputation for delivering industry-leading solutions and a superior experience. Through the acquisition of Greenview, Zix launched two new solutions inApril 2017 - ZixProtectSM and ZixArchiveSM. ZixProtect is now called Advanced Email Threat Protection while ZixArchive is now called Information Archive. Advanced Email Threat Protection defends organizations from zero-day malware, ransomware, phishing, CEO fraud, W-2 phishing attacks, spam and viruses in email with multi-layer filtering techniques. Accuracy in protecting organizations from email threats is increased further with automated traffic analysis, machine learning and real-time threat analysis. The solution is available as a cloud-based service in a variety of bundles. Information Archive is a low-cost, cloud-based email retention solution that easily enables user retrieval, compliance and eDiscovery. Available as a standalone or add-on solution for other products, Zix's Information Archive includes policy-based retention, automatic indexing and flexible search capabilities for audit and legal requirements. With on-demand access through the cloud, organizations can conveniently share messages with employees, auditors and outside consultants or legal counsel, as well as revoke access when needed. InApril 2018 , Zix acquired Erado, a unified archiving company. Erado strengthened Zix's comprehensive archiving solutions with unified archiving, supervision, security, and messaging solutions for customers that demand bundled services. Erado's long standing focus on helping its customers comply withFINRA andSEC regulations helped further strengthen Zix's offerings for customers with compliance requirements. This acquisition also expanded Zix's cloud-based email archiving capabilities into more than 50 content channels, including social media, instant message, mobile, web, audio and video. OnFebruary 20, 2019 , Zix acquiredAppRiver , a leading provider of cloud-based cybersecurity solutions for Small and Medium Businesses ("SMB"). The combined company creates one of the leading cloud-based security solutions providers, particularly for the small and mid-size enterprise market. This acquisition further strengthened that alignment by bolstering our Advanced Threat Protection offerings, expanding our go-to-market channels, and providing a stronger cloud platform to drive even more value for our customers and partners. In addition, we now can directly offer Microsoft's substantial catalog of productivity and Microsoft Office 365 cloud email solutions.
On
OnNovember 5, 2020 , Zix acquired CloudAlly, a pioneer of enterprise-grade, software-as-a-service (SaaS) cloud backup and recovery solutions. CloudAlly provides a secure cloud data backup solution for critical business information, including backup services for Microsoft O365 cloud email, Google applications, and Salesforce. Our business operations and service offerings are supported by the ZixData Center™, which is ISO 27001 certified, SOC2 accredited and SOC 3 certified for applicable services. The operations of the ZixData Center are independently audited annually to maintain ISO 27001 certification covering numerous categories and controls and AICPA SOC3 certification in the areas of security, confidentiality, integrity and availability. Auditors also produce a SOC2 report on the effectiveness of operational controls used over the audit period. Our company was incorporated as a corporation inTexas in 1988. Originally namedAmtech Corporation , we changed our name to ZixIt® Corporation in 1999 when we entered the encrypted email market. In 2002, we becameZix Corporation , and in 2017, the Company rebranded to Zix.
Impacts of COVID-19
InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus ("COVID-19") to be a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in significant, unpredictable, and rapidly changing impacts onthe United States and global economies. The COVID-19 pandemic and government responses have included limiting the operations of non-essential businesses and may result in long-term harm or permanent closures impacting our customers and our vendors. While COVID-19 had a minimal impact to our first, second and third quarter 2021 financial results, Zix has taken steps to ensure the resilience of our company, while protecting the email security of our customers and the health of our employees, including the following actions:
• Offering healthy email checks and evaluating other efficiency solutions
for our customers;
• Working with partners and customers to provide more flexible billing
schedules;
• Initially moving over 95% of our employees to remote work arrangements
then moving toward a predominantly hybrid approach to work arrangements
while maintaining the integrity of our data center operations and
providing continued support for our customers;
22
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Maintaining effective governance and internal controls in a remote work
environment;
• Reducing executive salaries and fees to our Board of Directors in 2020;
• Implementing a reduction in force in both 2020 and 2021, completed through
both voluntary and involuntary separation;
• Slowing our hiring plans, and reducing planned travel and conference
expenses; and
• Continued review and adjustment of other operating expenses for potential
savings, including reduction of excess capacities in our network data
centers;
We have continued to provide our cloud email security, productivity and
compliance solutions services to our customers and vendors during this ongoing
pandemic. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or variants
thereof, on the Company's operational and financial performance is currently
uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company's control,
including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of
the pandemic, or variants thereof, the development and availability of effective
treatments and vaccines, the imposition of protective public safety measures,
and the impact of the pandemic and its variants on the global economy, demand
for consumer products, and the labor market competition resulting in increased
employee turnover. See the additional risk factor regarding COVID-19 included in
Part I - Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2020 .
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions take into account historical and forward-looking factors that the Company believes are reasonable, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from COVID-19, or variants thereof, and public and private sector policies and initiatives aimed at reducing its transmission. As the extent and duration of the impacts of COVID-19, and variants thereof, remain unclear, the Company's estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results and require management's most subjective judgments. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 . We discuss our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 .

Revenues
Our Company provides subscription-based services. The following table sets forth the quarter-over-quarter comparison of the Company's revenues:
Three Months Ended 3-month Variance Nine Months ended 9-month Variance
September 30, 2021 vs. 2020 September 30, 2021 vs. 2020
(in thousands) 2021 2020 $ % 2021 2020 $ %
Revenues $ 64,850 $ 54,840 $ 10,010 18 % $ 187,694 $ 160,611 $ 27,083 17 %
Our revenue increase is the result of 14% and 12% growth in our core business in
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 , respectively, due to
continued success in our subscription-based business model with both steady
additions to the subscriber base and a high rate of existing customer renewals
and the realization of previously contracted revenue in our backlog. Our
CloudAlly business, acquired in November 2020 , additionally contributed $2.1
million and $7.0 million in revenue to our three and nine months ended September
30, 2021 , respectively. Additionally, with continued expansion into Europe , our
German subsidiary, launched in the second quarter of 2021, contributed $92
thousand and $329 thousand of revenue in our three and nine months ended
September 30, 2021 , respectively.
Annual Recurring Revenue
We measure the health of our subscriber base by the growth of our Annual
Recurring Revenue ("ARR"), which is defined as the aggregate annualized contract
value attributable to recurring revenue contracts as of the end of the
applicable reporting period. We calculate ARR by determining the annual or
monthly revenue of subscription agreements that are active as of the end of the
applicable period and multiplying by 1 or 12. ARR aids us in determining to what
extent individual customer relationships, considered in the aggregate, are
growing or declining in financial magnitude. ARR is summarized in the table
below:
Variance
As of September 30, 2021 vs. 2020
(in thousands) 2021 2020 $ %
Annual Recurring Revenue $ 262,813 $ 222,335 $ 40,478 18 %
Backlog
Our end-user order backlog is comprised of contractually binding agreements that
we expect to amortize into revenue as the services are performed. The timing of
revenue is affected by both the length of time required to deploy a service and
the length of the service contract.
As of September 30, 2021 , total backlog was $82.8 million , and we expect
approximately 76% of the total backlog, or approximately $63.0 million , to be
recognized as revenue during the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2021 ,
the backlog was comprised of the following elements: $42.5 million of deferred
revenue that has been billed and paid, $12.9 million billed but unpaid, and
approximately $27.4 million of unbilled contracts. The backlog at September 30,
2021 , was 3% lower than the $85.0 million backlog at the end of the third
quarter 2020, and 1% lower than the ending backlog of $83.4 million at
December 31, 2020 . Our decrease in backlog is the result of timing of our
customer contracts and our continued shift toward a monthly subscription model.

The following table sets forth the quarter-over-quarter comparison of the cost
of revenues:
Three Months Ended 3-month Variance Nine Months ended 9-month Variance

Cost of revenues $ 36,219 $ 27,928 $ 8,291 30 % $ 103,961 $ 82,265 $ 21,696 26 %
Cost of revenues is comprised of costs related to operating and maintaining the
ZixData Center, a field deployment team, customer service and support, Microsoft
fees associated with the resale of Microsoft Office365 and hosted exchange
products, and the amortization of Company-owned, customer-based computer
appliances. The increases in 2021 compared to 2020 reflected in the table above
result from our sales of Microsoft Office365 and hosted exchange products, which
comprise 54% and 53% of total Company revenue earned in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2021 , respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
The following table sets forth the quarter-over-quarter comparison of our research and development expenses:
Three Months Ended 3-month Variance Nine Months ended 9-month Variance

Research and development
expenses $ 6,429 $ 5,720 $ 709 12 %$ 19,371 $ 16,926 $ 2,445 14 % Research and development expenses consist primarily of salary, benefits, and stock-based compensation for our development staff, independent development contractor expenses, amortization of internally developed software, and other direct and indirect costs associated with enhancing our existing products and services and developing new products and services. The increase in 2021 compared to 2020 reflected in the table above resulted primarily from the amortization of previously capitalized internal use software due to project completions.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
The following table sets forth the quarter-over-quarter comparison of our selling and marketing expenses:
Three Months Ended 3-month Variance Nine Months ended 9-month Variance
September 30, 2021 vs. 2020 September 30, 2021 vs. 2020

Selling and marketing
expenses$ 15,657 $ 13,489 $ 2,168 16 %$ 46,225 $ 42,288 $ 3,937 9 % Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salary, commissions, travel, stock-based compensation and employee benefits for selling and marketing personnel as well as costs associated with promotional activities and advertising. The increase in the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , compared to the same period in 2020, was due primarily to increases in stock-based compensation, higher commission expense, increased amortization of intangible customer assets related to our CloudAlly acquisition, and additional credit card fees attributable to increased monthly billings. The increase in the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , compared to the same period in 2020, resulted primarily from increases in stock-based compensation, commission expense, credit card fees, and amortization of intangible customer assets.
General and Administrative Expenses
The following table sets forth the quarter-over-quarter comparison of our general and administrative expenses:
Three Months Ended 3-month Variance Nine Months ended 9-month Variance

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and bonuses, travel, stock-based compensation and benefits for administrative and executive personnel as well as fees for professional services and other general corporate activities. The increase in the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , compared with the same period in 2020, resulted primarily from increases in our stock-based compensation expense and in our salaries and benefits, offset by decreases in acquisition-related expenses.
The increase in the nine months ended
Other Income (Expense)
Our other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense associated with our debt. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded interest expense of$2.2 million and$2.0 million , respectively. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded interest expense of$6.5 million and$7.2 million , respectively. AtSeptember 30, 2021 , our outstanding debt balance was$211.1 million based on 4.09% effective interest rate during the period. See above Note 7 "Long-term Debt" for additional information regarding our debt.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was a$113 thousand benefit and a$1.2 million tax expense for the three month periods endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and a$568 thousand and a$244 thousand benefit for each of the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The operating losses incurred by the Company'sU.S. operations in past years and the resulting net operating losses forU.S. Federal income tax purposes are subject to a$22.9 million reserve because of the uncertainty of future taxable income levels sufficient to utilize our net operating losses and credits. OurSeptember 30, 2021 , provision benefit of$568 thousand included$1.1 million deferred taxes benefit, offset by state taxes payable based on gross revenues. OurSeptember 30, 2020 , provision benefit of$244 thousand included$76 thousand in deferred taxes, and a$337 thousand tax benefit related to the return of federal Alternative Minimum Tax credits, all of which was offset by state taxes then payable based on gross revenues. No tax penalty-related charges were accrued or recognized for the nine month periods endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, we have not taken a tax position that would have a material effect on our financial statements or our effective tax rate for the nine-month period endedSeptember 30, 2021 . We are currently subject to a three-year statute of limitations by major tax jurisdictions. AtSeptember 30, 2021 , the Company partially reserved itsU.S. net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of future taxable income being sufficient to utilize net loss carryforwards prior to their expiration, as noted above. The Company did not reserve$33.7 million of itsU.S. net deferred tax assets. The majority of this unreserved portion related to$25.5 million inU.S. net operating losses ("NOLs") because we believe the Company will generate sufficient taxable income in future years to utilize these NOLs prior to their expiration. The remaining balance consists of$6.7 million relating to temporary differences between GAAP and tax-related expense, Federal R&D credits of$1.9 million , and$873 thousand relating toU.S. state income tax credits and net operating loss carryovers. These items are offset by a$1.3 million Israeli deferred tax liability. Any reduction or increase to the$22.9 million valuation allowance related to our deferred tax asset would be based on an assessment of future utilization following accounting guidance, which relies largely on historical and projected earnings. For this reason, the Company has recognized its first, second and third quarter 2021 federal deferred tax provision in full. If in future periods we conclude our futureU.S. federal taxable estimate established at the end of the year will either fail to meet or exceed the prior year estimate, the Company will offset its federal deferred tax provision by increasing or reducing its valuation allowance accordingly by an equal amount, thereby eliminating from its deferred tax provision federal taxes from the Company's financial statements. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset. In assessing the need for such an allowance, we consider all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. The Company will continue to reevaluate the need for its valuation allowance each quarter, following the same assessment methodology described above. An increase or decrease to our valuation allowance could have a significant impact on operating results for each period during which it becomes more likely than not that an additional portion of our deferred tax assets will or will not be realized. We have determined that utilization of existing net operating losses against future taxable income is not currently subject to limitation by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Future ownership changes, however, may limit the Company's ability to fully utilize its existing net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income. AtSeptember 30, 2021 , the Company hadU.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately$232 million , which begin to expire in 2021. 26
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , of$2.4 million was an increase of$1.7 million compared to our net loss of$725 thousand for the same period last year. The increase in our net loss was primarily due to increases in our operating expenses, offset by increased revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Based on our performance over the last four quarters and current expectations, including our assessment of the COVID-19 pandemic's potential impact to our Company, we believe our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and availability under our$25 million Revolving Facility (which was undrawn as ofSeptember 30, 2021 and available to fund working capital and for other general corporate purposes, including the financing of permitted acquisitions, investments, and restricted payments, subject, in both cases, to the conditions contained in the Credit Agreement) will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, investment requirements, contractual obligations, commitments, and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations through at least the next twelve months. We plan for and measure our liquidity and capital resources through an annual budgeting process and quarterly reviews, and we will continue to monitor our position to protect our Company against uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first nine months of 2021, net cash provided by operations was$35.5 million , an increase of$11.3 million compared with the$24.2 million of net cash provided by operations in the first nine months of 2020. AtSeptember 30, 2021 , our cash and cash equivalents totaled$39.0 million , an increase of$17.6 million from theDecember 31, 2020 balance, and we had outstanding debt of$211.1 million .
