[removed: - The] [added: We face intense competition in] markets in which we [removed: participate are highly competitive,] [added: operate] and if we do not compete effectively, [added: we may lose customers and] our business and operating results could be adversely [removed: affected.][added: affected.]
- The migration of our customers to our Vault CRM applications built on our own Veeva Vault platform could cause business disruptions for [removed: customers, lead to the loss of our] customers [removed: to competitors,] and adversely affect our operating results.
- Nearly all of our revenues are generated by sales to customers in the life sciences industry, and factors that adversely affect this industry (including [removed: regulatory, funding,] [added: government funding and staffing of relevant agencies and research, drug pricing regulation, healthcare funding and eligibility reforms, regulation of pharmaceutical advertising,] or [added: other regulatory or] policy changes) could also adversely affect us.
- Uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, including as a result of [removed: worldwide inflationary pressures and] changes in [removed: interest rates, currency exchange fluctuations, changes in] trade policies and practices (including the imposition of [removed: tariffs)] [added: additional tariffs] or [added: threats to impose additional tariffs), worldwide inflationary pressures, currency exchange fluctuations, changes in interest rates or] other economic policies, geopolitical conflicts (like the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the [removed: regional] conflict in the Middle East), and concerns about a possible domestic or global recession, may cause instability in the global economy, and disruptions within the life sciences industry that may negatively impact our business, our financial results, and our stock price.

We may suffer damages, which could be significant, or other harm from these [removed: lawsuits and we may be sued for infringement or misappropriation of third-party intellectual property in the future.][added: lawsuits.]
It is possible that our risk of cyberattacks and other sources of security breaches and incidents may be elevated as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the [removed: regional] conflict in the Middle East, or other geopolitical tensions or conflicts, due to an increase in cyberattack attempts on us, our customers, our partners, or our technology infrastructure providers.
For instance, as [removed: artificial intelligence (AI)] [added: AI] technologies, including generative AI models, develop rapidly, threat actors are using these technologies to create sophisticated new attack methods that are increasingly automated, targeted, coordinated, and difficult to defend against.

[added: Our insurance may not be] adequate to cover losses associated with such events, and such insurance may not cover all of the types of costs, expenses, and losses we could incur to respond to and remediate a security breach or incident.
[removed: The] [added: - We face intense competition in] markets in which we [removed: participate are highly competitive, and] [added: operate—particularly in the CRM market as we transition customers from our legacy CRM application to our Vault CRM application—and] if we do not compete effectively, [added: we may lose customers and] our business and operating results could be adversely [removed: affected.][added: affected.]
Our CRM solutions primarily compete with Salesforce, Inc., which [removed: is developing] [added: has developed] a life sciences industry-specific CRM [removed: application and has entered into a partnership with IQVIA Holdings, which also offers various data products and other applications that compete with our products.][added: application.]
Our customers may also choose to use cloud-based applications or platforms that are not life sciences specific—such as Salesforce, [removed: Inc.,] Box.com, Amazon Web Services, or Microsoft—for certain of the functions our applications provide.
For example, Salesforce, our primary CRM competitor, [removed: recently] [added: has] announced that [removed: a] [added: certain] large Veeva CRM [removed: customer has] [added: customers have] committed to purchasing its CRM [removed: solutions.][added: solutions and a number of our customers have informed us of their intent to move to Salesforce as their CRM provider.]
If our [added: actual or potential] competitors’ products, services, or technologies become more accepted than our solutions, if they are successful in bringing their products or services to market earlier than we are, if their products or services are more technologically capable than ours (including as a result of new or better use of evolving AI technologies), or if customers replace our solutions with custom-built software, then our revenues could be adversely affected.
We cannot be certain that we will be successful with respect to newer [removed: solutions] [added: solutions, including AI technologies,] and markets.

In [added: each of] our fiscal years ended January 31, [added: 2026,] 2025, [removed: 2024,] and [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] our top 10 customers accounted for [removed: 28%, 28%, and 29%] [added: 28%] of our total [removed: revenues, respectively.][added: revenues.]
In addition, we have experienced, and may in the future experience, service disruptions, degradations, outages, and other performance [removed: problems.][added: problems, including from routine maintenance.]
[removed: The occurrence of any of these events could result in diminishing demand for our] solutions, a reduction of our revenues, an increase in our bad debt expense or in collection cycles for accounts receivable, or could require us to incur the expense of litigation or substantial liability.
The migration of our CRM customers to our Vault CRM applications built on our own Veeva Vault platform could cause business disruptions for [removed: customers, lead to the loss of our] customers [removed: to competitors,] and adversely affect our operating results.
We [removed: currently depend on] [added: use] the Salesforce platform to deliver our Veeva CRM application, but we have begun to migrate our CRM customers to our Vault CRM solutions, which are built on our Veeva Vault platform.
Veeva CRM will be supported until [removed: September 1, 2030.][added: December 31, 2029.]
Any disruptions in our services or other migration-related problems, whether or not such incidents are our fault, [removed: that] could subject us to liability or harm our reputation.
If we are unsuccessful migrating our Veeva CRM customers to Vault CRM, [added: or] encounter [removed: disruptions] [added: disruptions, delays,] or other problems in the migration process, [removed: or] our [removed: customers do not migrate to the Vault CRM in a timely manner, or at all, our] business, operating results, and brand could be materially and adversely affected.

For example, we have [removed: recently] experienced increased scrutiny for certain potential projects, particularly for our professional services offerings, which may continue for the foreseeable future.
In our fiscal year ended January 31, [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] customers outside North America accounted for approximately [removed: 41%] [added: 40%] of our total revenues.
Our experience in the United States and other international markets in which we already have a presence may not be relevant to our ability to expand in [removed: other markets.]
Our [removed: international expansion] efforts may not be successful in creating further demand for our solutions outside of the United States or in effectively selling our solutions in the international markets we enter.
- changes in diplomatic relations and trade policy, including the status of relations between the United States and other countries, including China and Russia, and the implementation [removed: of] or [removed: changes to] [added: threatened implementation of tariffs,] export controls, trade sanctions, [removed: tariffs,] and embargoes, including if the United States and other countries were to impose more significant general sanctions against Russia in response to the continuing conflict in Ukraine, which could ban the use of our products by companies or users in Russia;
- unstable regional and economic political conditions or armed conflicts in the markets in which we operate, including as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the [removed: regional] conflict in the Middle East.
[removed: Even if we are able to successfully manage the risks of international operations, our business may be adversely] affected if our business partners are not able to successfully manage these risks, which could adversely affect our business.
In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane, or other natural disaster, or catastrophic event such as an actual or threatened public health emergency (e.g., a global pandemic), fire, extreme weather event, power loss, telecommunications failure, cyberattack, armed conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the [removed: regional] conflict in the Middle East), or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations at full capacity or at all and may experience system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our solution development, lengthy interruptions in our services, breaches [removed: of data security, loss of key employees, and loss of critical data, all of which could have an adverse effect on our future operating results.]
We may not be able to successfully integrate the acquired personnel, operations, and [removed: technologies] [added: technologies,] or effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition.
- the possibility of investigation by, or the failure to obtain required approvals from, governmental authorities on a timely basis, if at all, under various regulatory schemes, including competition laws, [added: which could, among other things, delay or prevent us from completing a transaction, subject the transaction to divestiture after the fact, or otherwise restrict our ability to realize the expected financial or strategic goals of the acquisition.]
[removed: In the future, if our] acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
[removed: Moreover, negative] [added: Negative] publicity related to our customer [removed: relationships,] [added: relationships or satisfaction with our services,] regardless of its accuracy, may further damage our business by affecting our ability to compete for new business with current and prospective customers.
Our estimate of the market size for our solutions that we have provided publicly, sometimes referred to as total addressable market [removed: (TAM),] [added: (“TAM”),] is subject to significant uncertainty and is based on assumptions and estimates, including our internal analysis and industry experience, which may not prove to be accurate.

- *Changes in trade policy or geopolitical conditions that impact the life sciences industry, changes in the ability to sell healthcare treatments in certain locations, and the global availability of healthcare treatments provided by the life sciences companies to which we sell*—Tariffs imposed on the end products of the life sciences industry or on inputs relevant to the life sciences industry could increase costs for our customers or reduce demand for their products, which could delay or reduce their IT spending.
The imposition of tariffs or other trade measures could also provoke retaliatory responses from affected countries, including the imposition of digital services taxes, consumer boycotts resulting in depressed demand for products of the United States, or other measures that could negatively impact our business, operations, or financial condition.
If we are unable to effectively manage this increased complexity or if we are not able to provide solutions that can be
We also process personal data as part of the Veeva Data Cloud offerings, which provide our customers with professionally relevant data related to healthcare providers and other industry professionals and stakeholders.
In addition, we process personal data to provide services that allow healthcare marketers to reach their target audiences and to measure the impact of their media campaigns.
In some cases, the personal data that we process includes sensitive personal data, such as health data.
In China, we are regulated under China’s Personal Information Protection Law (“PIPL”), where we process data as an entrusted party on behalf of our customers who operate as data handlers.
In certain cases, we are regulated under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) that covers protected health information collected or maintained by covered entities and their business associates.
Additionally, many states in the U.S. have passed comprehensive privacy legislation, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (amended by the California Privacy Rights Act).
Some states in the U.S. also have passed legislation governing the processing of particular types of data, such as biometric data and certain other health-related data.
These laws and regulations impose data subject notice or transparency requirements, mandated privacy and security standards, and registration obligations.
They also grant rights to data subjects, such as allowing them to access, correct, delete, or opt out of the sale or sharing of their information.
We also rely on standard contractual clauses in various jurisdictions, such as the EU, Switzerland, the UK, and Brazil, as well as our technical, contractual, and security measures.
countries).
Additionally, the French governmental agency for health mandates a certification requiring that personal health data collected during healthcare activities be stored exclusively within the European Economic Area.
The EU Data Act, which came into effect September 12, 2025, allows our EU customers to cancel their subscriptions without cause upon providing the notice and after the transition period specified by the Act.
Furthermore, new and evolving regulations relating to the use of data in AI and machine learning technologies, such as the EU AI Act, are creating an increasingly complex and fragmented regulatory framework.
Veeva AI, an initiative that adds AI to our applications across all major areas, including clinical, regulatory, safety, quality, medical, and commercial, presents new risks and challenges that could affect the adoption of our solutions and our business.
We may also use AI for research and development and other internal operational use cases, including the use of AI-enabled processes.
The legal, regulatory, and policy environments around AI are evolving rapidly, such as the EU AI Act and legislation proposed and adopted in certain states in the U.S., and we

However, we have begun to migrate our Veeva CRM customers to Vault CRM, which is built on our Veeva Vault platform.
trademarks and we do not remedy such infringement in accordance with the agreement.
If the Salesforce platform for Veeva CRM becomes unavailable earlier than we anticipate, our business and operations would be adversely affected.
In addition, pursuant to the EU Data Act, which came into effect September 12, 2025, our EU customers may cancel their subscriptions without cause upon providing the notice and after the transition period specified by the Act.
- data acquisition costs associated with our Veeva Compass offering and costs incurred with our use of large language models associated with our Veeva AI offering;
may not be completely reflected in deferred revenue at any single point in time.
For example, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes significant tax provisions such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), modifications to the international tax framework and restoration of immediate expensing for domestic research and development expenditures, which were previously required to be capitalized and amortized over five years under TCJA.
Changes in the interpretation or implementation of this new law have impacted in the past and may impact in the future the calculation of our tax payments and our financial results.
For example, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) continues to implement reforms to the international tax system, including a 15% global minimum effective corporate tax rate referred to as Pillar Two.
- If the third-party providers of healthcare professional and healthcare organization data and prescription drug sales data, such as IQVIA for instance, do not allow our customers to upload and use such data in our solutions, the demand for our solutions may decrease, and our business may be negatively impacted.
- We are currently being sued by third parties for alleged misappropriation of trade secrets.

Further, certain customers have decided, and other customers may in the future decide, not to migrate to Vault CRM and use a different CRM solution, including a CRM solution provided by Salesforce.
which could, among other things, delay or prevent us from completing a transaction, subject the transaction to divestiture after the fact, or otherwise restrict our ability to realize the expected financial or strategic goals of the acquisition.
Patient data may include sensitive health data.
We may be subject to increased costs of compliance and limitations on our service providers and us.
For example, in May 2023, the Irish Data Protection Commission imposed a significant fine on a large internet technology corporation for its failure to sufficiently address risks to EU data subjects when transferring data to the U.S.
For example, in 2021, China adopted the Personal Information Protection Law, which, together with the Cybersecurity Law and the Data Security Law, require companies that process personal data of China residents above certain thresholds to seek approval from the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) to transfer such data outside of China.
In 2023, certain of our Veeva CRM customers in China were required to request such approval from the CAC and had their requests denied.
Customers required to request approval may need to implement a CRM solution that does not require data to be transferred outside of China and customers not subject to the requirement may nonetheless choose to do so.
Currently, approximately 2% of our total revenue is attributable to China.
In the United States, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has promulgated privacy and security rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) that cover protected health information (PHI) by limiting use and disclosure and giving individuals the right to access, amend, and seek accounting of disclosures of their PHI.
Certain of our customers may be either business associates or covered entities under HIPAA, which means we must maintain a HIPAA compliance program.
There is also the potential for the U.S. federal government to pass additional data privacy laws.
U.S. federal and state data privacy laws are rapidly evolving.
These laws impose new and modify existing obligations on businesses that collect personal information, create new privacy rights for individuals, and contain enhanced requirements for and restrictions on data brokers.
For example, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended, we are generally considered a “service provider” for our software solutions and a “business” for our data products.
Veeva Crossix’s data platform combines large-scale data sets, inclusive of de-identified health and consumer data, to provide insights, analytics, and audience segmentation for our life sciences customers in the U.S. In response to the Washington law, we made modifications to our audience segments that may reduce demand for our Crossix products, which, in turn, could adversely impact the business.
We recently began incorporating AI capabilities into certain of our solutions, which presents new risks and challenges that could affect the adoption of our solutions and our business.
If the third-party providers of healthcare professional and healthcare organization data and prescription drug sales data do not allow our customers to upload and use such data in our solutions, the demand for our solutions may decrease, and our business may be negatively impacted.
Many of our customers license healthcare professional and healthcare organization data and data regarding the sales of prescription drugs from third parties such as IQVIA.
In order for our customers to upload such data to the Veeva CRM, Veeva Network, Veeva Nitro, and other Veeva applications, such third-party data providers typically must consent to such uploads and often require that we enter into agreements regarding our obligations with respect to such data, which include confidentiality obligations and intellectual property rights with respect to such third-party data.
We have experienced delays and difficulties in our negotiations with such third-party data providers in the past, and we expect to continue experiencing difficulties in the future.
For instance, IQVIA currently will not consent that customers using its healthcare professional or healthcare organization data may upload such data to Veeva Network and this has negatively affected sales and customer adoption of Veeva Network.
To date, IQVIA has also restricted customers from uploading any of its data to Veeva Nitro, and has denied use of its data with certain other Veeva applications and for certain other use cases.
In addition, IQVIA has stated publicly that it will deny all customer requests for use of new IQVIA data types in Veeva applications, including, as examples, real world data, real world evidence, and genomics.
Similarly, sales and customer adoption of Veeva OpenData has been negatively impacted by certain restrictions on the use of IQVIA data during customer transitions from IQVIA data to Veeva OpenData.
If third-party data providers, particularly IQVIA, do not consent to the uploading and use of their data in our solutions, delay consent, or fail to offer reasonable conditions for the upload and use of their data in our solutions, our sales efforts, solution implementations, and productive use of our solutions by customers, which have been harmed by such actions in the past, may continue to be harmed.
Restrictions on the ability of our customers to use third-party data in our solutions may also decrease demand for our solutions or may cause customers to consider purchasing solutions that are not subject to the same restrictions.
If these third-party data limitations persist, our business may be negatively impacted.

platform for our Veeva CRM application.
However, we have begun to migrate our Veeva CRM customers to Vault CRM, which is built on our Veeva Vault platform, and we do not intend to renew our agreement with Salesforce, Inc. when the current term expires on September 1, 2025.
On May 1, 2023, as allowed by the terms of our agreement, Salesforce Inc. terminated certain competition restrictions imposed by the agreement.
Per the terms of the agreement, termination of those non-competition obligations by Salesforce, Inc. released us from our minimum order commitments in the future.
Under the terms of our current agreement, Salesforce, Inc. is no longer prohibited from promoting third-party products that are competitive to Veeva CRM, treating another third party as a "preferred" vendor of a CRM solution in the pharma and biotech market, or developing or promoting a product that competes with Veeva CRM.
For example, Salesforce, Inc. is developing a life sciences industry-specific CRM application that will compete with our offerings and has entered into a partnership with IQVIA.
In addition, current or potential customers may choose a competitor, such as Salesforce or IQVIA, or build their own custom solutions on the Salesforce platform rather than buy from us.

Professional services and other revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 increased $49 million.
The increase was primarily due to an increase in business consulting and implementation services.
| Cost of subscription | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 362,888 | | | | | $ | 323,070 | | | | | 12% | | |
The $42 million increase in cost of professional services and other was primarily related to employee compensation-related costs, which was driven by increases in salaries and benefits, as well as headcount.
The increase in cost of subscription was primarily due to an increase of $36 million related to computing infrastructure and data costs.
The increase in
The increase in data costs is related to our continued investment in our data solutions.

Share Repurchase Program
In January 2026, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $2 billion of our outstanding shares of common stock.
Under the program, we may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions, including Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act.
The timing and total amount of any share repurchases depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations.
The share repurchase program has a term of two years, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to acquire any amount of common stock.
Any repurchased shares of common stock will be retired.
The repurchase program will be funded using our working capital.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, we repurchased and subsequently retired 801,735 shares of our common stock for an aggregate amount of approximately $180 million.
Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2026 and 2025
As a result, we expect cash flows from operating activities to be substantially less in each of the subsequent quarters of the fiscal year.
The OBBBA restored the option to deduct certain domestic research and development expenditures, which were previously required to be capitalized and amortized over five years under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
Additionally, the OBBBA provides for an election to accelerate the deduction of unamortized capitalized domestic research and development expenditures from fiscal years ended January 31, 2023 to January 31, 2025.

Professional services and other revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 remained flat compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024 due to a decline in implementation services, offset by an increase in business consulting services.
| Cost of subscription services | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 323,070 | | | | | $ | 290,577 | | | | | 11% | | |
The decrease in cost of professional services and other was mainly due to lower utilization of third-party services, and reduction in employee related costs in our implementation and deployment-related activities.
The increase in employee compensation-related costs was primarily driven by an increase in headcount and the increase in technology and infrastructure costs was primarily driven by higher hosting fees.
The increase in employee compensation-related costs was primarily driven by stock-based compensation related to the equity grant to our Chief Executive Officer in June 2024.
We expect an increase in general and administrative expenses in the near term, primarily related to the stock-based compensation associated with the equity grant to our Chief Executive Officer discussed above.
Foreign Currency
We experience foreign currency fluctuations due to the periodic re-measurement of balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities in which they are recorded.
The results of operations and cash flows are also subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly in the Euro, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, Great British Pound Sterling, and Chinese Yuan.
The decrease in excess tax benefits during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 was primarily due to stock option exercises by our Chief Executive Officer in the prior year and none in the current year.
Our management also finds it useful to exclude excess tax benefits when assessing the level of cash provided by operating activities.
- Litigation settlement.

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.
If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Note that our net income reflects the impact of excess tax benefits related to equity compensation.
In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, cash payments for income taxes in relation to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures and required taxpayers to capitalize and amortize them over five or fifteen years, reduced our cash flows from operating activities.

California Non-Compete Matter
On July 17, 2017, we filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California in the County of Alameda against Medidata, IQVIA, and Sparta Systems, Inc. (Veeva Systems Inc. v.
Medidata Solutions, Inc., Quintiles IMS Incorporated, IMS Software Services, LTD., and Sparta Systems, Inc., Case No. RG17868081).
Our lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief concerning the use of non-compete, confidentiality, and non-disparagement agreements by these companies.
Since the original complaint was filed, there have been extensive requests to the court for rulings on contested questions.
On June 9, 2023, IQVIA, the only defendant remaining in the case, filed a counter-complaint seeking a declaration that its non-compete agreements comply with California law.
On March 25, 2024, the trial court judge set a trial date of June 16, 2025 on the consolidated claims.

(2) On January 5, 2026, we announced that our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $2 billion of our outstanding shares of common stock.
Under the program, we may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, and other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws.
The share repurchase program has a term of two years, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to acquire any amount of common stock.

When the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost, the amortized cost will be reduced to its fair value and the resulting loss will be recorded in other income, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, if it is more likely than not that we are required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or we have the intention to sell the security.
If neither of these criteria are met, we further assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost is due to credit or non-credit related factors.
In making this assessment, we consider the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, credit ratings, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors.
Credit related losses are recorded as an allowance on the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding charge in other income, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): *Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software*, which modernizes the recognition and capitalization framework for internal-use software development costs in order to reflect current software development practices.
The amendments also require Subtopic 360-10 disclosures for all capitalized internal-use software costs.
The Company will early adopt ASU 2025-06 in the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2026 on a prospective basis.
We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-06 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We evaluate our investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired.
We consider impairments to be other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely we will sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): *Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.
We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.
