Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks SEMrush Holdings, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 2, 2026: 49 risks under these headings, as written.5
- Risks Related to the Proposed Acquisition by Adobe
- The pending transaction with Adobe may be delayed or not occur at all for a variety of reasons, including that the Merger Agreement (as defined below) is terminated, and the failure to complete the Merger (as defined below) could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the market price of our common stock.
- Efforts to complete the Merger could disrupt our relationships with third parties and employees, divert management’s attention, or result in negative publicity or legal proceedings, any of which could negatively impact our operating results and ongoing business.
- While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.
- Litigation has arisen, and more could arise, in connection with the Merger; such litigation against us could result in substantial costs, an injunction preventing the completion of the Merger and/or a judgment resulting in the payment of damages.
- Other Most Material Risks to Us
- We derive, and expect to continue to derive, substantially all of our revenue and cash flows from our paying customers with premium subscriptions, and our business and operating results may be negatively affected if our paying customers do not renew their premium subscriptions.
- Our business and operating results may be negatively affected if our paying customers do not upgrade and/or retain their premium subscriptions or if they fail to purchase additional products.
- If we fail to attract new potential customers, register them for free trials, and convert them into paying customers, our operating results would be negatively affected. Additionally, our sales expenses may increase and our average sales cycles may lengthen and become less predictable as our customer base continues to expand to include larger enterprise customers.
- The market in which we operate is intensely competitive, and if we do not innovate and compete effectively, our ability to attract and retain customers could be harmed, which would negatively impact our business and operating results.
- We have incurred losses in the past and may not consistently maintain profitability in the future.
- Our platform and products depend in part on publicly available, internally developed, and paid third-party data sources, and, if we lose access to data provided by such data sources or the terms and conditions on which we obtain such access become less favorable, our business could suffer.
The other 39 risks
- Risks Related to Our Business
- Our ability to introduce new products, tools, and add-ons is dependent on adequate research and development resources. If we do not adequately fund our research and development efforts or use product and development teams effectively, our business and operating results may be harmed.
- If we are unable to maintain and enhance our brand, or if events occur that damage our reputation and brand, our ability to maintain and expand our customer base may be impaired, and our business and financial results may be harmed.
- We depend on our executive officers and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of these employees could harm our business.
- Changes by search engines, artificial intelligence services, social networking sites, and other third-party services to their underlying technology configurations or policies regarding the use of their platforms and/or technologies for commercial purposes, including anti-spam policies, may limit the efficacy of certain of our products, tools, and add-ons and as a result, our business may suffer.
- If third-party applications change such that we do not or cannot maintain the compatibility of our platform with these applications or if we fail to integrate with or provide third-party applications that our customers desire to use with our products, demand for our solutions and platform could decline.
- If we fail to maintain and improve our methods and technologies, or fail to anticipate new methods or technologies for data collection and analysis, hardware, software, and software-related technologies, competing products and services could surpass ours in depth, breadth, or accuracy of our data, the insights that we offer or in other respects, which could result in a loss of customers, impact our ability to acquire new customers, and harm our business and financial results.
- If we fail to anticipate and adapt to new and increasingly prevalent social media platforms, and the growing use of artificial intelligence platforms, other competing products and services that do so more effectively could surpass us and lead to decreased demand for our platform and products.
- Failures or loss of, or material changes with respect to, the third-party hardware, software, and infrastructure on which we rely, including third-party data center hosting facilities and third-party distribution channels to support our operations, could adversely affect our business.
- If the security of the confidential information or personal information of our customers on our platform is breached or otherwise subjected to unauthorized access or disclosure, our reputation may be harmed, and we may be exposed to significant liability.
- Technical problems or disruptions that affect either our customers’ (and their users’) ability to access our platform and products, or the software, internal applications, database, and network systems underlying our platform and products, could damage our reputation and brands, lead to reduced demand for our platform and products, lower revenues, and increased costs.
- The use of artificial intelligence and other new and evolving technologies in our offerings and operations may result in spending material resources and presents risks and challenges that can impact our business including by posing security and other risks to our confidential information, proprietary information and personal information, and as a result we may be exposed to reputational harm and liability.
- We are exposed to risks associated with payment processing and any disruption to such processing systems could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
- A significant portion of our operations is located outside of the United States, which subjects us to additional risks, including increased complexity, the costs of managing international operations, geopolitical instability, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
- Adverse or weakened general economic and market conditions may reduce spending on sales and marketing technology and information technology, which could harm our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows.
- As we acquire and invest in companies or technologies, we may not realize expected business or financial benefits and the acquisitions or investments could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
- We may be subject to litigation for any of a variety of claims, which could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
- Our failure to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new technologies in the future could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm our results of operations.
- Increases in labor costs, including wages, and an overall tightening of the labor market, could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
- Our business would be adversely affected if our contract workers were classified as employees.
- We could be required to collect additional sales and other similar taxes or be subject to other tax liabilities that may increase the costs our customers would have to pay for our subscriptions and adversely affect our operating results.
- Risks Related to the Regulatory Framework that Governs Us
- If the use of cookies or other tracking technologies becomes subject to unfavorable legislation or regulation, is restricted by internet users or other third parties or is blocked or limited by users or by technical changes on end users’ devices, our activities could be restricted including, our ability to attract new customers, convert traffic to paying customers and to develop and provide certain products could be diminished or eliminated.
- Federal, state, and foreign laws regulate internet tracking software, the sending of commercial emails and text messages, sales activities, and other activities, which could impact the use of our platform and products, and potentially subject us to regulatory enforcement or private litigation.
- We are required to comply with U.S. economic sanctions, export control and anti-corruption laws, and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or expose us to liability if we were to violate such laws and regulations.
- Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“SOX”) could impair our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations and have a material adverse effect on our business. In the future, our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.
- Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate and additional tax liabilities may impact our financial results.
- Our international operations may subject us to greater than anticipated tax liabilities.
- Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
- We may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary and intellectual property rights in our data or technology.
- If third parties claim that we infringe upon or otherwise violate their intellectual property rights, our business could be adversely affected.
- 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.
- Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock
- An active public market for our Class A common stock may not be sustained and could be highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above your original purchase price, if at all. You may lose all or part of your investment.
- The issuance of additional stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plans or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders.
- If we do not meet the expectations of equity research analysts, if they do not publish research or reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our Class A common stock, the price of our Class A common stock could decline.
- The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders who held our capital stock prior to the completion of our IPO, including our directors, executive officers, and their affiliates, who as of December 31, 2025 held in the
- aggregate 78% of the voting power of our capital stock, which will limit your ability to influence corporate matters.
- We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will be consummated at favorable prices or fully consummated, or that the program will enhance long-term shareholder value; and share repurchases could increase the volatility of the trading price of our Class A common stock and diminish our cash reserves.
- We do not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
- General Risk Factors
- Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current Board, and limit the market price of our Class A common stock.
- Our third amended and restated bylaws designate certain courts as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could
- limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.
Legal proceedings
From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. For example, in October 2025 the Company became party to stockholder class action and derivative complaint regarding the 2025 Repurchase Program and the Company became subject to the Lawsuits described in the Risk Factors. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the ultimate costs to resolve any pending matter will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. 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.
