SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial condition, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “aim,”, “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will” or “would,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

•our expectations regarding our annual recurring revenue (ARR), revenue, expenses, and other operating results;

•our ability to acquire new customers and successfully retain existing customers;

•our ability to increase the number of users who access our platform;

•our ability to innovate and launch new products;

•our ability to increase usage of existing products;

•our ability to achieve or sustain profitability;

•future investments in our business, our anticipated capital expenditures, and our estimates regarding our capital requirements;

•the costs and success of our sales and marketing efforts, and our ability to maintain and enhance our brand;

•the estimated addressable market opportunity for existing products and new products;

•our reliance on key personnel and our ability to identify, recruit, and retain skilled personnel;

•our ability to effectively manage our growth, including any international expansion;

•our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses;

•the effects of macroeconomic uncertainties, including high interest rates, foreign exchange rate volatility, global geopolitical uncertainties, inflationary pressures, and other macroeconomic factors beyond our control;

•our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and any costs associated therewith;

•our ability to compete effectively with existing competitors and new market entrants; and

•the size and growth rates of the markets in which we compete.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very

Table of Contents

competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. While we believe that such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments.

FRESHWORKS INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Freshworks Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive loss, of cash flows, and of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related notes to such condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2026 and our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period.

The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026.

In January 2026, we acquired all outstanding shares of FireHydrant, Inc., an incident management software company, for $88.7 million. See Note 5 - Business Combinations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following:

•determination of standalone selling price (SSP) for each distinct performance obligation included in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations;

•allowance for doubtful accounts;

•benefit period of deferred contract acquisition costs;

•capitalization of internal-use software development costs;

•fair value of goodwill;

•useful lives of long-lived assets, including intangible assets;

•valuation of deferred tax assets;

•valuation of employee defined benefit plan and other compensation liabilities;

Table of Contents

•fair value of share-based awards; and

•incremental borrowing rate used for operating leases.

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose us to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are generally held with large financial institutions and are in excess of the federally insured limits provided on such deposits. In addition, we have cash and cash equivalents held in international bank accounts, which are denominated primarily in euros, British pounds, and Indian rupees.

There were no customers that individually exceeded 10% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 or that represented 10% or more of our consolidated accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2026.

We primarily rely upon our third-party cloud infrastructure partner, Amazon Web Services, to serve customers and operate certain aspects of its services. Any disruption of this cloud infrastructure partner would impact our operations and our business could be adversely impacted.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Except for the updated policy regarding credit losses described below, there have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets

Effective January 1, 2026, we elected to apply the practical expedient provided by ASU 2025-05 to measure expected credit losses for qualifying current accounts receivable and contract assets and assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. See "Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements" below for further details.

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient to measure credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The practical expedient assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. Effective January 1, 2026, we adopted this guidance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies that the interim reporting requirements in Topic 270 apply to all entities that issue interim financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and consolidates such requirements within Topic 270. The amendments provide a comprehensive list within Topic 270 of required interim disclosures, establish a principle requiring disclosure of events or changes occurring after the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on interim results. and clarifies the form and content requirements applicable to interim financial statements. ASU 2025-11 will be effective for our interim periods starting January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is only related to disclosure and is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025‑06 updates guidance on accounting for software costs by aligning capitalization with when management commits to funding a project and completion is probable. Additionally, the ASU introduces new disclosure requirements, including significant judgments made in applying the guidance and the nature and amount of capitalized software costs. This guidance is effective for us starting in our annual and interim disclosures for periods starting January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on our condensed consolidated financial statements, including which transition method to apply.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses, which requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This authoritative guidance is effective for us starting in our annual disclosures for 2027 and interim periods starting 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This guidance is only related to disclosure and is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

We measure our financial assets at fair value each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are observable and reflect quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Inputs that are unobservable.

Money market funds and U.S. treasury securities are classified within Level 1 because they are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Other debt securities and investments are classified within Level 2 if the investments are valued using model driven valuations which use observable inputs such as quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Available-for-sale debt securities are held by custodians who obtain investment prices from a third-party pricing provider that incorporates standard inputs in various asset price models.

We did not have any assets or liabilities subject to fair value remeasurement on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

5. Business Combinations

On January 1, 2026, we acquired all outstanding shares of FireHydrant, Inc., an incident management software company, for $88.7 million in cash, including $4.3 million of cash acquired, to expand its IT service and operations portfolio. As of March 31, 2026, $9.0 million in unpaid indemnity and purchase price adjustment holdbacks were recorded within accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments and conditions.

All existing FireHydrant stock options were canceled, and we issued new time-based and performance-based RSUs to certain continuing employees under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These awards were excluded from the purchase consideration and will be recognized as post-combination compensation expense over their requisite service periods. Refer to Note 11—Stockholders' Equity and Stock-Based Compensation.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition:


	Amount
	(in thousands)
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	4,349
Other current assets	1,928

Customer relationship	13,200
Developed technology	10,700
Goodwill	52,648
Deferred tax assets	13,084
Total	$	95,909
Liabilities assumed:
Current liabilities	$	7,172


Total	$	7,172

Total purchase price consideration	$	88,737

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their estimated acquisition-date fair values, with goodwill representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill includes the fair value of assets that were not identifiable and as such, not separately recognizable. Goodwill recognized from the transaction is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes and primarily reflects expected synergies from FireHydrant’s customer base and technology.

The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within the measurement period, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. The fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s best estimates and assumptions as of the acquisition date and are considered preliminary pending finalization of the valuation pertaining to intangible assets acquired, deferred tax assets and liabilities assumed.

Customer relationships and developed technology were valued using the income approach and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives of 7 years.

FireHydrant's operating results are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date and are not material to our financial results, as well as any transaction costs associated with the acquisition.

As of March 31, 2026, other contractual commitments totaling $217.9 million remain outstanding under these agreements through 2029.

Litigation and Loss Contingencies

On November 1, 2022, a purported Company stockholder filed a securities class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against us, certain of our current officers and directors, and underwriters of our initial public offering (IPO). On February 8, 2023, the court-appointed lead plaintiff and lead counsel. On April 14, 2023, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 by making material misstatements or omissions in offering documents filed in connection with our IPO. The amended complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees, costs, and rescission on behalf of purchasers and/or acquirers of common stock issued in our IPO. On September 28, 2023, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants' motion to dismiss. On January 16, 2025, we filed a motion for summary judgment, which the court granted and entered

Table of Contents

judgment in our and the other defendants’ favor on April 10, 2025. Plaintiff has appealed the judgment, and we continue to vigorously defend against the claims in this action.

On March 20, 2023, a purported stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint names as defendants our current directors, as well as Freshworks, as nominal defendant, and asserts state and federal claims based on some of the same alleged misstatements as the securities class action complaint. The derivative complaint seeks unspecified damages, attorneys’ fees, and other costs. On June 21, 2023, the court stayed the case in light of the pending securities class action. On October 16, 2023, the court extended the stay of the case in light of the pending securities class action. We and the other defendants continue to vigorously defend against the claims in this action.

From time to time, we have been and may be in the future subject to other legal proceedings, claims, investigations, and government inquiries (collectively, legal proceedings) in the ordinary course of business. We have received and may receive claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringement of their intellectual property rights, defamation, labor and employment rights, privacy, and contractual rights. There are no currently pending legal proceedings that we believe will have a material adverse impact on our business or condensed consolidated financial statements.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including losses arising out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties, if we have violated applicable laws, if we are negligent or commit acts of willful misconduct, and other liabilities with respect to our products and services and our business. In these circumstances, payment is typically conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract. We also indemnify certain of our officers, directors and certain key employees while they are serving in good faith in their respective capacities. To date, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

9. Revenue From Contracts with Customers

We primarily derive revenue from subscription fees and related professional services, as well as through sale of software licenses with associated maintenance and professional services.

We sell subscriptions and software licenses directly to customers and indirectly through channel partners with arrangements that are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Our subscription arrangements do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the solutions and, as a result, are accounted for as service arrangements. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term when the cloud-based software is made available to customers.

Software license revenue is generally sold as bundled arrangements that include the rights to a software license and maintenance and cloud-based software in some cases. Revenue from the software license is recognized when the software is made available to the customer and maintenance revenue is recognized as support and updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the contract term.

Professional services revenue is comprised of fees charged for services ranging from product configuration, data migration, systems integration, and training. We recognize professional services revenues as services are performed.

We record revenue net of sales or value-added taxes.

Share Repurchase

In November 2024, our board of directors (the Board) approved a share repurchase program ("2024 Share Repurchase Program"), which authorized the repurchase of up to $400 million of our outstanding Class A common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 we repurchased a total of 6,732,390 shares of Class A common stock under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program in open market transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $111.8 million, resulting in an average price of $16.60 per share. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program was completed during the year ended December 31, 2025.

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan			18,255
Total shares of common stock reserved for issuance			113,042

(1)Outstanding shares include the 2026 Executive PRSUs as discussed below, based on 100% achievement of target performance.

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the ESPP, the price at which common stock is purchased is equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first day of the offering period or the applicable purchase date, whichever is lower. The fair market value of common stock will generally be the closing sales price on the determination date. The ESPP provides an offering period of 24 months, with four purchase periods that are generally six months long and end on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

The ESPP also includes a reset provision for the purchase price if the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first day of any purchase period is less than or equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first day of an ongoing offering. If the reset provision is triggered, a new 24-month offering period begins. Each triggering of the reset provision was considered a modification in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation, with the modification charge recognized on a straight-line basis over the new offering period. Historically, the reset provision has been triggered by stock price declines, and the resulting modification have not been material on our stock-based compensation expense.

Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Stock Options

Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, have a 10-year contractual term, and vest over a four-year period.

Table of Contents

Stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):


Share Information:	Number of Shares (in thousands)	Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) (1)

(1)Aggregate intrinsic value for stock options represents the difference between the exercise price and the per share fair value of our common stock as of the end of the period, multiplied by the number of stock options outstanding, exercisable, or vested.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs are granted at fair market value as of the date of the grant and typically vest over a four-year period.

RSU activity, which includes PRSUs, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was as follows:


Share Information:	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Unvested, as of December 31, 2025	21,936	$	14.98
Granted	18,531	$	11.19

Forfeited/Cancelled	(1,783)	$	13.62
Unvested, as of March 31, 2026	36,701	$	13.09

(1) During the three months ended March 31, 2026, total shares that vested were 2.0 million, of which 0.7 million were withheld for tax purposes.

The total fair value of vested RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $31.5 million and $55.6 million, respectively.

Performance-Based Awards

Executive PRSUs

Beginning in 2024, certain members of the executive team were granted PRSUs awards (the "Executive PRSUs"). The Executive PRSUs are granted annually in the first quarter, are subject to service and performance-based vesting conditions and vest over three years from the grant date. The PRSUs granted in 2026 have fiscal 2026 revenue and non-GAAP operating income performance targets with 70% and 30% of each award tied to these targets, respectively. The 2026 performance targets can be earned from 0% up to a maximum of 173.6% of target shares for significant outperformance.

The fair value of each PRSU is based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation associated with the Executive PRSUs is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period, based on our periodic assessment of the probability that the performance will be achieved.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized $3.9 million and $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense related to Executive PRSUs, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows (in thousands):

Stock options	1,740		0.3
ESPP	4,831		1.0
Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense	$	434,720

12. Income Taxes

The quarterly tax provision and estimates of annual effective tax rate are affected by several factors, including changes in pre-tax income (or loss), the mix of jurisdictions to which such income relates, and discrete items (such as windfalls or shortfalls from stock-based compensation). The provision for (benefit from) income taxes was $(1.8) million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, retrospectively.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 27.5% and 151.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 is lower than the first quarter of 2025 because the full valuation allowance on U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets was released in the fourth quarter of 2025.

13. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss by the number of weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is determined by giving effect to all potential common equivalents during the reporting period, unless including them yields an antidilutive result. We consider our stock options and RSUs as potential common stock equivalents, but excluded them from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as their effect was antidilutive.

The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion, and transfer rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and the resulting basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, are the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on both an individual and combined basis.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except per share data):

14. Subsequent Events

Restructuring

In May 2026, the Company committed to a restructuring plan (the Plan) to streamline the Company’s organizational efforts and product development process, as well as increase leverage of AI and automation across the business. The Company estimates that this will result in approximately 11% reduction in headcount and approximately $7 million to $9 million in charges in the second quarter of 2026, consisting primarily of cash expenditures for separation-related payments, employee benefits and related costs. The Company expects that the Plan, including related cash payments, will be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter ending June 30, 2026.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the discussion under the heading “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. As described in the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Overview

We provide people-first AI service software that organizations use to deliver exceptional employee and customer experiences. Our employee experience (EX) products include Freshservice, Freshservice for Business Teams, Device42 and FireHydrant. Our customer experience (CX) products include our Freshdesk suite of products. Our AI offerings, which include Freddy AI Agent, Freddy AI Copilot and Freddy AI Insights, further enhance the employee and customer and employee experience and are designed to boost productivity.

In January 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of FireHydrant, Inc. (FireHydrant), a provider of AI-powered incident management software. The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination and our consolidated financial statements and key business metrics include FireHydrant since the acquisition date.

We generate revenue primarily from the sale of subscriptions for accessing our cloud-based software products over the contract term. We generally enter into subscription agreements with our customers on monthly, annual, or multi-year terms and invoice customers in advance in either monthly or annual installments. We also sell software licenses with associated maintenance for Device42 and professional services that include product configuration, data migration, systems integration, and training.

Our customer base and operations have scaled over time. Our total revenue was $228.6 million and $196.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 16%. We incurred operating losses of $8.1 million and $10.4 million for three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Macroeconomic and Other Factors

Current macroeconomic uncertainties, including inflationary pressures, significant volatility in global markets, and geopolitical developments have impacted and may continue to impact business spending and the overall economy, and in turn our business. These macroeconomic events could adversely affect demand for our products and services and we expect these pressures to persist for the foreseeable future. Additionally, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted our revenue growth historically and volatility in the foreign currency market still exist. For the quarters ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, we had approximately 29%, 28% and 27%, respectively, of revenue exposure related to the euro and British pound. If adverse conditions arise, they could have a material adverse impact on our results and our ability to accurately predict our future results and earnings.

Given our business model is primarily subscription-based, the effects of the macroeconomic conditions may not be fully reflected in our revenue until future periods. The ultimate impact on our business and operations remains highly uncertain, and it is not possible for us to predict the duration and extent to which this will affect our business, future results of operations, and financial condition. See the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for further discussion of the challenges and risks we have encountered and could encounter related to these macroeconomic events.

Key Business Metrics

We monitor and review a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. Key business metrics and our financial performance are impacted by various factors discussed below, including fluctuations in value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. We also review customer data used for calculating these key business metrics on an ongoing basis and make necessary modifications resulting from such review. We believe these key business metrics provide meaningful supplemental information for management and investors in assessing our operating performance.


	As of March 31,
	2026		2025		% Growth
Number of customers contributing more than $5,000 in ARR	25,088		23,275		8	%
ARR from customers contributing more than $5,000 in ARR as a percentage of total ARR	92	%	90	%
Net dollar retention rate	106	%	105	%

Number of Customers Contributing More Than $5,000 in ARR

We define our total customers contributing more than $5,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR) as of a particular date as the number of business entities or individuals, represented by a unique domain or a unique email address, with one or more paid subscriptions to one or more of our products that contributed more than $5,000 in ARR. We believe that the number of customers that contribute more than $5,000 in ARR is an indicator of our success in attracting, retaining, and expanding with larger businesses.

Net Dollar Retention Rate

Our net dollar retention rate measures our ability to increase revenue across our existing customer base through expansion of users and products associated with a customer as offset by our churn and contraction in the number of users and products associated with a customer. To calculate net dollar retention rate as of a particular date, we first determine “Entering ARR,” which is ARR from the population of our customers as of 12 months prior to the end of the reporting period. We then calculate the “Ending ARR” which is ARR from the same set of customers as of the end of the reporting period. We then divide the Ending ARR by the Entering ARR to arrive at our net dollar retention rate. Ending ARR includes upsells, cross-sells, renewals, and expansion as a result of acquisitions during the measurement period and is net of any contraction or attrition over this period.

We define ARR as the sum total of subscription, software license, and maintenance revenue we would contractually expect to recognize over the next 12 months from all customers at a point in time, assuming no increases, reductions, or cancellations in their subscriptions, and assuming that revenues are recognized ratably over the term of subscription and maintenance contracts and upon delivery for software licenses. For monthly subscriptions, we take the recurring revenue run-rate of such subscriptions for the last month of the period and multiply it by 12 to get to ARR. While monthly subscribers as a group have historically maintained or increased their subscriptions over time, there is no guarantee that any particular customer on a monthly subscription will renew its subscription in any given month, and therefore the calculation of ARR for these monthly subscriptions may not accurately reflect revenue to be received over a 12-month period from such customers, and net dollar retention rate may reflect a higher rate than the actual rate if customers on monthly subscriptions choose not to renew during the course of the 12 months. Monthly subscriptions represented 12% and 14% of ARR as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The net dollar retention rate for customers on monthly contracts has generally been lower than our overall net dollar retention rate. In addition, as part of our regular review of customer data that includes reviewing customers purchasing our products via resellers so we can properly attribute them as end customers, we may make adjustments that could impact the calculation of net dollar retention rate.

Our net dollar retention rate increased to 106% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 105% as of March 31, 2025, remained relatively flat. We expect our net dollar retention rate may fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, difficult macroeconomic conditions, our expected growth, the level of

Table of Contents

penetration within our customer base, our ability to upsell and cross-sell products to existing customers, and our ability to retain our customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance: non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only.

We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:

•Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this expense provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is not comparable across companies given the variety of valuation methodologies and assumptions.

•Employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions. We exclude the amount of employer payroll taxes on equity awards from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because they are dependent on our stock price at the time of vesting or exercise and other factors that are beyond our control and do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operation of the business.

•Amortization of acquired intangibles. We exclude amortization of acquired intangibles, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures. Our expenses for amortization of acquired intangibles are inconsistent in amount and frequency because they are significantly affected by the timing, size of acquisitions, and the allocation of purchase price. We exclude these amortization expenses because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.

•Restructuring charges. We exclude restructuring charges, which primarily consist of employee severance and other employee termination benefits associated with the restructuring plan, from our non-GAAP financial measures because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.

•Acquisition expenses. We exclude acquisition expenses, which primarily consist of legal fees and due diligence costs, from our non-GAAP financial measures because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.

•Income tax effect and adjustments. Starting 2026, we utilize a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate to compute our non-GAAP income tax provision in order to provide better consistency across interim reporting periods. Our non-GAAP tax rate reflects our estimated long-term effective tax rate based on our anticipated geographic earnings mix and statutory tax regimes. For fiscal year 2026, we determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 24%. The difference between our GAAP income tax provision and our non-GAAP income tax provision is presented as non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments. We have not provided a reconciliation of our projected non-GAAP tax rate for fiscal year 2026 to GAAP due to the uncertainty and potential variability of the items we exclude from our GAAP financial measures to

Table of Contents

calculate our non-GAAP financial measures and the resulting income tax effects of such items. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort and we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, although it is important to note that these items could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP. Prior to 2026, we excluded the income tax effect of the above adjustments, income tax effect associated with acquisitions and tax charges or benefits that are a result of a change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and its related impacts, from our non-GAAP financial measures. We excluded these costs because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.

Non-GAAP Income From Operations and Non-GAAP Net Income

We define non-GAAP income from operations as GAAP loss from operations, excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring charges and acquisition expenses.

We define non-GAAP net income as GAAP net loss, excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, restructuring charges, amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition expenses and income tax adjustments.

The following tables present a reconciliation of our GAAP loss from operations to our non-GAAP income from operations and our GAAP net loss to our non-GAAP net income for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment, and capitalized internal-use software costs. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity as it measures our ability to generate cash from our core operations after purchases of property and equipment and excluding the impact of non-recurring strategic and restructuring activities. Free cash flow is a measure to determine, among other things, cash available for strategic initiatives, including further investments in our business and potential acquisitions of businesses.

The following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	62,389	$	57,973

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

Substantially all of our revenue is derived from subscriptions, which is comprised of fees paid by customers for accessing our cloud-based software products during the term of the subscription. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of each subscription, which is the date that the cloud-based software is made available to customers.

Software license revenue is generally sold as bundled arrangements that include the rights to a software license and maintenance and cloud-based software in some cases. Software license revenue is recognized upon making the software available to the customer and maintenance revenue is recognized as support and updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the contract term.

Professional services revenue comprises less than 5% of total revenue and includes fees charged for product configuration, data migration, systems integration, and training. Professional services revenue is recognized as services are performed.

We generally enter into subscription and software license agreements with our customers on monthly, annual, or multi-year terms and invoice customers in advance in either monthly or annual installments. Our payment terms generally require the customers to pay the invoiced amount in advance or within 30 days from the invoice date. Our maintenance and professional services are generally billed in advance along with the related subscription and software license arrangements.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel-related expenses (including salaries, related benefits, and stock-based compensation expense) for employees associated with our cloud-based infrastructure, payment gateway fees, voice, product support, and professional services organizations, as well as costs for hosting capabilities. Cost of revenue also includes third-party license fees, amortization of acquired technology intangibles, amortization of

Table of Contents

capitalized internal-use software, and allocation of general overhead costs such as facilities and information technology.

We expect our cost of revenue to continue to increase in dollar amount as we invest additional resources in our cloud-based infrastructure and customer support and professional services organizations. However, our gross profit and gross margin may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and extent of our investments in third-party hosting capacity, expansion of our cloud-based infrastructure, customer support, and professional services organizations, as well as the amortization of costs associated with capitalized internal-use software.

Overhead Allocation

We allocate shared costs, such as facilities costs (including rent, utilities, and depreciation on capital expenditures related to facilities shared by multiple departments), information technology costs, and certain administrative personnel costs to all departments based on headcount and location. Allocated shared costs are reflected in each of the expense categories described below, in addition to cost of revenue as described above.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, related benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for engineering and product development employees and certain executives, software license fees, rental of office premises, third-party hosting fees, third-party product development services and consulting expenses, and depreciation expense for equipment used in research and development activities. We capitalize a portion of our research and development expenses that meet the criteria for capitalization of internal-use software. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

We believe that continued investment in our products is important for our growth, and as such, we expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase in dollar amount for the foreseeable future, but such expenses as a percentage of revenue may fluctuate from period to period depending upon the timing and amount of these expenses.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, related benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for our sales personnel and certain executives, sales commissions for our sales force and reseller commissions for our channel sales partners, as well as costs associated with marketing activities, travel and entertainment costs, amortization of acquired technology intangibles, software license fees, and rental of office premises. Sales and reseller commissions that are considered incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers, are deferred and amortized over the benefit period of three years. Marketing activities include online lead generation, advertising, and promotional events.

We expect to continue to make significant investments as we expand our customer acquisition, retention efforts and marketing events and associated business travel. As a result, we expect that our sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in dollar amount for the foreseeable future, however, we expect it to decline as a percentage of revenue over the longer term. This percentage may fluctuate from period to period depending upon the timing and amount of these expenses.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, related benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for certain executives and other general and administrative personnel, third-party professional services fees, costs of director and officer insurance, and costs associated with acquisitions of businesses, software license fees, and rental of office premises.

We expect to increase personnel-related and professional service expenses associated with ongoing compliance and reporting obligations and costs to broaden our IT related infrastructure. Our general and administrative expenses are expected to continue to increase in dollar amount for the foreseeable future, however, we expect it to decline as a percentage of revenue over the longer term. This percentage may fluctuate from period to period depending upon the timing and amount of our general and administrative expenses.

Table of Contents

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest and other income (expense), net primarily consists of interest income from our investment portfolios, amortization of premium or discount on marketable securities, and foreign currency gains and losses.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in U.S. states and in foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate is affected by tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions as well as non-deductible expenses, such as stock-based compensation, and changes in our valuation allowance.

Revenue increased by $32.4 million, or 16%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Of the total increase in revenue, approximately $14.2 million was attributable to revenue from existing customers as of March 31, 2025, net of contraction and churn, and approximately $18.2 million was attributable to revenue from new customers acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2026, net of contraction and churn.

Cost of revenue increased by $4.8 million, or 16%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.5 million increase in third-party hosting costs and cloud software fees, which was driven by the increased capacity and volume required to support new customers. Additionally, the increase was driven by $0.9 million in amortization of internally capitalized

software and $0.7 million in personnel-related costs, primarily due to annual compensation adjustment. Our gross margin remained flat at 85% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The $25.2 million or 14%, increase in our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by higher personnel related costs due to annual compensation adjustments and marketing sponsorship costs, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense from the departure of our former Executive Chairman in December 2025.

Research and Development

Research and development expense increased by $9.3 million, or 23%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $3.6 million in personnel-related costs primarily due to annual compensation adjustments, $3.1 million in stock-based compensation, $1.0 million in professional service fees, $1.0 million in software licensing fees and web hosting costs for product development.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense increased by $23.2 million, or 26%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases in personnel-related costs of $12.7 million primarily from higher headcount and annual compensation adjustment, $6.7 million in marketing sponsorship costs, $1.4 million in reseller commissions and $1.1 million in software license fees.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense decreased by $6.8 million, or 14%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $10.5 million in stock-based compensation expense primarily due to the departure of our former Executive Chairman in December 2025; partially offset by increases of $2.7 million in personnel-related costs primarily due to annual compensation adjustments.

Table of Contents

Interest income decreased by $4.3 million, or 38%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to reduction in average balances held in our marketable securities portfolios used for share repurchases and decrease in interest rates.

Other income (expense), net changed by $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a $7.1 million foreign exchange loss during the period, mostly from unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates in Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar.

*not meaningful

We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States and taxes in foreign jurisdictions. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded a provision for (benefit from) income taxes of $(1.8) million and $3.9 million on income (loss) before taxes of $(6.6) million and $2.6 million, respectively. The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was largely driven by a pre-tax loss in the current quarter compared to pre-tax income in the corresponding quarter of 2025. In addition, following the release of the valuation allowance on U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2025, we are able to recognize tax benefits associated with pre-tax losses incurred in 2026.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law, introducing significant changes to the U.S. tax code, including the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development costs, the immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other tax code changes effective beginning in 2026, which were not material to our tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $548.2 million and marketable securities of $231.1 million, which were primarily held for working capital resources.

As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $3.6 billion. Our operating activities resulted in cash inflows of $62.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. In May 2026, we committed to a restructuring plan that is expected to incur charges in the second quarter of 2026, consisting primarily of cash expenditures for separation-related payments, employee benefits and related costs. See Note 14—Subsequent Events.

Our material cash requirements from known contractual obligations consist primarily of our obligations under operating leases for office space and contractual obligations for third-party cloud infrastructure See Note 7 — Leases and Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies for additional discussion of our principal contractual commitments.

In February 2026, our board of directors approved the share repurchase program, which authorized the repurchase of up to $400 million of our outstanding Class A common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased a total of 5.7 million shares of Class A common stock under this program in open market transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $45.4 million. As of March 31, 2026, $354.6 million remained available for future share repurchases under the current program.

As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

We believe our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer term expected future cash

Table of Contents

requirements and obligations through a combination of our existing cash available balances, cash flow from operations, and issuances of equity securities or debt offerings, as needed. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of our revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product offerings, and other business initiatives and the continuing market adoption of our products. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in connection with such activities. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness may have rights that are senior to holders of our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operational flexibility. Any additional equity or convertible debt financing may be dilutive to stockholders. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	62,389	$	57,973
Net cash used in investing activities	(82,258)		46,231
Net cash used in financing activities	(55,529)		(130,273)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities of $62.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflects our net loss of $4.8 million, adjusted for non-cash items such as stock-based compensation of $43.9 million, amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs of $8.6 million, depreciation and amortization of $7.9 million, non-cash lease expense of $2.9 million and $7.8 million of other items, primarily related to foreign currency gains and losses; offset by $5.9 million change in deferred tax provision and $0.9 million from discount amortization of marketable securities. Additionally, net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities were $2.9 million. The net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily due to a decrease of $24.9 million in accounts receivable and increases of $6.9 million in accounts payable and $1.0 million in deferred revenue; offset by increases of $12.6 million in prepaid expenses and other assets, $10.2 million in deferred contract acquisition costs, and decreases of $3.7 million in operating lease liabilities and $3.4 million in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $58.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects our net loss of $1.3 million, adjusted for non-cash items such as stock-based compensation of $51.7 million, amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs of $7.6 million, depreciation and amortization of $6.4 million and non-cash lease expense of $2.3 million; offset by $1.9 million from discount amortization of marketable securities and $0.5 million from changes in deferred income taxes. Additionally, net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities were $6.3 million. The net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities were due to an increase of $15.3 million in prepaid expenses and other assets, an increase of $8.7 million in deferred contract acquisition costs; offset by a decrease of $10.6 million in accounts receivable and an increase of $7.0 million in deferred revenue.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $82.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisted of $56.9 million paid for business combinations, net of cash acquired, $18.1 million in purchases of marketable securities, net of maturities, $3.9 million in purchases of property and equipment, which primarily include construction and improvements at our major offices, and $3.4 million in capitalized internal-use software.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $46.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of $50.3 million in maturities and redemptions of marketable securities, net of purchases; offset by $2.8 million in capitalized internal-use software and $1.3 million in purchases of property and equipment.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities of $55.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisted of $48.4 million cash paid to repurchase shares of our common stock and $7.2 million in payment of withholding taxes on net share settlement of equity awards.

Net cash used in financing activities of $130.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of $113.6 million cash paid to repurchase shares of our common stock and $16.7 million in payment of withholding taxes on net share settlement of equity awards.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures during the applicable periods. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. We evaluate our estimates, assumptions, and judgments on an ongoing basis.

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to those disclosed in our "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026.

See Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The majority of our sales are derived in U.S. dollars. Our operating expenses incurred by our foreign subsidiaries are denominated in their respective local currencies, and remeasured at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may result in the recognition of transaction gains and losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, particularly changes in the Indian rupee, British pound and euro, and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Based on a sensitivity analysis we have performed as of March 31, 2026, a hypothetical 10% foreign currency exchange rate change applied to total monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar would result in a gain or loss of approximately $13.9 million.

To reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates, we entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency expenses denominated in Indian rupee. Gains or losses on these contracts are generally recognized in income at the time the related transactions being hedged are recognized. As of March 31, 2026, the total notional amount of outstanding designated foreign currency forward contracts was $84.0 million. The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities as

Table of Contents

of March 31, 2026, and all related unrealized and realized gains and losses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were not material.

We do not use foreign exchange contracts for speculative trading purposes and we may enter into other hedging transactions in the future if our exposure to foreign currency becomes more significant. We monitor our exposures in other currencies and assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis.

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities primarily consist of deposits held at financial institutions, highly liquid money market funds, and investments in U.S. treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, corporate bonds and commercial paper. We had cash and cash equivalents of $548.2 million and marketable securities of $231.1 million as of March 31, 2026. We do not enter into investments for trading and speculative purposes. The carrying amount of our cash equivalents reasonably approximate fair value, due to the maturities of three months or less of these instruments. Our investments are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and the fair value of our investments. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of our expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because we classify our marketable securities as “available for sale,” no gains or losses are recognized due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in fair value are determined to be other-than-temporary.

Based on an interest rate sensitivity analysis we have performed as of March 31, 2026, a hypothetical 100 basis points favorable or adverse movement in interest rates would not have a material effect in the combined market value of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
