Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

PagerDuty, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in May 2010.

PagerDuty, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which PagerDuty, Inc. holds a controlling interest (collectively, the “Company”), provides a digital operations management platform that manages urgent and mission-critical work for a modern, digital business (the “PagerDuty Platform”). The PagerDuty Platform collects data and digital signals from virtually any software-enabled system or device and leverages powerful machine learning to correlate, process, and predict opportunities and issues. Using incident response, event management, and automation, the Company brings together the right people with the right information so they can resolve issues and act on opportunities in minutes or seconds from wherever they are.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2024 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended January 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of PagerDuty, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending January 31, 2025 or for any other interim period, or for any future year.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2025 refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations to conform to the current period presentation. The Company has reclassified a portion of other income to the interest income line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, 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 expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve the period of benefit for amortizing deferred contract costs, the determination of the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, stock-based compensation, redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interests, and estimates related to the Company’s revenue recognition, such as the assessment of performance obligations in the Company’s revenue arrangements and the fair value assigned to each performance obligation, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments, and accounts receivable. All of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments are invested in money market funds, United States (“U.S.”) Treasury securities, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, or U.S. Government agency securities that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investments are spread across several different financial institutions.

No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the total accounts receivable balance as of October 31, 2024 or January 31, 2024. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of revenue for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 or 2023.

Segment Information

The Company manages its operations and allocates resources asone operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. Refer to Note 15, Geographic Information for information regarding the Company's long-lived assets and revenue by geography.

Related Party Transactions

Certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors serve as directors of, or are executive officers of, and in some cases are investors in, companies that are customers or vendors of the Company. The Company billed $4.0 million and $3.8 million to entities associated with related parties in the nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Accounts receivable associated with related parties as of October 31, 2024 and 2023 and revenue recognized from related party transactions for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 were not significant.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Restricted Cash

The Company has classified cash that is not available for use in its operations as restricted cash. Restricted cash consists primarily of collateral for letters of credit related to security deposits for the Company’s office facility lease arrangements. At October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, the Company had restricted cash of $3.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively, all of which was classified as non-current.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and requires retrospective application to all prior periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income statement expenses. This ASU requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendment requires that at each interim and annual reporting period, an entity discloses the amounts of certain expenses included in each relevant expense caption. The newly required expense disclosures include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. The amendment also requires that an entity discloses a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

In May 2022, the Company established a joint venture, PagerDuty K.K. The Company obtained a 51% controlling interest and has consolidated the financial results of the joint venture.

The agreements with the non-controlling interest holders of PagerDuty K.K. contain redemption features whereby the interest held by the non-controlling interest holders is redeemable either: (i) at the option of the non-controlling interest holders; or (ii) at the option of the Company, both beginning on the tenth anniversary of the initial capital contribution. The balance of the redeemable non-controlling interest is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the redeemable non-controlling interest's share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its redemption value, which is determined based on a prescribed formula derived from multiple metrics including the annual recurring revenue of PagerDuty K.K. The resulting changes in the estimated redemption amount are recorded with corresponding adjustments against additional paid-in capital due to the absence of retained earnings. The carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest is recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity.

The following table summarizes the activity in the redeemable non-controlling interest for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Total$208,277$208,178

As of October 31, 2024, there were 54 securities in an unrealized loss position with an aggregate fair value of $88.8 million,10 of which were in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The total unrealized loss related to the 10 securities wasimmaterial. As of January 31, 2024, there were 70 securities in an unrealized loss position with an aggregate fair value of $108.7 million,33 of which were in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized loss related to the 33 securities was $0.2 million.

When evaluating investments for impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost. No impairment loss has been recorded on the securities included in the tables above, as the Company believes that any decrease in fair value of these securities is temporary and the Company expects to recover at least up to the initial cost of the investment for these securities. The Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses, as the Company believes any such losses would be immaterial based on the high-grade credit rating for each of its marketable securities as of the end of each period.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities 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. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Valuations based on inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets that are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value using the above input categories as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Total$305,283$210,170$—$515,453
Included in cash equivalents$307,275
Included in investments$208,178

The Company’s assets that are measured by management at fair value on a recurring basis are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, the Company’s Level 2 securities are measured at fair value and classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company uses quoted market prices for similar instruments or nonbinding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data or alternative pricing sources and models using market observable inputs to determine fair value.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash held in banks, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities and are excluded from the fair value table above.

Convertible Senior Notes

As of October 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) was approximately $55.5 million and the estimated fair value of the Company’s 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) was approximately $397.6 million. The fair values were determined based on the quoted price for the 2025 Notes and the 2028 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period and are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 6. Property and Equipment, Net

(1) Gross property and equipment includes construction-in-progress for leasehold improvements and capitalized internal-use software of $7.9 million and $4.2 million that had not yet been placed in service as of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, respectively. The costs associated with construction-in-progress are not amortized until the asset is available for its intended use.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $6.4 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In the nine months ended October 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.4 million related to leasehold improvements abandoned during the period. The impairment charge was recorded in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. No such impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024.

Note 7. Deferred Contract Costs

Deferred contract costs, which primarily consist of deferred sales commissions, were $43.8 million and $44.6 million as of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, respectively. Amortization expense for deferred contract costs was $5.6 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $16.3 million and $15.3 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There wasno impairment charge related to the costs capitalized for the periods presented.

Note 8. Leases

Operating Leases

The Company has entered into various non-cancellable operating leases for its office spaces with lease periods expiring between fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2029. The operating lease agreements generally provide for rental payments on a graduated basis and for options to renew, which could increase future minimum lease payments if exercised.

Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease’s commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives such as tenant improvement allowances.

The Company’s operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. The Company has elected a practical expedient that allows it to include non-lease components with lease payments for the purpose of calculating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments.

Leases with a term of one year or less are not recognized on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, but rather are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In June 2023, the Company entered into a sublease for a portion of its San Francisco office location. The sublease has a remaining lease term of less thanone year. Sublease income, which is recorded as a reduction of rent expense, was not material for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024.

In the nine months ended October 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.8 million to the right-of-use asset associated with the subleased office, which is the amount that the carrying value of the right-of-use asset exceeded its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was based on the present value of the estimated cash flows that could be generated from subleasing the property for the remaining lease term. The impairment charge was recorded in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. There wereno impairment charges recorded in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024.

Note 9. Debt and Financing Arrangements

2025 Convertible Senior Notes

In June 2020, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $287.5 million of 2025 Notes in a private offering pursuant to an indenture dated June 25, 2020 (the “2025 Indenture”).

The 2025 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2021, at a rate of 1.25% per year. The 2025 Notes will mature on July 1, 2025, unless such notes are converted, redeemed or repurchased earlier. In October 2023, the Company provided written notice to the trustee and the note holders of the 2025 Notes that it had irrevocably elected to settle the principal amount of its convertible senior notes in cash and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect to the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes being converted.

In October 2023, the Company paid $223.7 million to repurchase an aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million of the 2025 Notes with a carrying value of $227.5 million, net of unamortized issuance costs of $2.6 million.

2028 Convertible Senior Notes

In October 2023, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $402.5 million of convertible senior notes in a private offering pursuant to an indenture dated October 13, 2023 (the “2028 Indenture” and, together with the 2025 Indenture, the “Indentures”). The total net proceeds from the debt offering, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and debt issuance costs of $12.0 million, were $390.4 million.

The 2028 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2024, at a rate of 1.50% per year. The 2028 Notes will mature on October 15, 2028, unless such notes are converted, redeemed or repurchased earlier. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect to the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes being converted, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the 2028 Indenture.

Accounting for the 2025 Notes and the 2028 Notes

The Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at their amortized cost, as no other embedded features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. As of October 31, 2024, the 2025 Notes are classified in current liabilities and the 2028 Notes are classified as non-current liabilities. Issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the Notes at an effective interest rate of 1.91% for the 2025 Notes and 2.13% for the 2028 Notes.

The net carrying amount of the Notes was as follows as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2025 Capped Calls”) with certain financial institution counterparties. In connection with the offering of the 2028 Notes, the Company entered into separate privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2028 Capped Calls” and, together with the 2025 Capped Calls, the “Capped Calls”). The Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce or offset the potential dilution to the common stock upon any conversion of the Notes, subject to a cap based on the cap price of such Capped Calls. For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of the Notes. The Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The costs incurred to purchase the 2025 Capped Calls and the 2028 Capped Calls of $35.7 million and $55.1 million, respectively, were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Capped Calls will not be remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification.

The 2025 Capped Calls have an initial strike price of approximately $40.08 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes, and an initial cap price of $61.66 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The 2025 Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 7.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2025 Capped Calls are subject to automatic exercise over a 40 trading day period commencing on May 2, 2025, subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances and may be settled in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election. The 2025 Capped Calls remain outstanding as of October 31, 2024.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various claims and other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company investigates these claims as they arise and accrues estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and estimable. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings nor is it aware of any pending or threatened litigation that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Stock Options

As of October 31, 2024, there was approximately $0.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the 2019 Plan, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

Restricted Stock Units

A summary of the Company’s RSU activity and related information is as follows:

Number of RSUsWeightedAverage Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Outstanding at January 31, 20247,412,056$31.08
Granted4,410,881$20.97
Vested(2,988,987)$30.82
Forfeited or canceled(946,330)$30.42
Outstanding at October 31, 20247,887,620$25.62

The fair value of the Company’s RSUs is expensed ratably over the vesting period, and is based on the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

As of October 31, 2024, there was $193.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years based on vesting under the award service conditions.

Performance Stock Units

The Company grants PSUs to certain employees of the Company, which, in the current fiscal year, are to vest based on the level of achievement of certain targets related to the Company’s operating plan over the one-year performance period. In prior periods, PSUs vested based on both the level of achievement of certain targets related to the Company’s operating plan and the relative growth of the per share price of the Company’s common stock as compared to the S&P Software & Services Select Index over the one-year performance period. The PSUs vest over athree-year period, subject to continuous service with the Company. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will vest based on the performance and market conditions can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount. Compensation expense for PSUs with performance conditions is measured using the fair value at the date of grant, and may be adjusted over the vesting period based on interim estimates of performance against the performance condition. Compensation expense for PSUs with market conditions is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Expense is recorded over the vesting period under the graded-vesting attribution method.

In the nine months ended October 31, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors certified the results of the Company’s operating plan and relative growth of the per share price of the Company’s common stock as compared to the S&P Software & Services Select Index for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024.

Note 13. Net Loss per Share

Net loss used for the purpose of determining basic and diluted net loss per share is determined by taking net loss attributable to PagerDuty, Inc., less the redeemable non-controlling interests redemption value adjustment.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to PagerDuty, Inc. common stockholders for the periods indicated (in thousands, except number of shares and per share data):

Since the Company was in a loss position for the periods presented, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are the same, as the inclusion of all potential common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted per share calculations because they would be anti-dilutive were as follows (in thousands):

As of October 31, 2024, the conversion options of the Notes were out of money and as a result, there wereno potentially dilutive shares related to the conversion of the Notes.

Note 14. Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period.

The Company's quarterly tax provision, and estimate of its annual effective tax rate, is subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in pre-tax income (or loss), the mix of jurisdictions to which such income (or loss) relates, changes in how the Company does business, and tax law developments. The Company's estimated effective tax rate for the year differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% as a result of the Company’s U.S. losses for which no benefit will be realized, the Company’s foreign operations which are subject to tax rates that differ from those in the U.S., as well as the benefit for non-U.S. income tax credits.

The Company recorded provision for income taxes of $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively, and a benefit from income taxes of $41.0 thousand and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023, respectively.

Note 15. Geographic Information
