Second-Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
Current report
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA contains a broad range of tax reform provisions including immediate expensing of domestic R&D expenditures, the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, and modifications to the international tax framework. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in fiscal 2026 and other provisions effective in subsequent years. The OBBBA does not have a material impact on fiscal 2026. We are evaluating the potential impact of the provisions effective in future years, however we do not anticipate the OBBBA will have a material impact.
Current report
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased professional fees of $2.2 million and other administrative costs of $1.1 million, partially offset by increased personnel costs of $2.2 million, inclusive of share-based compensation.

•Expand and strengthen our relationships with existing customers. We plan to establish new and deeper relationships within our existing customers’ organizations and expand the breadth of our platform capabilities to provide for expansion opportunities. In addition, we believe the ease of implementation of Dynatrace provides us with the opportunity to expand adoption within our existing enterprise customers, across new customer applications, with cloud-native and development teams, and into additional business units or divisions. We also believe that our DPS licensing model will drive broader consumption of the Dynatrace platform and further expansion opportunities for customers that prefer the flexibility and predictability of pricing under that model. Over 45% of our customer base and over 65% of our ARR leveraged this flexible, scalable, and transparent subscription approach as of June 30, 2025. With access to the full Dynatrace platform, DPS customers are able to adopt Dynatrace more broadly across their IT environments, which can lead to increased consumption.

Other income, net, was $7.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to other expense, net, of $4.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The change was primarily the result of foreign currency realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the impact of transactions denominated in a foreign currency, including balances between subsidiaries.

Income tax expense was $63.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, which increased by $35.3 million from $28.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was due to an increase to pre-tax income, the intra-entity asset transfer of the global economic rights of our IP to Switzerland in fiscal 2025 resulting in an increase to the GILTI inclusion, primarily due to an increase in capitalized foreign research and development expenses within GILTI, a decrease to the foreign-derived intangible income deduction, and changes to our uncertain tax positions. We elect to treat GILTI as a period cost for GAAP purposes.
