Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Overview and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Okta, Inc. (the “Company”) is the leading independent identity partner. The Company’s Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform enable customers to securely connect the right people to the right technologies and services at the right time. Employees and contractors sign into the Okta Platform to seamlessly and securely access the applications they need to do their most important work with more modern and secure experiences in the cloud and via mobile devices. Developers leverage the Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform to securely and efficiently embed identity into the software they build, allowing them to innovate and focus on their core mission. The Company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods presented but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 or any future period.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2026, for example, refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 5, 2025.

Segments

The Company conducts business globally and is managed, operated and organized by major functional departments that operate on a consolidated basis. As a result, the Company operates asone reportable segment. The Company employs a SaaS business model and generates revenue primarily by selling multi-year subscriptions to its cloud-based offerings.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the chief executive officer. The CODM utilizes consolidated GAAP and non-GAAP measures of profit and loss to evaluate the Company's overall performance and inform resource allocation to support strategic priorities and capital allocation needs. The profit and loss measure most consistent with GAAP used by the CODM is consolidated net income (loss).

The CODM is regularly provided with budgeted expense information and consolidated expense data. Accordingly, significant segment expenses are inherently reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical experience and on other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates include the valuation of deferred income tax assets,

uncertain tax positions, assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and loss contingencies related to litigation.

  1. Accounting Standards and Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

For a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies refer to “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to provide disaggregated income tax disclosures on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt this guidance in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026 and expects the adoption of the updated guidance to result in disclosure of additional disaggregated tax information.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance requiring the disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified disaggregated income statement expense information. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

  1. Restructuring and Other Charges

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company approved a restructuring plan (the “2025 Restructuring Plan”) intended to reallocate resources toward priorities to drive growth. The 2025 Restructuring Plan involved a reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 180 full-time employees. The 2025 Restructuring Plan was substantially complete by the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and the Company recognized aggregate restructuring costs of$11 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restructuring liability related to the 2025 Restructuring Plan that is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

  1. Cash Equivalents and Investments

Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

In estimating fair value, the Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy 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 other 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 the estimated fair value of cash equivalents and short-term investments:

As of July 31, 2025As of January 31, 2025
(dollars in millions)
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds (Level 1)$654$225

Due between one to five years374
Total$1,982

Interest receivable of $24 million is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025.

There were no material differences between the estimated fair value and amortized cost of our cash equivalents and short-term investments as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025.

For available-for-sale debt securities that have unrealized losses, there were no material credit or non-credit related impairments for short-term investments as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025.

Strategic Investments

Strategic investments primarily include equity investments in privately-held companies, which do not have a readily determinable fair value. Strategic investments are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as nonrecurring fair value measurements may include observable and unobservable inputs. As of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the balance of strategic investments was $33 million and $30 million, respectively.

  1. Deferred Commissions

Sales commissions capitalized as contract costs totaled $48 million and $33 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $80 million and $59 million for the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Amortization of contract costs totaled $40 million and $32 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $76 million and $62 million for the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

  1. Deferred Revenue and Performance Obligations

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue, which is a contract liability, consists primarily of payments received and accounts receivable recorded in advance of revenue recognition under the Company’s contracts with customers and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met.

Subscription revenue recognized during the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of the respective periods was $651 million and $578 million, respectively, and $1,144 million and $1,008 million in the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) represents all future, non-cancelable contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, inclusive of deferred revenue that has been invoiced and non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.

Total remaining non-cancelable performance obligations under subscription contracts with customers was approximately $4,152 million as of July 31, 2025. Of this amount, the Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately $2,265 million, or 55%, over the next 12 months, with the balance to be recognized as revenue thereafter.

  1. Convertible Senior Notes, Net

Convertible Senior Notes

The 2025 convertible senior notes (“2025 Notes”) and the 2026 convertible senior notes (“2026 Notes” and together with the 2025 Notes, the “Notes”) are recorded at face value less unamortized debt issuance costs. As of July 31, 2025, the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes are classified as current liabilities due to their upcoming maturities on September 1, 2025 and June 15, 2026, respectively.

The net carrying amount of the Notes consisted of the following:

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit

In conjunction with the execution of certain office space operating leases, letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $5 million and $6 million were issued and outstanding as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively. No draws have been made under such letters of credit.

Legal Matters

From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to various legal matters such as threatened or pending claims or proceedings.

On May 20, 2022, a purported shareholder filed a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and certain of its executive officers, captioned In re Okta, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 3:22-cv-02990. The lawsuit asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, alleging that the defendants made false or misleading statements or omissions concerning the Company’s cybersecurity controls, vulnerability to data breaches and the Company’s integration of Auth0, Inc. (“Auth0”). The lawsuit sought an order certifying the lawsuit as a class action and unspecified damages. The defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 31, 2023, the court dismissed in full the claims based on the plaintiff’s allegations related to the Company’s cybersecurity controls and vulnerability to data breaches, and dismissed in part and denied in part the claims based on allegations related to the Auth0 integration. On May 28, 2024, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement (the “Stipulation”) where, in exchange for the release and dismissal with prejudice of all claims, the Company agreed to pay and/or to cause its insurance carriers to pay a total of $60 million, which is covered through a combination of the Company’s Director & Officer (“D&O”) insurance and the balance of the Company’s $10 million retention on the primary D&O policy. The Stipulation does not constitute an admission of fault or wrongdoing by the Company or its executives. On November 19, 2024, the court granted final approval of the Stipulation and dismissed the lawsuit in its entirety, with prejudice.

Additionally, two purported shareholders filed derivative lawsuits on behalf of the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against certain of its current and former executive officers and directors, captioned O’Dell v. McKinnon et al., No. 3:22-cv-07480 (filed Nov. 28, 2022) and LR Trust v. McKinnon et al., No. 3:22-cv-08627 (filed Dec. 13, 2022) (together, the “California Federal Derivative Actions”). The California Federal Derivative Actions allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making false or misleading statements or omissions concerning the Company’s cybersecurity controls, vulnerability to data breaches and the Company’s integration of Auth0. The California Federal Derivative Actions seek orders permitting the plaintiffs to maintain the actions derivatively on behalf of the Company, awarding unspecified damages allegedly sustained by the Company, awarding restitution from the individual defendants and requiring the Company to make certain reforms to its corporate governance and controls. On February 22, 2023, the court entered a stipulated order consolidating the California Federal Derivative Actions, appointing co-lead counsel for plaintiffs and staying the consolidated California Federal Derivative Actions during the pendency of the motion to dismiss in the securities class action lawsuit. The consolidated California Federal Derivative Actions are captioned

In re Okta, Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation, No. 3:22-cv-07480. On May 9, 2023, the court entered a stipulated order continuing the stay through the close of discovery in the securities class action lawsuit and, on January 27, 2025, the court entered an order continuing the stay.

On April 14, 2023, another shareholder filed a substantially similar derivative lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against certain of the Company’s current and former executive officers and directors, captioned Buono v. McKinnon et al., No. 1:23-cv-00413 (the “Buono Action”). On May 31, 2023, the court entered a stipulated order whereby the defendants agreed to accept service and stay the Buono Action through the close of discovery in the securities class action lawsuit.

On January 25, 2024, another shareholder filed a substantially similar derivative lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against certain of the Company’s current and former executive officers and directors, captioned Nasr v. McKinnon, et al., No. 1:24-cv-00106 (together with the Buono Action, the “Delaware Federal Derivative Actions”). On March 18, 2024, the court entered a stipulated order whereby the defendants agreed to accept service and stay the derivative action through the close of discovery in the securities class action lawsuit.

On July 1, 2024, another shareholder filed a substantially similar derivative lawsuit in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”) against certain of the Company’s current and former executive officers and directors, captioned Grimaldi v. McKinnon, et al., C.A. No. 2024-0685-PAF (the “Grimaldi Action”). On July 19, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court entered a stipulated order whereby the defendants agreed to accept service and to stay the derivative action through final approval of the settlement in the securities class action lawsuit.

On October 18, 2024, another shareholder filed a substantially similar derivative lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court against certain of the Company’s current and former executive officers and directors, captioned Duprat v. McKinnon, et al., C.A. No. 2024-1072-PAF (the “Duprat Action”). On November 8, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court entered a stipulated order where the defendants agreed to accept service in the Duprat Action; the Grimaldi Action and the Duprat Action were consolidated (the “Delaware Chancery Actions”); and the Delaware Chancery Actions were stayed pursuant to the terms previously entered in the Grimaldi Action.

On January 10, 2025, the Company and defendants agreed in principle to the non-monetary terms of a global resolution of the California Federal Derivative Actions, the Delaware Federal Derivative Actions and the Delaware Chancery Actions (collectively, the “Derivative Actions”), and executed a Memorandum of Understanding in connection therewith containing the agreed-upon material, non-monetary terms of the proposed settlement. The parties in the Derivative Actions subsequently agreed that the Company would not oppose a fee award to plaintiffs’ counsel of $2.25 million, which the Company, as part of the final settlement documentation, will agree to cause its D&O insurers to pay. The parties in the Derivative Actions executed a Stipulation of Settlement on June 26, 2025, and the plaintiffs in the consolidated California Federal Derivative Actions filed a motion for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement on July 1, 2025. On August 18, 2025, the court in the consolidated California Federal Derivative Actions granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement. The proposed settlement remains subject to final approval, and the court in the consolidated California Federal Derivative Actions has set a final settlement approval hearing for October 24, 2025.

Warranties and Indemnification

To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs and has not accrued any material liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of its warranty and indemnification obligations.

  1. Employee Incentive Plans

The Company’s equity incentive plans provide for granting stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) to employees, consultants, officers and directors and RSUs with market-based vesting conditions to certain executives. In addition, the Company offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) to eligible employees.

Stock-based compensation expense was recorded in the following cost and expense categories in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Three Months EndedJuly 31,Six Months EndedJuly 31,
2025202420252024
(dollars in millions)

Total$144$148$272$299

The following table presents total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding equity awards as of July 31, 2025:

Unrecognized Stock-based Compensation Expense(in millions)Weighted-average remaining period (in years)
Unvested RSUs$7811.9 years
Unvested RSAs121.6 years
ESPP70.5 years
Total$800

Market-based Restricted Stock Units

In March 2025, the Company granted market-based RSUs to certain members of management. The target number of market-based RSUs granted was 322,599. One-third of these market-based RSUs vest over each of a one-, two- andthree-year performance period, each starting on February 1, 2025. The number of shares that can be earned ranges from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares based on the relative performance of the per share price of the Company’s common stock as compared to the Nasdaq Composite Index over the respective performance periods and subject to continuous employment through the vesting dates. The $196.20 average grant date fair value per target market-based RSU was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Compensation expense for awards with market conditions is recognized over the service period using the accelerated attribution method and is not reversed if the market condition is not met.

  1. Income Taxes

For the three months ended July 31, 2025, the Company recorded an insignificant provision for income taxes on pretax income of $67 million. For the six months ended July 31, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $6 million on pretax income of $135 million. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 was approximately 0.5% and 4.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of a full valuation allowance against the U.S. deferred tax assets, the favorable tax impact of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”), the tax effect of foreign operations, and other U.S. federal and state taxes.

The Act was enacted on July 4, 2025. The Act, among other provisions, maintains the U.S. federal 21% corporate tax rate, makes permanent the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, allows for 100% bonus depreciation for qualified assets, and modifies the U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. The provisions of the Act have staggered effective dates beginning in 2025 and continuing through 2027.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the effects of changes in tax laws are recognized in the period of enactment. As a result, the Company evaluated the impact of the Act on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consequently, the Company’s provision for income tax was computed to reflect the enactment of the Act resulting in a cumulative decrease to income tax expense of $5 million recorded during the three months ended July 31, 2025. This decrease is primarily attributable to the provision, under the Act, for immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures.

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for (benefit from) income taxes of $(17) million and $1 million on a pretax income of $12 million and pretax loss of $10 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 was approximately (158.8)% and (2.5)%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of a full valuation allowance against the U.S. deferred tax assets, the tax effect of foreign operations, the tax impacts of the Spera Cybersecurity, Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively, “Spera”) integration, and U.S. federal and state taxes.

The Company entered into capped call transactions in connection with the issuance of the convertible senior notes. The effect of the capped calls was also excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as the effect of the capped calls would have been anti-dilutive.

  1. Subsequent Events

On August 25, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Axiom Security Ltd, a privately held company specializing in privileged access management solutions. The acquisition is expected to broaden the Company's privileged access management capabilities. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and will be financed with cash on hand. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's fiscal 2026 financial results.
