- Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Unaudited interim consolidated financial information
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2026 and the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, and statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and the related disclosures are unaudited. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2026, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and its cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are in accordance with GAAP. The results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 (the “Annual Report”).
Use of estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management evaluates such estimates and assumptions for continued reasonableness. In particular, the Company makes estimates with respect to revenue recognition, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the valuation of long-lived assets, the period of benefit for deferred contract costs, income taxes, share-based compensation expense, and the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used for operating lease liabilities, among other things. Management bases these estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant accounting policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which introduces a practical expedient for estimating the expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 on a prospective basis on April 1, 2026 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract, which clarifies the application of derivative accounting to certain contracts and refines the guidance for share-based noncash consideration received from customers. ASU 2025-07 introduces a scope exception for contracts that are non exchange-traded and whose underlying is tied to operations or activities specific to one party. The Company early adopted ASU 2025-07 on a prospective basis on April 1, 2026 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires the disclosure of more detailed information on commonly presented expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning fiscal 2028 and interim periods beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40); Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes the software development stages in the capitalization guidance and introduces a more judgment-based capitalization approach. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, which is the Company’s fiscal 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2025-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

- Business Combinations
Bindplane
On April 14, 2026, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of observIQ, Inc. d/b/a Bindplane (“Bindplane”), a provider of an open-standards-based telemetry pipeline that helps organizations capture and manage data at scale, for an aggregate purchase price of $99.7 million. The acquisition provides Dynatrace’s customers greater access, flexibility, and control of their logs, metrics, and application data. The purchase consideration consisted of $100.2 million of cash paid at closing and a $0.4 million receivable for purchase price adjustments that was received during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued $3.3 million of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Bindplane employees, which will vest based on future service periods. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2026, $0.5 million and $0.8 million were recognized as share-based compensation expense, respectively.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price was allocated to the preliminary fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill as shown below (in thousands).
| Assets acquired: | |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 678 |
| Accounts receivable, net | 1,733 |
| Prepaid expenses and other assets | 1,077 |
| Property and equipment | 74 |
| Intangible assets | 44,950 |
| Total assets acquired | $48,512 |
| Liabilities assumed: | |
| Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities | 818 |
| Deferred revenue | 1,089 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 8,239 |
| Total liabilities assumed | $10,146 |
| Net assets acquired | 38,366 |
| Aggregate purchase price | 99,749 |
| Goodwill | $61,383 |
The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change as additional information is obtained related to working capital and deferred income taxes during the measurement period. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
Goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies and the acquired skilled workforce. The goodwill was allocated to the Company’s single reporting unit. The Company identified developed technology, customer relationships, and trademarks and tradenames as acquired intangible assets. The estimated fair value of these intangible assets was based on valuations using the income approach. The acquired goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes.
The fair value and estimated useful life for these intangible assets were as follows (in thousands, except years):
| Fair Value | Estimated Useful Life | |
|---|---|---|
| Developed technology | $38,700 | 7 years |
| Customer relationships | 3,400 | 4 years |
| Trademarks and tradenames | 2,850 | 10 years |
| Total intangible assets | $44,950 |
The operating results of Bindplane from the date of acquisition, which are not material, have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
- Investments and Fair Value Measurements
The following table summarizes the amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, including those securities classified within “Cash and cash equivalents” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amortized Cost | Gross Unrealized Gains | Gross Unrealized Losses | Fair Value | |
| U.S. treasury securities | $85,019 | $2 | $(407) | $84,614 |

| Amortized Cost | Gross Unrealized Gains | Gross Unrealized Losses | Fair Value | |
| U.S. treasury securities | $92,611 | $74 | $(105) | $92,580 |
| Corporate debt securities | 25,491 | 23 | (44) | 25,470 |

| Commercial paper | 2,588 | — | — | 2,588 |
| Total | $124,677 | $97 | $(150) | $124,624 |
Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, are included within accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company regularly reviews the securities in an unrealized loss position and evaluates the current expected credit loss by considering factors such as credit ratings, issuer-specific factors, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Based on the evaluation of available evidence, the Company does not believe any unrealized losses on its marketable securities as of September 30, 2026 represent credit losses.
As of September 30, 2026, the fair values of available-for-sale securities, excluding those securities classified within “Cash and cash equivalents” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, by remaining contractual maturity were as follows (in thousands):
| September 30, 2026 | |
|---|---|
| Due within one year | $56,498 |
| Due in one year through five years | 45,642 |
| Total | $102,140 |
The Company offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to eligible U.S. employees and directors. The Company held $3.5 million and $2.2 million of mutual funds that are associated with this plan and were classified as restricted trading securities as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. These securities are not included in the tables above but are included as marketable securities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recorded interest income from its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $13.1 million and $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $22.2 million and $26.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

| Balance, end of period | $1,411,758 |
Intangible assets, net, excluding goodwill, consisted of the following (in thousands):
| Gross Carrying Amount | Accumulated Amortization | Net Carrying Amount | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capitalized software | $74,745 | $(18,643) | $56,102 |
| Customer relationships | 3,711 | (548) | 3,163 |
| Trademarks and tradenames | 2,850 | (133) | 2,717 |
| Total intangible assets | $81,306 | $(19,324) | $61,982 |
| Gross Carrying Amount | Accumulated Amortization | Net Carrying Amount | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capitalized software | $35,710 | $(13,057) | $22,653 |
| Customer relationships | 312 | (115) | 197 |
| Total intangible assets | $36,022 | $(13,172) | $22,850 |
Amortization of intangible assets totaled $3.1 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $6.1 million and $2.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
As of September 30, 2026, the estimated future amortization expense of the Company’s intangible assets was as follows (in thousands):
| Fiscal Years Ending March 31, | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2027 (remaining six months) | $6,274 |
| 2028 | 12,543 |
| 2029 | 11,634 |
| 2030 | 10,368 |
| 2031 | 7,824 |
| Thereafter | 13,339 |
| Total | $61,982 |
- Income Taxes
The Company computes its interim provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to income from operations and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items occurring in the period. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was 36.7% compared to 34.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in the net controlled foreign corporation tested income (“NCTI”) inclusion, partially offset by the recognition of a $9.4 million tax benefit related to an intra-entity transfer of the global economic rights of Bindplane IP from a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of the Company to a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary of the Company.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2026 was 44.4% compared to 37.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in the NCTI inclusion and the tax impact of share-based compensation shortfalls recognized in the current fiscal year as compared to share-based compensation windfalls recognized in the prior fiscal year. This increase was partially offset by the recognition of a $9.4 million tax benefit related to an intra-entity transfer of the global economic rights of Bindplane IP from a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of the Company to a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary of the Company.
- Long-term Debt
2031 Exchangeable Senior Notes
In August 2026, Dynatrace LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $1,437.5 million aggregate principal amount of Exchangeable Senior Notes (the “2031 Notes”). The 2031 Notes mature on September 1, 2031, unless earlier exchanged, redeemed, or repurchased. The 2031 Notes do not bear regular interest and the principal amount of the 2031 Notes does not accrete. The 2031 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of August 20, 2026 (the “Indenture”), among Dynatrace LLC, the Company, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The 2031 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Dynatrace LLC and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by the Company.
The Company accounts for the 2031 Notes as a liability at amortized cost, as no embedded features require bifurcation or other separate accounting. Costs of $26.9 million incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2031 Notes are reported net with the liability and are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the 2031 Notes.
The 2031 Notes are exchangeable at an initial exchange rate of 15.5585 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of $64.27 per share and represents approximately 22.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial exchange price represented an exchange premium of approximately 35% above the last reported sale price of $47.61 per share of the common stock on The New York Stock Exchange on August 17, 2026. The exchange rate of the 2031 Notes is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2031, holders may exchange all or any portion of the 2031 Notes only upon the occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2026 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ended on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 150% of the exchange price on each applicable trading day;
during thefive business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the exchange rate on each such trading day;
if Dynatrace LLC calls any 2031 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the 2031 Notes called (or deemed called, in the case of an optional redemption) for redemption; or
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as set forth in the Indenture.
On or after June 1, 2031 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may exchange all or any portion of their 2031 Notes at any time regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon exchange of the 2031 Notes, Dynatrace LLC will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of both, at Dynatrace LLC’s election.
Dynatrace LLC may not redeem the 2031 Notes prior to September 6, 2029, except in the event of a Cleanup Redemption (as defined below). On or after September 6, 2029 and prior to the 21 st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, Dynatrace LLC may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2031 Notes (subject to a partial redemption limitation set forth in the Indenture), at its option, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Dynatrace LLC provides notice of redemption (an “Optional Redemption”). In addition, subject to certain conditions, Dynatrace LLC may redeem for cash all, but not less than all, of the 2031 Notes at any time prior to the 21 st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date if the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes that remains outstanding at such time is less than $100 million (a “Cleanup Redemption”). The redemption price for any 2031 Notes called for Optional Redemption or Cleanup Redemption will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the related redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2031 Notes.
Subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2031 Notes will have the right to require Dynatrace LLC to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid special interest, if any. In connection with certain corporate events or if Dynatrace LLC calls any 2031 Notes for redemption, Dynatrace LLC will, under certain circumstances, increase the exchange rate for holders who elect to exchange their 2031 Notes in connection with any such corporate event or exchange their 2031 Notes called for redemption.
The following table presents the net carrying value and fair value of the 2031 Notes as of September 30, 2026 (in thousands):
| September 30, 2026 | |
|---|---|
| Principal | $1,437,500 |
| Less: unamortized debt issuance costs | (26,258) |
| Net carrying value | $1,411,242 |
| Fair value (1) | $1,583,454 |
(1)The fair value was determined based on the closing quoted price of the 2031 Notes on the last trading day of the period and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, because the 2031 Notes are not actively traded in the market.
Exchangeable note hedge and warrant transactions
In connection with the 2031 Notes, Dynatrace LLC and the Company entered into exchangeable note hedge transactions (the “2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges”) for an aggregate premium of $412.6 million. The 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges are expected to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock if the 2031 Exchangeable Notes are exchanged and/or offset any cash payments the Company may be required to make in excess of the principal amount.
The 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges cover approximately 22.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial strike price of $64.27 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2031 Notes. The 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges will expire upon the maturity of the 2031 Notes, if not earlier exercised or terminated.
Separately from the 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges and in connection with the 2031 Notes, the Company entered into warrant transactions (the “2031 Warrants”) to acquire up to 22.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial strike price of $107.12 per share, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2031 Warrants. The Company received proceeds of $244.8 million from the issuance of the 2031 Warrants. The 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges and 2031 Warrants will generally have the effect of increasing the exchange price of the 2031 Notes to the 2031 Warrants strike price of $107.12 per share.
The Company determined that the 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges and 2031 Warrants meet the criteria for equity classification, because they are indexed to the Company's common stock and the Company has the option to settle both in shares of common stock or in cash. The 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges and 2031 Warrants are not remeasured as long as they continue to meet the criteria for equity classification. The Company recognized the purchase of the 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges as a decrease in additional paid-in capital and the 2031 Warrants as an increase in additional paid-in capital.
The Company structured the 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges as tax integrated for federal income tax purposes pursuant to applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, the $412.6 million cost of the 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges will be deductible for income tax purposes over the life of the hedges.
