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 “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 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;
the effects of macroeconomic uncertainties, including rising interest rates, foreign exchange rate volatility, global geopolitical uncertainties, inflationary pressures, the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic 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 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” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023. Moreover, we operate in a very 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
2


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.
Where You Can Find More Information
We announce material information to the public through a variety of means, including filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases, public conference calls, our website (freshworks.com), the investor relations section of our website (ir.freshworks.com), our LinkedIn account (linkedin.com/company/freshworks-inc/), and our TwitterX (formerly Twitter) account (@FreshworksInc). We use these channels to communicate with investors and the public about our company, our products and services and other matters. Therefore, we encourage investors, the media and others interested in our company to review the information we make public in these locations, as such information could be deemed to be material information.

FRESHWORKS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Freshworks Inc. (Freshworks, or the Company) is a software development company that provides modern software-as-a-service (SaaS) products that are designed with the user in mind. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 2010 and is headquartered in San Mateo, California.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive loss, of cash flows, and of stockholders’ equity for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 the Company’s financial position as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023.
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 income 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;
expected benefit period of deferred contract acquisition costs;
capitalization of internal-use software development costs;
fair value of goodwill;
10


useful lives of long-lived assets;
valuation of deferred tax assets;
valuation of employee defined benefit plan;
fair value of share-based awards, including performance-based awards; and
incremental borrowing rate used for operating leases.
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. The Company’s 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, the Company has 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 the Company’s revenue for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022 or that represented 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable balance as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023.
The Company primarily relies upon its 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 the Company's operations and its business could be adversely impacted.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023. However, starting in 2023, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of its forecasted foreign currency expenses and while the impact of the Company's derivative instruments is not material to its condensed consolidated financial statements, the accounting policy on Derivative Instruments is discussed below.
Derivative Instruments
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts, most of which were designated as cash flow hedges, in order to manage the volatility of cash flows that relate to cost of revenues and operating expenses denominated in Indian Rupee. All derivative instruments are measured at fair value based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments and as such, classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheets under prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued liabilities, respectively.
Gains or losses related to cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) on the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity until the forecasted transaction occurs in earnings. When the forecasted transaction occurs, the related gains and losses are reclassified into earnings within the financial statement line item associated with the underlying hedged transaction. If the underlying hedged transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that the hedged transaction will not occur, the cumulative unrealized gain or loss is reclassified immediately from AOCI into earnings within interest and other income. Changes in the fair value of currency forward exchange contracts due to changes in time value were excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. The initial value of this excluded component is amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the hedging instrument and recognized in the financial statement line item to which the hedge relates. A majority of the balance related to foreign exchange derivative instruments included in AOCI at JuneSeptember 30, 2023 is expected to be reclassified into earnings within 12 months.
11


Derivative instruments are classified in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as cash from operating activities, which reflect the classification of the underlying hedged transactions.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the total notional amount of outstanding designated foreign currency forward contracts was $43.6$49.4 million. The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, and all related unrealized and realized gains and losses during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, were not material.
Entering into derivative instruments exposes the Company to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contract. The Company mitigates this credit risk by transacting with major financial institutions with high credit ratings. In addition, the Company has entered into master netting arrangements that mitigate credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions. As such, the Company's exposure is not considered significant. The Company does not have any collateral requirements with its counterparties.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Revenue From Contracts with Customers
The Company derives revenue from subscription fees and related professional services. The Company sells subscriptions for its cloud-based solutions directly to customers and indirectly through channel partners through arrangements that are non-cancelable and non-refundable. The Company’s 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. The Company records revenue net of sales or value-added taxes.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table summarizes revenue by the Company’s service offerings (in thousands):

See Note 11 for revenue by geographic location.
Deferred Revenue and Remaining Performance Obligations
Deferred revenue consists of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized from the Company’s subscription and professional services arrangements.
Revenue recognized during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of these periods was $103.5$109.5 million and $80.3$86.2 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of these periods was $155.1$192.6 million and $118.2$146.9 million, respectively.
The aggregate balance of remaining performance obligations as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023 was $350.8$375.8 million. The Company expects to recognize $267.8$285.0 million of the balance as revenue in the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. The aggregate balance of remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future

In addition to available-for-sale debt securities, marketable securities also include term bond mutual funds, which are measured at fair value. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the term bond mutual funds was $1.6 million and $1.5 million, in each period presented.respectively. The change in fair value of the term bond mutual funds is recorded in interest and other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The realized and unrealized gains recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the term bond mutual funds were not material during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022.
4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its 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 the Company has 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.
The Company did not have any assets or liabilities subject to fair value remeasurement on a nonrecurring basis as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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 the Company, certain of its current officers and directors, and underwriters of the Company's initial public offering (IPO). On April 14, 2023, the court-appointed lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended class action complaint. The 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 the IPO. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees, costs, and rescission on behalf of purchasers and/or acquirers of common stock issued in the IPO. On June 14,September 28, 2023, defendants filed athe court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint, which is pending.dismiss. The Company and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend against the remaining 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 the Company’s current directors, as well as the Company, 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. The Company and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend against the claims in this action.
From time to time, the Company has 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. It has 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 the Company believes will have a material adverse impact on the business or condensed consolidated financial statements.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which the Company agrees 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 the Company has violated applicable laws, if the Company is negligent or commits acts of willful misconduct, and other liabilities with respect to its products and services and its business. In these circumstances, payment is typically conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract. The Company also indemnifies certain of its officers, directors and certain key employees while they are serving in good faith in their respective capacities. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
8. Stockholders' Equity and Stock-Based Compensation
Equity Compensation Plans
In August 2021, the board of directors (the Board) adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan) and the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), effective upon the IPO. Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, the Board may grant incentive stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, non-statutory stock options to
19


purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance awards (PRSUs) and other awards. The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock. Both the 2021 Plan and ESPP include an automatic increase to their shares reserve on January 1 of each year as set forth in the respective plan documents.
In August 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted the 2022 Inducement Plan (the Inducement Plan) in accordance with Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Under the Inducement Plan,
19


nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, PRSUs and other awards may be granted as an inducement material to an eligible person's entering into employment with the Company.

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 the Company’s 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, except for the first purchase period, which began upon the completion of the IPO in September 2021 and ended on May 13, 2022. TheDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company issued 367,319 shares under the ESPP in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the Company issued 510,093 shares under the ESPP, in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,respectively, in each case net of shares withheld and retired to satisfy withholding tax requirements for certain employees in jurisdictions outside the United States. The weighted average purchase price was $11.87 with net proceeds of $4.3 million in both the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, and the weighted average purchase price was $13.76 with net proceeds of $7.0 million in both the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022.
The ESPP also includes a reset provision for the purchase price if the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the first day of any purchase period is less than or equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the first day of an ongoing offering. If the reset provision is triggered, a new 24-month offering period begins. The reset provision under the ESPP was triggered on May 16, 2022, and again on November 16, 2022. 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. The previous modifications did not have a material effect on the Company's stock-based compensation expense during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023.
Stock-based compensation expense related to ESPP was $2.5$1.5 million and $4.0$2.2 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4.5$6.0 million and $7.2$9.4 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Determination of Fair Value of the ESPP
The Company estimates the fair value of the ESPP using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires certain complex valuation assumption inputs such as expected term, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The fair value of each of the four purchase periods is estimated separately. The following table summarizes the range of valuation assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the ESPP during the period:

The total fair value of vested RSUs during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022 was $47.5$50.7 million and $42.4 million, respectively. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, the total fair value of vested RSUs was $86.4$137.1 million and $149.0$191.4 million, respectively.
Performance-Based Awards
In May 2019, the Board approved a grant of 166,390 shares of PRSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The vesting of these PRSUs is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain milestones. The revenue-
21


relatedrevenue-related milestone and the liquidity event condition were met prior to December 31, 2021. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the time-based vesting was the only condition yet to be satisfied over the remaining requisite service period, and the number of shares to vest subject to this condition is insignificant.
In September 2021, the Board approved a grant of 6,000,000 PRSUs to the Company's CEO with a time-based service condition beginning January 1, 2022, and a market condition involving five separate stock price targets ranging from $70.00 to $200.00 per share for each of the five vesting tranches (CEO Performance Award). These stock price targets will be measured based on the average closing price over a consecutive 60-trading day period, beginning on the first trading day after the expiration of the final lock-up period in February 2022. The vesting of the CEO Performance Award is contingent upon the completion of the requisite service through January 1, 2029 and the achievement of the specified stock price target in each tranche on or before January 1, 2029. The stock price targets are not required to be achieved within the service period of each tranche, and accordingly, multiple tranches can vest at the same date if the specified stock price targets are achieved after December 31, 2025. The CEO Performance Award had a total grant date fair value of $131.0 million. The fair value of the CEO Performance Award was determined at grant date by using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires certain complex valuation assumption inputs such as measurement period, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with PRSUs granted to the CEO of $7.0$7.1 million for each of the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022; and $13.9$21.0 million each for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022. These expenses were recorded in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

9. 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 common shares. 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. The Company considers its 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 and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, 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):

10. Income Taxes
The Company's quarterly tax provision and estimates of its annual effective tax rate are estimates due to several factors, including changes in pre-tax income (or loss), the mix of jurisdictions to which such income relates, discrete items (such as windfalls or shortfalls from stock-based compensation) in the period offset with our valuation allowance. The provision for income taxes was $3.63.3 million and $2.2$1.8 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively; and $7.6$10.9 million and $4.7$6.5 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the provision for income taxes in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, as compared to the same periods in 2022, was primarily due to an increase in profit before tax from foreign jurisdictions.

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, 2022 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. As described in the section titled "Special Note About 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,” and in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023.
Overview
Our mission is to make it fast and easy for businesses to delight their customers and employees.
We provide businesses of all sizes with modern SaaS products that are designed with the end-user in mind. Our primary product offerings include Freshdesk, our customer experience (CX) product; Freshservice, our IT service management (ITSM) product; Freshsales and Freshmarketer, our sales force and marketing automation solutions; and Freshchat, our messaging/chat product offering.
We generate revenue primarily from the sale of subscriptions for accessing our cloud-based software products over the contract term. Our subscription arrangements are available in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual plans, and we typically invoice for the full term in advance. We also sell professional services that include product configuration, data migration, systems integration, and training. Professional services revenue is recognized as services are performed.
Our customer base and operations have scaled over time. Our total revenue was $145.1$153.6 million and $121.4$128.8 million in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing a year-over-year growth rate of 19%; and $282.8$436.3 million and $236.1$364.8 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively; representing a year-over-year growth rate of 20%. We incurred operating losses of $43.3$38.7 million and $67.4$58.3 million for three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively; and $91.4$130.1 million and $114.5$172.8 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Macroeconomic and Other Factors
Current macroeconomic uncertainties, including inflationary pressures, significant volatility in global markets, geopolitical developments, and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic 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. Additionally, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted our revenue growth in 2022. During the secondthird quarter of 2023, while the Euro and British Pound remained relatively stable against the U.S. dollar, volatility in the foreign currency market still exists. Compared to prior year, the United States Dollar weakened against the Euro and British Pound which contributed to positive impacts in our results of operations. For the quarters ended September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 March 31, 2023 and JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had approximately 27%, 26%27% and 27%26%, respectively, of revenue exposure related to the Euro and British Pound. If theseadverse conditions persist, they could have a material adverse impact on our results and our ability to accurately predict our future results and earnings.
Given our subscription-based business model, 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, productivity of our employees, future results of operations, and financial condition. See the section titled “Risk
26


Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023 for further discussion of the challenges and risks we have encountered and could encounter related to these macroeconomic events.
25


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 the 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.

Net dollar retention rateNet dollar retention rate108 %111 %Net dollar retention rate108 %107 %
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, and renewals during the measurement period and is net of any contraction or attrition over this period.
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 19%18% and 22%21% of ARR as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 ofwas 108% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023 decreased2023. On constant currency basis, our net dollar retention rate was 106% which was a decrease from 111%107% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 primarily due to lower expansion within existing customers driven by macroeconomic pressures. We expect our net dollar retention rate could fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors, including our expected growth, the level of penetration
27


within our customer base, our ability to upsell and cross-sell products to existing customers, and our ability to retain our customers.
26


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 (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), 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, including the related income tax effect of these adjustments:
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 operation of our business.
Non-GAAP Income (Loss) From Operations and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)
We define non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as loss from operations, excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, and amortization of acquired intangibles.
We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net loss, excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions and amortization of acquired intangibles, net of their related tax effects.
The following tables present a reconciliation of our loss from operations to our non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and our GAAP net loss to our non-GAAP net income (loss) for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) 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. 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.

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.
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.
Our subscription arrangements are available in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual plans, and we typically invoice for the full term in advance. Our payment terms generally require the customers to pay the invoiced amount in advance or within 30 days from the invoice date. Our professional services are generally billed in advance along with the related subscription 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 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.

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, 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.
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, 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, software license fees, and rental of office premises. Sales commissions that are considered incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers are deferred and amortized over the expected 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 in-person 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.

As a publicly traded company, 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.

We maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. 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.

Interest income increased by $17.6$25.2 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, primarily due to higherapproximately $15.9 million increase in interest income earned on higher balances maintained in our marketable securities portfolios andportfolios. The remaining increase in interest income is mostly attributed to an increase in average interest rates.rates compared to prior year.
Other income (expense), net changeddecreased by $2.7$3.8 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, primarily due to a favorable foreign exchange movement in the U.S. dollar.

We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States and taxes in foreign jurisdictions. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded provision for income taxes of $7.6$10.9 million and $4.7$6.5 million on loss before taxes of $70.7$98.4 million and $114.1$170.2 million, respectively. The increase in tax expense for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in profit before tax in foreign jurisdictions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $356.2$458.2 million and marketable securities of $804.6$706.5 million. Our marketable securities consist primarily of U.S. treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, corporate debt securities, and mutual funds.
Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with financing through the issuance of redeemable convertible preferred and common stock to investors. In September 2021, we completed our IPO which generated net proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $3.6 billion. Our operating activities resulted in cash inflows of $31.4$55.3 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023.
Our other material cash requirements are related to the settlement of future contractual obligations associated with operating leases and other service subscription agreements (as described in Contractual Obligations and Commitments below).
We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, 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 requirements and obligations through a combination of our existing cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flow from operations, and issuances of equity securities or debt offerings. 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
37


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.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $31.4$55.3 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 reflects our net loss of $78.3$109.4 million, adjusted for non-cash items such as stock-based compensation of $104.9$160.1 million, amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs of $11.5$17.6 million, depreciation and amortization of $6.1$9.1 million and non-cash lease expense of $3.7$5.7 million; offset by $7.8$12.1 million from discount amortization of marketable securities and net cash outflows of $8.8$15.9 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities of $5.5$9.7 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 reflects our net loss of $118.8$176.7 million, adjusted for non-cash items such as stock-based compensation of $96.8$150.7 million, amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs of $8.7$13.3 million, depreciation and amortization of $5.8$8.6 million, non-cash lease expense of $2.9$4.5 million, premium amortization of marketable securities of $1.1$0.6 million, and net cash outflows of $3.3$12.3 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities of $44.1$146.3 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 consisted of $48.3$152.3 million in proceeds from maturities and sales, net of purchases of marketable securities; offset by $3.5$5.1 million in capitalized internal-use software and $0.7$1.0 million in purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities of $20.9$161.1 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 consisted of $14.8$152.1 million in purchases of marketable securities, net of proceeds from maturities and sales, $3.4$5.3 million in purchases of property and equipment, and $2.7$3.8 million in capitalized internal-use software.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The withholding taxes paid includes the taxes related to the settlement and release of all remaining RSUs subject to the terms of certain lock-up agreements with the underwriters of the IPO that expired in February 2022.
37


Remaining Performance Obligations on Customer Contracts
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. A small portion of our annual contracts may have billing terms that are different from their subscription terms, and most of our multi-year contracts are invoiced annually. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, remaining performance obligations totaled $350.8$375.8 million, which comprised $234.4$246.1 million of deferred revenue and $116.4$129.7 million of unbilled revenue.
We expect that the value of the remaining performance obligations will change from one period to another for several reasons, including new contracts, timing of renewals, cancellations, contract modifications and foreign currency fluctuations. We believe that fluctuations in remaining performance obligations are not necessarily a reliable indicator of future revenue and we do not utilize it as a key management metric internally.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our principal commitments consist of operating lease obligations for office space and contractual obligations under third-party cloud infrastructure agreements and service subscription agreements.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, our estimated future contractual obligations totaled $112.5$104.5 million, of which $30.0$30.8 million and $82.5$73.7 million were operating lease commitments and other contractual obligations, respectively. See Note 6 - Leases and Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies in the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Indemnification Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which we agree to indemnify customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us, or from data breaches or intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain officers and employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers, or employees. No demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
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 and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. 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 and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 as compared to those disclosed in our "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
39


Financial Condition and Results of Operations" set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023.

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 isare 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.
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 JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the total notional amount of outstanding designated foreign currency forward contracts was $43.6$49.4 million. The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, and all related unrealized and realized gains and losses during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 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.
Based on a sensitivity analysis we have performed as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, an adverse 10% foreign currency exchange rate change applied to total monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar would not have a material effect on our financial statements.
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, and corporate bonds, and commercial paper.bonds. We had cash and cash equivalents of $356.2$458.2 million and marketable securities of $804.6$706.5 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023. 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.
40


Based on an interest rate sensitivity analysis we have performed as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, 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, 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 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.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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 the IPO. On April 14, 2023, the court appointed lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended class action complaint. The 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 the IPO. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees, costs, and rescission on behalf of purchasers and/or acquirers of common stock issued in the IPO. On June 14,September 28, 2023, wethe court issued an order granting in part and the other defendants filed adenying in part defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint, which is pending.dismiss. We and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend against the remaining 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 intend to vigorously defend against the claims in this action.
In addition, from time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. There are no pending or threatened legal proceedings at this time to which we are a party that, in our opinion, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our future financial results of operations. However, the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of costly defense and settlement expenses, diversion of management and employee resources to defend such claims and other factors.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described under the section "Risk Factors" in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on May 4, 2023, as well as the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These identified risks and uncertainties may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material may also become important factors that affect our business. You should not interpret our disclosure of any of the foregoing risks to imply that such risks have not already materialized. There have been no material changes from the risks and uncertainties previously disclosed under the "Risk Factors" section in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023.
