SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements involve substantial risk and uncertainties. All statements contained in this Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, market growth and trends, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “likely,” “target,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about our expectations regarding:
•trends in key business metrics, including annual recurring revenue (“ARR”), number of customers and dollar-based net retention rate, and non-GAAP financial measures and their usefulness in evaluating our business;
•trends in revenue, cost of revenue, and gross margin;
•impact of an economic downturn or recession, inflation, tariffs and trade wars, or significant market volatility in the global economy on our customers, partners, employees and business;
•trends in operating expenses, including research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expense, and expectations regarding these expenses as a percentage of revenue;
•our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by sales of our products being sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months and our ability to meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations, through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and available cash and short-term investment balances;
•our ability to attract and retain executives and employees we need to support our operations and growth and the impact of our recent restructuring on those abilities;
•our ability to effectively identify, acquire, and integrate complementary companies, technologies, and assets, including our ability to successfully integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning in our offerings;
•our ability to service the interest on our convertible notes and repay such notes, to the extent required;
•our efforts to maintain proper and effective internal controls;
•our ability to expand our operations and increase adoption of our platform internationally;
•our ability to stay abreast of new or modified laws and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to our business both in the United States and internationally; and
•other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition, and prospects and business strategies.
Such forward-looking statements are based on our expectations as of the date of this filing and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, risks detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 12, 2026. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC, that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks are continually emerging. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Form 10-Q may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or may not occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements. In addition, the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this filing, and we do not undertake, and expressly disclaim any duty, to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Form 10-Q or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

PAGERDUTY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
PagerDuty, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in May 2010.
PagerDuty, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which PagerDuty, Inc. holds a controlling interest (collectively, the “Company”), provides a digital operations management platform that manages urgent and mission-critical work for a modern, digital business (the “PagerDuty Platform”). The PagerDuty Platform collects data and digital signals from virtually any software-enabled system or device and leverages advanced artificial intelligence and powerful machine learning to correlate, process, predict, and remediate incidents and opportunities in real time. This intelligence powers the Company’s core capabilities in incident management, bringing together the right people with the right context and recommended actions so they can resolve issues in minutes or seconds, from anywhere.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of PagerDuty, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending January 31, 2027 or for any other interim period, or for any future year.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2027 refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation. The Company has reclassified the change in deferred tax assets from the prepaid expenses and other assets line item to the deferred income taxes line item and the change in deferred tax liabilities from the accrued expenses and other liabilities line item to the deferred income taxes line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. This reclassification had no effect on the reported net cash provided by operating activities.
10
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve the period of benefit for amortizing deferred contract costs, stock-based compensation, redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interests, estimates surrounding the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets, and estimates related to the Company’s revenue recognition, such as the assessment of performance obligations in the Company’s revenue arrangements and the fair value assigned to each performance obligation, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments, and accounts receivable. All of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments are invested in money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, or U.S. Government agency securities that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investments are spread across several different financial institutions.
No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the total accounts receivable balance as of July 31, 2026 or January 31, 2026. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 or 2025.
Segment Information
Related Party Transactions
Certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors serve as directors of, or are executive officers of, and in some cases are investors in, companies that are customers or vendors of the Company. The Company had no
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Restricted Cash
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversion of Convertible Debt Instruments. This ASU clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended April 30, 2026, this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 requires that at each interim and annual reporting period, an entity discloses the amounts of certain expenses included in each relevant expense caption. The newly required expense disclosures include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. The amendment also requires that an entity discloses a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and discloses the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU amends the requirements for commencing capitalization of software costs related to software development projects. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
In May 2022, the Company established a joint venture, PagerDuty K.K. The Company obtained a 51 % controlling interest and has consolidated the financial results of the joint venture.
The agreements with the non-controlling interest holders of PagerDuty K.K. contain redemption features whereby the interest held by the non-controlling interest holders is redeemable either: (i) at the option of the non-controlling interest holders; or (ii) at the option of the Company, both beginning on the tenth anniversary of the initial capital contribution. The balance of the redeemable non-controlling interest is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the redeemable non-controlling interest's share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its redemption value, which is determined based on a prescribed formula derived from multiple metrics including the annual recurring revenue of PagerDuty K.K. The resulting changes in the estimated redemption amount are recorded with corresponding adjustments against additional paid-in capital due to the absence of retained earnings. The carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest is recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity.

As of July 31, 2026, there were 118 securities in an unrealized loss position with an aggregate fair value of $197.6 million, none of which were in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. As of January 31, 2026, there were 43 securities in an unrealized loss position with an aggregate fair value of $64.6 million, none of which were in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months.
When evaluating investments for impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost. No impairment loss has been recorded on the securities included in the tables above, as the Company believes that any decrease in fair value of these securities is temporary and the Company expects to recover at least up to the initial cost of the investment for these securities. The Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses, as the Company believes any such losses would not be material based on the high-grade credit rating for each of its marketable securities as of the end of each period.
Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1—Valuations based on observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Valuations based on inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets that are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value using the above input categories as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

The Company’s assets that are measured by management at fair value on a recurring basis are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
15
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, the Company’s Level 2 securities are measured at fair value and classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company uses quoted market prices for similar instruments or nonbinding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data or alternative pricing sources and models using market observable inputs to determine fair value.
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash held in banks, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities and are excluded from the fair value table above.
Convertible Senior Notes
As of July 31, 2026, the estimated fair value of the Company’s 1.50 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) was approximately $379.5 million. The fair value was determined based on the quoted price for the 2028 Notes in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period and are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 8. Leases
Operating Leases
The Company has entered into various non-cancellable operating leases for its office spaces with lease periods expiring through fiscal 2033. The operating lease agreements generally provide for rental payments on a graduated basis and for options to renew, which could increase future minimum lease payments if exercised.
Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease’s commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate of the Company's leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The lease right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives such as tenant improvement allowances.
16
The Company’s operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. The Company has elected a practical expedient that allows it to include non-lease components with lease payments for the purpose of calculating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments.
Leases with a term of one year or less are not recognized on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, but rather are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 9. Debt and Financing Arrangements
2025 Convertible Senior Notes
In June 2020, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $287.5 million of convertible senior notes due in 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) in a private offering pursuant to an indenture dated June 25, 2020 (the “2025 Indenture”).
During the year ended January 31, 2026, the Company repaid the 2025 Notes in cash prior to the maturity date of July 1, 2025, which included aggregate principal amount of $57.5 million and accrued interest of $0.4 million.
17
2028 Convertible Senior Notes
In October 2023, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $402.5 million of convertible senior notes due in 2028 in a private offering pursuant to an indenture dated October 13, 2023 (the “2028 Indenture” and, together with the 2025 Indenture, the “Indentures”). The total net proceeds from the debt offering, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and debt issuance costs of $12.0 million, were $390.4 million.
The 2028 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2024, at a rate of 1.50 % per year. The 2028 Notes will mature on October 15, 2028, unless such notes are converted, redeemed or repurchased earlier. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect to the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes being converted, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the 2028 Indenture.
Accounting for the 2025 Notes and the 2028 Notes
The 2028 Notes are, and the 2025 Notes, prior to their repayment were, accounted for as a single liability measured at their amortized cost, as no other embedded features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. As of July 31, 2026, the 2028 Notes are classified as non-current liabilities. Issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the 2028 Notes at an effective interest rate of 2.13 %.

Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the offering of the 2028 Notes, the Company entered into separate privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2028 Capped Calls”). The 2028 Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce or offset the potential dilution to the common stock upon any conversion of the 2028 Notes, subject to a cap based on the cap price of such 2028 Capped Calls. For accounting purposes, the 2028 Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of the 2028 Notes. The 2028 Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The costs incurred to purchase the 2028 Capped Calls of $55.1 million, were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The 2028 Capped Calls will not be remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification.
During the year ended January 31, 2026, the capped call transactions with certain financial institution counterparties, entered into and in connection with the repayment of the 2025 Notes, expired.
18
The 2028 Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of approximately $27.35 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2028 Notes, and an initial cap price of $42.90 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The 2028 Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 14.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2028 Capped Calls are subject to automatic exercise over a 60 trading day period commencing on July 20, 2028, subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances and may be settled in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election. The 2028 Capped Calls remain outstanding as of July 31, 2026.
Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may be subject to various claims and other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company investigates these claims as they arise and accrues estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and estimable. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings nor is it aware of any pending or threatened litigation that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Warranties and Indemnification
The Company has entered into service-level agreements with a portion of its customers defining levels of uptime reliability and performance and permitting those customers to receive credits if the Company fails to meet the defined levels of uptime. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant failures to meet defined levels of uptime reliability and performance as a result of those agreements and, as a result, the Company has not incurred or accrued any material liabilities related to these agreements in the financial statements.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may 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 the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers and employees that will require the Company, 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 the Company to provide indemnification under such agreements, and there are no claims that the Company is aware of that could have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, or consolidated statements of cash flows.

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, the majority of revenue recognized was from the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each period.
The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations represents all future, non-cancelable contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, inclusive of deferred revenue that has been invoiced and non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The Company estimates its remaining performance obligations at a point in time. Actual amounts and timing of revenue recognition may differ from these estimates largely due to contract renewals and modifications.
19
As of July 31, 2026, total transaction price allocated to remaining non-cancelable performance obligations under cloud-hosted and term-license software subscription contracts with customers was approximately $426 million. Of this amount, the Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately $309 million, or 73 %, over the next 12 months, $94 million, or 22 %, over months 13 to 24 , and the remainder thereafter.
Note 12. Common Stock and Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock Repurchases
In March 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2025 Share Repurchase Program”), which was subsequently increased to $200.0 million in August 2025. During the six months ended July 31, 2026, the Company repurchased a total of 8,532,838 shares under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program and subsequently retired 8,896,106 shares, which includes 363,268 shares that remained in treasury stock as of January 31, 2026. No shares were repurchased or retired under the 2025 Share Repurchase program during the three months ended July 31, 2026. As of July 31, 2026, the 2025 Share Repurchase Program was complete and none of the total amount authorized to be repurchased remained available.
In May 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock, in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million (the “2026 Share Repurchase Program”). Share repurchases under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other legally permissible means, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The 2026 Share Repurchase Program expires in May 2028, unless extended or shortened by the Board of Directors, and does not obligate the Company to acquire a specified number of shares, and may be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time, without prior notice. The number of shares to be repurchased will depend on market conditions and other factors. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, the Company repurchased a total of 799,112 92.4 million of the total amount authorized to be repurchased remained available.
Equity Incentive Plan
In 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). As of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, the Company was authorized to grant up to 44,933,411 shares and 40,659,581 shares of common stock, respectively, under the 2019 Plan.
The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy stock award exercises and settlement of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). As of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, there were 24,298,651 shares and 23,024,478 shares, respectively, available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan.
Shares of common stock reserved for future issuance as of the end of the period noted are as follows:
| July 31, 2026 | |||||

Stock Options
As of July 31, 2026, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the 2019 Plan.

| Vested | ( | $ | |||||||||
| Forfeited or canceled | ( | $ | |||||||||
| Outstanding at July 31, 2026 | $ | ||||||||||
The fair value of the Company’s RSUs is expensed ratably over the vesting period, and is based on the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
As of July 31, 2026, there was $95.8 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years based on vesting under the award service conditions.
Performance Stock Units
The Company grants PSUs to certain employees of the Company, which, are to vest based on the level of achievement of certain targets related to the Company’s operating plan (the “Performance PSUs”) or the level of achievement of a Company target subject to a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) market condition based on the Company’s TSR as compared to the constituents of the BVP Nasdaq Emerging Cloud Index (the “Market PSUs”), over an approximate one-year performance period. The Performance PSUs vest over a three-year period, while the Market PSUs vest over a period ending on April 2, 2027. Both are subject to continuous service with the Company. The number of shares of common stock that will vest based on the performance and market conditions ranges from 0 % to 200 % of target for the Performance PSUs and 50 % to 200 % of target for the Market PSUs. Compensation expense for the Performance PSUs is measured using the fair value at the date of grant, and may be adjusted over the vesting period based on interim estimates of performance against the performance condition. Compensation for the Market PSUs is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Expense is recorded over the vesting period under the graded-vesting attribution method.
During the six months ended July 31, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors certified the results of the Company’s operating plan for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Based on the results, the PSUs granted in April 2025 (“2025 PSU Awards”) were cancelled, as the target attainment was not met.
A summary of the Company’s PSU activity and related information is as follows:

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the number of PSUs considered probable of vesting based on the attainment of the performance targets.
As of July 31, 2026, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to PSUs was $3.8 million. This unrecognized stock-based compensation cost is expected to be recognized using the accelerated attribution method over a weighted average period of approximately 0.7 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s ESPP generally provides for 24 -month offering periods beginning June 15 and December 15 of each year, with each offering period consisting of four six-month purchase periods. On each purchase date, eligible employees will purchase the shares at a price per share equal to 85 % of the lesser of: (i) the fair market value of the Company’s stock as of the beginning of the offering period; or (ii) the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the purchase date, as defined in the ESPP.
During the three months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP. During the six months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP.
During the three months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company withheld $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in contributions from employees. During the six months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company withheld $2.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively, in contributions from employees.

Note 14. Income Taxes
The Company's provision for (benefit from) income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period.
The Company's quarterly tax provision (benefit), and estimate of its annual effective tax rate, is subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in pre-tax income (or loss), the mix of jurisdictions to which such income (or loss) relates, changes in how the Company does business, and tax law developments. The Company's estimated effective tax rate for the year differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible stock-based compensation expense, state income taxes, and the income tax benefit from research and development credits.
23
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $4.4 million and $10.2 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, and a benefit from income taxes of $1.9 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively. The increase in income tax provision during the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 was primarily due to an increase pre-tax income, as well as tax deficiencies on stock-based compensation arising during the period.
The Company regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence in the various jurisdictions in which it operates related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. During the year ended January 31, 2026, the Company achieved cumulative U.S. income, measured as pre-tax income adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. Based on all available positive and negative evidence, including the amount of the Company’s taxable income in recent years which is objective and verifiable, and taking into account anticipated future taxable earnings, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that its U.S. federal and certain state deferred tax assets will be realizable which resulted in a release in its U.S. valuation allowance, with the exception of certain state deferred tax assets that will not be realized in the future. Furthermore, based on available evidence, the Company believes it is more likely than not that certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable in the future. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

Note 16. Subsequent Events
In August 2026, the Company announced a global scaling initiative designed to improve operational efficiency and better align resources with the Company's strategic priorities (the "Restructuring Plan"). As part of the Restructuring Plan, the Company is reallocating certain roles and realigning teams to improve operational resiliency and agility. The immediate impact of the Restructuring Plan is a reduction in the Company’s current headcount of approximately 15 %. As a result, the Company estimates it will incur non-recurring restructuring charges in a range of $5.5 million to $7.5 million, primarily consisting of severance payments, notice pay (where applicable), employee benefits, and related costs. The Company expects to record these restructuring costs within the cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative line items of its consolidated statements of operations. The majority of these charges are expected to be incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2027, and the implementation of the headcount reductions, including related cash payments, is expected to be substantially complete by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027. No balances related to these costs were accrued as of July 31, 2026.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of PagerDuty, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries in which PagerDuty, Inc. holds a controlling interest (“PagerDuty,” “we,” “us” or “our”) should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026. You should review the sections titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on our business and general economic conditions as identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The last day of our fiscal year is January 31. Our fiscal quarters end on April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Except as otherwise noted, all references to fiscal 2027 refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.
Overview and Business Model
PagerDuty, Inc. transforms critical work for modern business by building operational resilience, reducing risk, improving customer experience, and driving operational efficiency across digital operations. As a global leader in digital operations management since 2009, PagerDuty helps enterprises manage the complex web of infrastructure, applications, and systems that power today's digital experiences. The PagerDuty Operations Cloud sits at the center of the enterprise technology stack as a system of intelligence and action, ingesting signals from over 750 integrations—including monitoring, observability, security, customer service, and development tools—to orchestrate the right response across people, machines, and software.
Built for the modern era of artificial intelligence (“AI”), PagerDuty empowers customers to maximize the value of their AI investments through agentic workflows, AI-powered automation, and intelligent orchestration that accelerates incident detection and resolution while enabling teams to focus on innovation rather than firefighting.
In today's environment, every business is fundamentally a digital business. Whether in retail, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, or supply chain logistics, modern commerce depends on increasingly complex networks of digital infrastructure, cloud services, applications, and distributed teams that operate in an always-on world. This complexity continues to accelerate as organizations adopt AI-driven systems and integrate AI across their operations.
Customer expectations have never been higher. Incidents are measured not just in lost revenue but in damaged brand reputation and customer trust. Organizations face mounting pressure to deliver always-on digital experiences, resolve issues proactively before customers are impacted, and innovate rapidly without proportionally increasing operational costs or headcount. The ability to anticipate, orchestrate, and resolve time-sensitive, critical, and unplanned work before it escalates has become a strategic imperative and competitive differentiator.
Since our founding in 2009, PagerDuty has evolved from a single product focused on on-call management for developers into a comprehensive, multi-product operations cloud that spans the entire enterprise. Today, our platform breaks down organizational silos across development, IT operations, security, customer service, and business operations, reaching technical practitioners and executive stakeholders alike.
Over more than a decade, we have built one of the industry's most comprehensive integration ecosystems, with over 750 direct integrations spanning monitoring tools, cloud platforms, collaboration systems, ITSM solutions, and business applications. We also support the Model Context Protocol (“MCP”), enabling seamless integration with AI agents and large language model-powered tools to extend our platform's capabilities into emerging AI workflows. This deep integration fabric allows our customers to gather and correlate digital signals from across their entire technology stack – both modern cloud-native and legacy systems – without the friction of context switching or manual data aggregation.
These same integrations enable powerful workflow automation, connecting technical operations with popular collaboration tools and business applications to drive coordinated responses and accelerate resolution. Our open platform approach and extensive partner ecosystem have become a strategic moat, making PagerDuty increasingly embedded and essential within our customers' operations.
25
We generate revenue primarily from cloud-hosted software subscriptions, with additional revenue from term-license arrangements. Our land-and-expand business model drives viral adoption and natural expansion as teams experience value and extend PagerDuty to new users, use cases, and products. During the current fiscal year, we took initial steps to provide customers with more flexible pricing options, including usage-based pricing models that enable customers to seamlessly scale between human responders, agents, and automated solutions, better aligning customer investments to business outcomes rather than headcount and licenses, and supporting our transition from traditional single-year seat-based licensing to multiyear platform usage agreements.
While the PagerDuty platform serves organizations of all sizes, we have strategically focused our go-to-market investments, including our enterprise field sales organization, on serving enterprise customers where we see the greatest opportunity for platform adoption and expansion. Today, nearly half of the Fortune 500 and approximately two-thirds of the Fortune 100 rely on PagerDuty as mission-critical infrastructure. Our enterprise customers represent the majority of our revenue and demonstrate strong retention and expansion characteristics.
Macroeconomic Environment
Our business and financial performance has and may continue to be subject to the effects of worldwide macroeconomic conditions, including, but not limited to, global inflation and heightened interest rates, tariffs and trade wars, existing and new laws and regulations, and economic uncertainty and volatility globally and in the jurisdictions in which we do business.
We will continue to monitor the direct and indirect impacts of these or similar circumstances on our business and financial results. For additional information on the potential impact of macroeconomic conditions on our business, see Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.
Key Business Metrics
We review the following key business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.
While these metrics are based on what we believe to be a reasonable representation of our customer base for the applicable period of measurement, we rely on a third party to validate legal entities using the best available data at period end, and therefore, these metrics are subject to change as new information becomes available. In addition, we are continually seeking to improve our methodology, which may result in future changes to our key metrics.
Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”)
We believe ARR is a key metric to measure our business performance because it is an indication of our ability to maintain and expand our relationships with existing customers and generate new business. We define ARR as the annualized recurring revenue of all active contracts at the end of a reporting period.
ARR was as follows as of the dates indicated (in millions):
| As of July 31, | |||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||
ARR | $ | 501.4 | $ | 498.9 | |||||||
26
Number of Customers
We believe that the number of customers using our platform, particularly those that have subscription agreements for more than $100.0 thousand in ARR, are indicators of our market penetration, particularly within enterprise accounts, the growth of our business, and our potential future business opportunities. We define a customer as a separate legal entity, such as a company or an educational or government institution, that has an active subscription with us or one of our partners to access our platform. In situations where an organization has multiple subsidiaries or divisions, we treat the parent entity as the customer instead of treating each subsidiary or division as a separate customer. Increasing awareness of our platform and its broad range of capabilities, coupled with the fact that the world is always on and powered by increasingly complex technology, has expanded the diversity of our customer base to include organizations of all sizes across virtually all industries. Over time, enterprise customers have constituted a greater share of our revenue. The total number of paid customers and the number of customers with greater than $100.0 thousand in ARR were as follows as of the dates indicated:
| As of July 31, | |||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||
| Customers | 15,506 | 15,322 | |||||||||
Customers with greater than $100.0 thousand in ARR | 884 | 868 | |||||||||
Dollar-based Net Retention Rate
We use dollar-based net retention rate to evaluate the long-term value of our customer relationships, since this metric reflects our ability to retain and expand the ARR from our existing paid customers. Our dollar-based net retention rate compares our ARR from the same set of customers across comparable periods.
We calculate dollar-based net retention rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all paid customers as of 12 months prior to such period end (“Prior Period ARR”). We then calculate the ARR from these same customers as of the current period end (“Current Period ARR”). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of downgrades or churn over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the dollar-based net retention rate. The dollar-based net retention rate was as follows as of the dates indicated:
| Last 12 months ended July 31, | |||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||
Dollar-based net retention rate | 98 | % | 102 | % | |||||||

Revenue
We generate revenue primarily from cloud-hosted software subscription fees, which include platform subscriptions and credit packs for flexible platform capacity. We also generate revenue from term-license software subscription fees. Our subscriptions are typically one year in duration but can range from monthly to multi-year. Subscription fees are driven primarily by the number of customers, the number of users per customer, and the level of subscription purchased, and committed platform capacity. We generally invoice customers in advance in annual installments for subscriptions to our software. Revenue related to our cloud-hosted software subscriptions is recognized ratably over the related contractual term beginning on the date that our platform is made available to a customer. For our term-license software subscriptions, we recognize license revenue upon delivery, and software maintenance revenue ratably, typically beginning on the start of the contractual term of the arrangement.
Due to the low complexity of implementation and integration of our platform with our customers’ existing infrastructure, revenue from professional services has not been material to date.
The following sets forth our revenue for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

| Revenue | $ | 124,436 | $ | 123,411 | $ | 1,025 | 0.8 | % | |||||||||||||||
Revenue increased primarily due to growth from new and existing customers. The growth from existing customers was primarily driven by upsell of additional products and services.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin
Cost of revenue primarily consists of expenses related to providing our platform to customers, including personnel expenses for operations and global support, payments to our third-party cloud infrastructure providers for hosting our software, payment processing fees, amortization of capitalized software costs, amortization of acquired developed technology and intangible assets, and allocated overhead costs for facilities, information technology, and other allocated overhead costs. We will continue to invest additional resources in our platform infrastructure and our customer support and success organizations to expand the capability of our platform and ensure that our customers are realizing the full benefit of our offerings. The level and timing of investment in these areas could affect our cost of revenue in the future.
Gross profit represents revenue less cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period as our revenue fluctuates, and as a result of the timing and amount of investments to expand the capacity of our third-party cloud infrastructure providers and our continued efforts to enhance our platform support and customer success teams.

| Gross margin | 83.9 | % | 84.6 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
Cost of revenue increased primarily due to: (i) an increase of $0.7 million in costs to support the business and related infrastructure, which include allocated overhead costs; (ii) an increase of $0.5 million in personnel costs, primarily related to increases in commissions and bonuses; and (iii) an increase of $0.3 million in hosting, software, and telecom costs; offset by (iv) a decrease of $0.3 million in amortization of acquired intangible assets; and (v) a decrease of $0.1 million in merchant fees.
29
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Personnel expenses are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation expense, and sales commissions. Operating expenses also include amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, allocated overhead costs for facilities, shared IT related expenses, including depreciation expense, and certain company-wide events and functions.

| Total operating expenses | $ | 94,160 | $ | 100,844 | $ | (6,684) | (6.6) | % | |||||||||||||||
Research and development: Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our engineering, product, and design teams. Additionally, research and development expenses include outside services, depreciation of equipment used in research and development activities, acquisition-related expenses, impairment of capitalized software costs, and allocated overhead costs. We expect that our recurring research and development expenses will increase in dollar value as our business grows.
Research and development expenses remained flat primarily due to: (i) an increase of $1.7 million in costs to support the business and related infrastructure, which include allocated overhead costs; and (ii) an increase of $0.5 million in outside services spend; offset by (iii) a decrease of $2.0 million in personnel costs primarily as a result of a decrease in stock-based compensation; and (v) a decrease of $0.1 million in training and travel-related costs.
Sales and marketing: Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, costs of outside services, costs of general marketing and promotional activities, training and travel-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, allocated overhead costs, and credit loss expense. Sales commissions earned by our sales force that are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a subscription with a customer are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which we have determined to be four years. We expect that our recurring sales and marketing expenses will generally increase in dollar value and continue to be our largest operating expense for the foreseeable future as we expand our sales and marketing efforts.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased primarily due to: (i) a decrease of $5.9 million in personnel costs, driven largely by a decrease in headcount and a decrease in stock-based compensation; (ii) a decrease of $0.7 million in costs to support the business and related infrastructure, which include allocated overhead costs; offset by (iii) an increase of $0.4 million in training and travel-related costs; and (iv) an increase of $0.2 million in outside services spend for consulting services.
General and administrative: General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, training and travel-related costs, and outside services fees for finance, legal, human resources, information technology, and other administrative functions. In addition, general and administrative expenses include non-personnel costs, such as legal, accounting, and other professional fees, hardware and software costs, certain tax, license and insurance-related expenses, acquisition-related expenses, and allocated overhead costs. We expect that our recurring general and administrative expenses will increase in dollar value as our business grows. However, we expect that our general and administrative expenses will decrease as a percentage of our revenue over the longer term, as we expect our investments to allow for improved efficiency for future growth in the business.
General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to: (i) a decrease of $2.6 million in personnel costs, driven largely by a decrease in headcount and a decrease in stock-based compensation; offset by (ii) an increase of $1.8 million in outside services spend for consulting services and (iii) an increase of $0.3 million in costs to support the business and related infrastructure, which include allocated overhead costs.

| Provision for (benefit from) income taxes | $ | 4,357 | $ | (1,865) | $ | 6,222 | (333.6) | % | |||||||||||||||
Interest income: Interest income consists of accretion income and amortization expense on our available-for-sale investments, income earned on our cash and cash equivalents, and interest earned on our short-term investments which consist of U.S. Treasury securities, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, and U.S. Government agency securities.
Interest income decreased primarily due to a lower cash and cash equivalents balance and lower interest rates year-over-year.
Interest expense: Interest expense consists primarily of contractual interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs on our 1.25% Convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) that were repaid during the three months ended July 31, 2025 and the contractual interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs on our 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) that were issued in October 2023.
Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in interest expense related to our convertible notes, driven by the repayment of the 2025 Notes during three months ended July 31, 2025.
Other (expense) income, net: Other (expense) income, net primarily consists of foreign currency transaction gains and losses.
The change in other (expense) income, net was due to fluctuations in foreign currency during the period.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes: Provision for (benefit from) income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in certain foreign and U.S. jurisdictions in which we conduct business.
The change in provision for (benefit from) income taxes is primarily attributable to an increase in pre-tax income, as well as tax deficiencies from stock-based compensation.
We regularly assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, we consider both positive and negative evidence in the various jurisdictions in which we operate related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. During the year ended January 31, 2026, we achieved cumulative U.S. income, measured as pre-tax income adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. Based on all available positive and negative evidence, including the amount of our taxable income in recent years which is objective and verifiable, and taking into account anticipated future taxable earnings, we concluded that it was more likely than not that our U.S. federal and certain state deferred tax assets will be realizable, which resulted in a release of our U.S. valuation allowance, with the exception of certain state deferred tax assets that will not be realized in the future. Furthermore, based on available evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable in the future. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets. We will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

| Provision for (benefit from) income taxes | $ | 10,158 | $ | (1,052) | $ | 11,210 | (1,065.6) | % | |||||||||||||||
Interest income decreased primarily due to a lower cash and cash equivalents balance and lower interest rates year-over-year.
Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in interest expense related to our convertible notes, driven by the repayment of the 2025 Notes during six months ended July 31, 2025.
The change in other (expense) income, net was due to fluctuations in foreign currency during the period.
The change in provision for (benefit from) income taxes is primarily attributable to an increase in pre-tax income, as well as tax deficiencies from stock-based compensation.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”), we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the below referenced non-GAAP financial information, collectively, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their U.S. GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by our management about which expenses are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Specifically, we exclude the following from historical and prospective non-GAAP financial measures, as applicable:
Stock-based compensation: PagerDuty utilizes stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees. It is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of its stockholders and at long-term retention, rather than to address operational performance for any particular period. As a result, stock-based compensation expenses vary for reasons that are generally unrelated to financial and operational performance in any particular period.
Employer taxes related to employee stock transactions: PagerDuty views the amount of employer taxes related to its employee stock transactions as an expense that is dependent on its stock price, employee exercise and other award disposition activity, and other factors that are beyond PagerDuty’s control. As a result, employer taxes related to employee stock transactions vary for reasons that are generally unrelated to financial and operational performance in any particular period.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets: PagerDuty views amortization of acquired intangible assets as items arising from pre-acquisition activities determined at the time of an acquisition. While these intangible assets are evaluated for impairment regularly, amortization of the cost of purchased intangibles is an expense that is not typically affected by operations during any particular period.
34
Acquisition-related expenses: PagerDuty views acquisition-related expenses, such as transaction costs, acquisition-related retention payments, and acquisition-related asset impairment, as events that are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. In particular, PagerDuty believes the consideration of measures that exclude such expenses can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods which may or may not include such expenses.
Amortization of debt issuance costs: The imputed interest rates of the Company's convertible senior notes (the "2025 Notes" and the "2028 Notes" or, collectively, the "Notes") was approximately 1.91% for the 2025 Notes and 2.13% for the 2028 Notes. This is a result of the debt issuance costs, which reduce the carrying value of the convertible debt instruments. The debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense. The expense for the amortization of the debt issuance costs is a non-cash item, and we believe the exclusion of this interest expense will provide for a more useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods.
Restructuring costs: PagerDuty views restructuring costs, such as employee severance-related costs, as events that are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. In particular, PagerDuty believes the consideration of measures that exclude such expenses can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods which may or may not include such expenses.
Shareholder matters: PagerDuty views certain charges, including third-party legal, consulting, and advisory fees, related to shareholder activity that are outside of the ordinary course of our business and expenses related to a cooperation agreement as events that are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. PagerDuty believes that such charges do not have a direct correlation to the operations of the Company’s business and may vary in size depending on the timing, results, and resolution of such shareholder matters. The consideration of measures that exclude such expenses can assist in the comparison of operational performance in periods which may or may not include such expenses.
Executive transition costs: We exclude amounts paid to the Company's former executives upon departure under the terms of their transition agreements, including continued base salary payments made during their transition periods, acceleration of stock-based compensation, continued vesting of restricted stock units and performance stock units, and legal and consulting fees associated with the transition. Also excluded from our non-GAAP measures are recruiting costs related to the search for new executives. These costs represent expenses that are not indicative of our ongoing operating expenses. We further believe that excluding the executive transition costs from our non-GAAP results is useful to investors in that it allows for period-over-period comparability.
Adjustment attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest: PagerDuty adjusts the value of redeemable non-controlling interest of its joint venture PagerDuty K.K. according to the operating agreement. PagerDuty believes this adjustment is not reflective of operational performance during a period and exclusion of such adjustments can assist in comparison of operational performance in different periods.
Income tax effects and adjustments: Based on PagerDuty’s financial outlook for fiscal 2027, PagerDuty is utilizing a projected non-GAAP tax rate of 20%. For fiscal 2026, PagerDuty used a projected non-GAAP tax rate of 22%. PagerDuty uses a projected non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide better consistency across the interim reporting periods by eliminating the impact of non-recurring and period specific items, which can vary in size and frequency. PagerDuty's estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income is determined annually and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events or trends that PagerDuty believes materially impact the estimated annual rate including, but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, material changes in the geographic mix of revenue and expenses and other significant events.
Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin
We define non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding the following expenses typically included in cost of revenue: stock-based compensation expense, employer taxes related to employee stock transactions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs. We define non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of revenue.

Free cash flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of software costs. In addition to the reasons stated above, we believe that free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash in excess of our capital investments in property and equipment in order to enhance the strength of our balance sheet and further invest in our business and potential strategic initiatives. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of our liquidity is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for the period. We use free cash flow in conjunction with traditional U.S. GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our liquidity, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies. There are a number of limitations related to the use of free cash flow as compared to net cash provided by operating activities, including that free cash flow includes capital expenditures, the benefits of which are realized in periods subsequent to those when expenditures are made.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Liquidity
As of July 31, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents and investments totaling $470.0 million. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, investments, and net cash generated from our operating activities will be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Since inception, we have financed operations primarily through sales of our cloud-hosted software subscriptions, net proceeds received from sales of equity securities, and the issuance of our 2028 Notes. We believe we will meet long-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and available cash and short-term investment balances.
Debt and Financing Arrangements
Refer to Note 9. Debt and Financing Arrangements, in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for discussion of our debt arrangements, including the timing of expected maturity of such arrangements. The $57.5 million principal of our 2025 Notes was repaid by us in cash at maturity during the year ended January 31, 2026.
Deferred Revenue
A significant majority of our customers pay in advance for our cloud-hosted and term-license software subscriptions. Therefore, a substantial source of our cash is from our deferred revenue, which is included in the liabilities section of our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Deferred revenue consists of the unearned portion of customer billings, which is recognized as revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. As of July 31, 2026, we had deferred revenue of $236.0 million, of which $233.5 million was recorded as a current liability and expected to be recorded as revenue in the next 12 months, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
Share Repurchase Programs
In March 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2025 Share Repurchase Program”) for the repurchase of shares of our common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $150.0 million. In August 2025, our Board of Directors approved an additional $50.0 million under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, thus allowing for the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $200.0 million. No other changes were made to the program. The 2025 Share Repurchase Program did not obligate us to acquire a specified number of shares, and could be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time, without prior notice. During the six months ended July 31, 2026, we repurchased 8,532,838 shares of common stock through open market purchases at an average per share price of $7.40, completing the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, and retired 8,896,106 shares, which includes 363,268 which remained on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2026. Under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, we repurchased a total of 18,606,569 shares of common stock through open market purchases at an average per share price of $10.75 for a total repurchase price of $200.0 million. As of July 31, 2026, all repurchased shares have been retired.
38
In May 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2026 Share Repurchase Program”) for the repurchase of shares of our common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million. The 2026 Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire a specified number of shares, and can be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time, without prior notice. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, we repurchased 799,112 shares of common stock through open market purchases at an average per share price of $9.51. The cost of these shares is recorded as treasury stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of July 31, 2026, $92.4 million of the total amount authorized to be repurchased remained available.
Future Contractual Obligations
Our estimated future obligations as of July 31, 2026 include both current and long-term obligations. Our debt obligations total $396.9 million, all of which is long-term. Additionally, we had $1.0 million of irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding which were fully collateralized by our restricted cash, all of which represents a long-term cash obligation. Under our operating leases, we had a current obligation of $6.0 million and a long-term obligation of $9.9 million. Operating lease obligations primarily represent the initial contracted term for leases that have commenced as of July 31, 2026, not including any future optional renewal periods.
Effect of Exchange Rates
Our changes in cash can be impacted by the effect of fluctuating exchange rates. Foreign exchange had a negative effect on cash in the six months ended July 31, 2026, decreasing our total cash balance by $0.1 million as of July 31, 2026 and a positive effect on cash in the six months ended July 31, 2025, increasing our total cash balance by $0.1 million as of July 31, 2025.

| Net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | (3,751) | $ | (7,143) | $ | 3,392 | |||||||||||
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities improved, primarily due to improvements in our operating income performance due to the 0.9% increase in revenue, along with a 11.7% decrease in operating expenses. Cash provided by operating activities is subject to variability period-over-period as a result of timing differences, including with respect to the collection of receivables and payments of accounts payable, and other items.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased, primarily due to an increase in purchases of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased, primarily due to an increase in repurchases of common stock, a decrease in cash used to repay our convertible senior notes, and a decrease in employee payroll taxes related to the net share settlement of restricted stock units.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose 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 that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation and supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were, in design and operation, effective at a reasonable assurance level.
40
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended July 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. We are not presently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows, or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business involves significant risks, some of which are described below. You should carefully consider the following risks, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the following risks could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects, and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. Our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects could also be harmed by risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material.
Other than the risk factors below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in Part I. Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended January 31, 2026, as updated by the “Risk Factors” described under Part I. Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2026.
Our previous and any future restructuring efforts may not result in the anticipated savings or operational efficiencies expected, could result in greater total costs and expenses than we estimated, and could disrupt our business.
We have undertaken, and may undertake from time to time in the future, certain restructuring efforts to drive more efficient growth and advance our scaling initiatives. For example, in August 2026, we announced that as part of our ongoing actions to improve operational efficiency and better align resources with the Company’s strategic priorities, we would be reallocating certain roles and realigning teams to continue to improve operational resiliency and agility. The immediate impact was a reduction in the Company’s headcount of approximately 15%. We may incur additional expenses not currently contemplated due to events associated with the restructuring, for example, the restructuring may have a future impact on other areas of our liabilities and obligations, which could result in losses in future periods. We may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits and savings from such restructuring efforts due to unforeseen difficulties, delays or unexpected costs.
Furthermore, restructuring efforts may be disruptive to our operations. For example, headcount reductions could yield unanticipated consequences, such as attrition beyond planned staff reductions, increased difficulties in our day-to-day operations, and reduced employee morale. If employees who were not affected by a reduction in headcount seek alternative employment, this could result in unplanned additional expense to ensure adequate resourcing or harm our productivity. Headcount reductions could also harm our ability to attract and retain qualified management, sales, marketing, engineering, and other personnel who are critical to our business. If we are unable to realize the expected operational efficiencies and cost savings from a restructuring, our operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.
If we lose key members of our management team or are unable to attract and retain executives and employees we need to support our operations and growth, our business may be harmed.
Our success and future growth depend upon the continued services of our management team and other key employees. From time to time, there may be changes in our management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives and key employees, which could disrupt our business. Our senior management and key employees are employed on an at-will basis. We currently do not have “key person” insurance on any of our employees. Certain of our key employees have been with us for a long period of time and have fully vested stock options or other long-term equity incentives that may become valuable and may be sold in the public markets, generating significant proceeds, which may reduce their motivation to continue to work for us. The loss of one or more of our senior management, or other key employees could harm our business, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements. In May 2026, we announced the succession of our Chief Executive Officer, Jennifer Tejada, and the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer, John DiLullo.
42
Additionally, in November 2025, we announced the planned retirement of Howard Wilson, our Chief Financial Officer, and in June 2026, we announced the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer, Eric Prengel. Such significant changes among our senior executives may create uncertainty or present challenges related to continuity of our business, preservation of our culture, and our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees, and we cannot ensure that we would be able to timely replace members of our senior management or other key employees should any of them depart.
