Overview

We provide people-first AI service software that organizations use to deliver exceptional employee and customer experiences. Our employee experience (EX) products include Freshservice, Freshservice for Business Teams, Device42 and FireHydrant. Our customer experience (CX) products include our Freshdesk suite of products. Our AI offerings, which include Freddy AI Agent, Freddy AI Copilot and Freddy AI Insights, further enhance the employee and customer and employee experience and are designed to boost productivity.

In January 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of FireHydrant, Inc. (FireHydrant), a provider of AI-powered incident management software. The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination and our consolidated financial statements and key business metrics include FireHydrant since the acquisition date.

We generate revenue primarily from the sale of subscriptions for accessing our cloud-based software products over the contract term. 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. We also sell software licenses with associated maintenance for Device42 and professional services that include product configuration, data migration, systems integration, and training.

Our customer base and operations have scaled over time. Our total revenue was $237.4 million and $204.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 16%; and $466.0 million and $401.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 16%. Our income (loss) from operations was $6.1 million and $(8.7) million for three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively; and $(2.0) million and $(19.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Macroeconomic and Other Factors

Current macroeconomic uncertainties, including inflationary pressures, significant volatility in global markets, and geopolitical developments 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 and we expect these pressures to persist for the foreseeable future. Additionally, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted our revenue growth historically and volatility in the foreign currency market still exists. For the quarters ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, we had approximately 29%, 29% and 27%, respectively, of revenue exposure related to the euro and British pound. If adverse 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 business model is primarily subscription-based, 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, future results of operations, and financial condition. See the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on

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 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.

[["","","As of June 30,"],["","","2026","","2025","","% Growth"],["Number of customers contributing more than $5,000 in ARR","","25,356","","23,975","","6","%"],["ARR from customers contributing more than $5,000 in ARR as a percentage of total ARR","","92","%","","91","%"],["Net dollar retention rate","","104","%","","106","%"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

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, renewals, and expansion as a result of acquisitions during the measurement period and is net of any contraction or attrition over this period.

We define ARR as the sum total of subscription, software license, and maintenance revenue we would contractually expect to recognize over the next 12 months from all customers at a point in time, assuming no increases, reductions, or cancellations in their subscriptions, and assuming that revenues are recognized ratably over the term of subscription and maintenance contracts and upon delivery for software licenses. 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 12% and 13% of ARR as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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.

30

Table of Contents

Our net dollar retention rate was 104% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 106% as of June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We expect our net dollar retention rate may fluctuate more in future periods due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, difficult macroeconomic conditions, volatility in foreign exchange rates, our expected growth, the level of penetration within our customer base, our ability to upsell and cross-sell products to existing customers, and our ability to retain our customers.

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 from operations, non-GAAP net income, 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:

•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 operating performance of our business.

•Restructuring charges. We exclude restructuring charges, which primarily consist of employee severance and other employee termination benefits associated with the restructuring plan, from our non-GAAP financial measures because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.

•Acquisition expenses. We exclude acquisition expenses, which primarily consist of legal fees and due diligence costs, from our non-GAAP financial measures because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.

•Income tax effect and adjustments. Starting 2026, we utilize a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate to compute our non-GAAP income tax provision in order to provide better consistency

A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 is presented below. A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2025.

Overview

We provide people-first AI service software that organizations use to deliver exceptional employee and customer experiences. Our employee experience (EX) products include Freshservice, Freshservice for Business Teams, Device42 and FireHydrant. Our customer experience (CX) products include our Freshdesk suite of products. Our AI offerings, which include Freddy AI Agent, Freddy AI Copilot and Freddy AI Insights, further enhance the employee and customer and employee experience and are designed to boost productivity.

In June 2024, we acquired all outstanding shares of D42 Parent, Inc., an IT asset management company for approximately $238.1 million, which primarily consisted of $225.3 million in cash, and approximately $12.9 million of common stock and stock options. Our consolidated financial statements and key business metrics include D42 Parent, Inc. since the acquisition date.

In January 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of FireHydrant, Inc., a provider of AI-powered incident management software. The Company will account for the transaction as a business combination. Since the closing date of the acquisition occurred subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the allocation of purchase price to the underlying net assets has not yet been completed.

We generate revenue primarily from the sale of subscriptions for accessing our cloud-based software products over the contract term. 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. We also sell professional services that include product configuration, data migration, systems integration, and training. With the acquisition of D42 Parent, Inc., we also sell software licenses with associated maintenance.

Our customer base and operations have scaled over time. Our total revenue was $838.8 million, $720.4 million and $596.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing year-over-year growth rates of 16% and 21%, respectively. We generated operating income of $13.2 million and incurred operating losses of $138.6 million and $170.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and recognized net income of $183.7 million and incurred net losses of $95.4 million and $137.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Macroeconomic and Other Factors

Current macroeconomic uncertainties, including inflationary pressures, significant volatility in global markets, and geopolitical developments 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 and we expect these pressures to persist for the foreseeable future. Additionally, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted our revenue growth historically and volatility in the foreign currency market may still exist. For each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 we had approximately 28%, 27%, and 27%, respectively, of revenue exposure related to the euro and British pound. If adverse conditions arise, they could have a material adverse impact on our results and our ability to accurately predict our future results and earnings.

Given our business model is primarily subscription-based, 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, future results of operations, and financial condition. See the section titled “Risk Factors” for further discussion of the challenges and risks we have encountered and could encounter related to these macroeconomic events.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

The growth and future success of our business depends on many factors. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain our growth and improve our results of operations. For complete definitions of our key metrics, please refer to the section titled “Key Business Metrics” below.

Acquiring New Customers

We will continue to invest in acquiring new customers across all of our products. We believe that our focus on offering products that delight our users facilitates our go-to-market strategy, which is designed to be product-led and self-service in nature, reducing the friction new customers have to overcome to adopt our products within their organization. Our approach to acquiring new customers allows us to benefit from user-driven, organic adoption of our products across organizations of all sizes, as well as enable our customers to standardize on our products across the organization. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had nearly 75,000 and over 72,200 paying customers, respectively.

We have made and continue to make significant investments in strengthening our outbound sales motion to enable adoption of department-specific and organization-wide use cases for mid-market and enterprise customers. We believe that larger businesses can benefit from implementing multiple Freshworks products, as once they are a customer they are able to expand their use of these products. We define annual recurring revenue (ARR) as the sum total of the subscription, software license, and maintenance revenue we would contractually expect to recognize over the next 12 months from all customers at a point in time, assuming no increases, reductions, or cancellations in their subscriptions, and assuming that revenues are recognized ratably over the term of subscription and maintenance contracts and upon delivery for software licenses. 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. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 24,762 and 22,558 of our customers contributed more than $5,000 in ARR, respectively, demonstrating the broad appeal of our products to customers of all sizes and geographies, and as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, customers contributing more than $5,000 in ARR represented 91% and 90% of total ARR, respectively. We believe that the number of customers that contribute more than $5,000 in ARR is an indicator of our success in expanding upmarket to larger businesses.

We also run focused programs to acquire startup and incubator customers. These programs include free credits to use our products, and webinars and events specifically tailored to highlight the benefits of our products for these types of customers. By encouraging startups and incubators to use our products early on in their company’s lifecycle, we believe we have the opportunity to convert these organizations to paying customers and grow with these customers as they grow their businesses.

Retaining and Expanding Within Existing Customers

Our business model relies on rapidly and efficiently landing new customers and expanding our relationships with them over time. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience that, over time, a significant portion of our revenue growth will come from our existing customers expanding their usage of our products and buying additional products.

We measure the rate of expansion within our customer base using net dollar retention rate (as defined under Key Business Metrics), and we believe that our net dollar retention rate demonstrates our rate of expansion within our existing customer base. Our net dollar retention rate was 108% and 103% as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. On constant currency basis, our net dollar retention rate was 104% which was an increase from prior year primarily due to an improvement in our overall churn rate.

We have a significant opportunity to expand within our existing customer base and substantially increase the number of customers that purchase multiple Freshworks products. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 31% of our customers purchased two or more Freshworks products. These customers represented 45% of total ARR as of December 31, 2025, illustrating the large opportunity we have to sell additional products to our current customer base and drive growth.

We continue to increase the number of customers that have entered into larger subscriptions with us. We had approximately 3,760 customers each contributing $50,000 or more in ARR as of December 31, 2025, representing an increase of 23% compared to 3,053 customers as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, customers contributing more than $50,000 in ARR represented approximately 54% and 50% of total ARR, respectively. We believe that the number of customers contributing $50,000 or more in ARR indicates the strategic importance of our products for our customers and our ability to both initially land significant accounts or grow customers into significant accounts over time.

single customer accounted for more than 1% of ARR and our top 10 customers represented less than 5% of ARR as of December 31, 2025, and we have no significant concentration in a specific industry vertical.

Investing in Our Growth

We believe that we are early in addressing our large market opportunity and we intend to continue to make investments to support the growth and expansion of our business. We have a track record of bringing new products to market and scaling these new products over time. As of December 31, 2025, we have two primary products with over $100 million in ARR, Freshservice and Freshdesk. We intend to invest in growing our research and development team to extend the functionality of our solutions and continue to bring new solutions to market. Our investments in our Neo platform have helped us accelerate the pa
