Financial Outlook

We are providing estimates for the third quarter and for the full year 2026. We emphasize that these estimates are subject to various important cautionary factors referenced in the section entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

For the third quarter and full year 2026, we currently expect the following results:

 
($ in millions, except per share data)   Third Quarter 2026  Full Year 2026

(2) Non-GAAP net income per share was estimated assuming 265.8 million and 272.8 million weighted-average shares outstanding for the third quarter and full year 2026, respectively.

These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" safe harbor section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

We have not reconciled our third quarter and full year 2026 estimates for non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP due to the uncertainty and potential variability of expenses that may be incurred in the future. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort and we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. We have provided a reconciliation of other GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for our second quarter 2026 and 2025 non-GAAP results included in this press release.

Webcast and Conference Call Information

We will host a conference call for investors on August 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time / 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the Company's financial results and business highlights. Investors are invited to listen to a live audio webcast of the conference call by visiting the investor relations website at ir.freshworks.com. A replay of the audio webcast will be available shortly after the call on the Freshworks Investor Relations website and will be available for twelve months thereafter.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain non-GAAP financial measures, including revenue adjusted for constant currency, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP net income, adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow margin. This press release and the accompanying tables also contain certain other metrics, including annual recurring revenue, net dollar retention rates, revenue growth rates, and related presentation thereof adjusted for constant currency.

We adjust revenue and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing business performance excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period results for currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period (for Q2 2025, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 EUR to 1.05 USD and 1 GBP to 1.26 USD), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q2 2026, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 EUR to 1.16 USD and 1 GBP to 1.34 USD).

We use these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Investors, however, are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.

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 our business. 
 
   -- Amortization of acquired intangibles. We exclude amortization of acquired 
      intangibles, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP 
      financial measures. Our expenses for amortization of acquired intangibles 
      are inconsistent in amount and frequency because they are significantly 
      affected by the timing, size of acquisitions, and the allocation of 
      purchase price. We exclude these amortization expenses because we do not 
      believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operation of our 
      business. 
 
   -- Restructuring charges. We exclude restructuring charges, which primarily 
      consists of employee severance and other employee termination benefits 
      associated with the restructuring program initiated in November 2024 and 
      May 2026, 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 January 1, 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 across interim reporting 
      periods. Our non-GAAP tax rate reflects our estimated long-term effective 
      tax rate based on our anticipated geographic earnings mix and statutory 
      tax regimes. For fiscal year 2026, we determined the projected non-GAAP 
      tax rate to be 24%. The difference between our GAAP income tax provision 
      and our non-GAAP income tax provision is presented as non-GAAP income tax 
      reconciling adjustments. Prior to 2026, we excluded the income tax effect 
      of the above adjustments, income tax effect associated with acquisitions 
      and tax charges or benefits that are a result of a change in valuation 
      allowance on deferred tax assets and its related impacts, from our 
      non-GAAP financial measures. We excluded these costs because we do not 
      believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating 
      performance of our business. 

We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software, plus acquisition costs and restructuring charges. We believe that adjusted free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity as it measures our ability to generate cash from our core operations after purchases of property and equipment. Adjusted free cash flow is a measure to determine, among other things, cash available for strategic initiatives, including further investments in our business and potential acquisitions of businesses. We define adjusted free cash flow margin as adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We believe that adjusted free cash flow margin is a useful indicator of how efficiently we convert revenue into adjusted free cash flow.

Operating Metrics

Number of Customers Contributing More Than $5,000, $50,000 and $100,000 in ARR. 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. We define our total customers contributing more than $5,000, $50,000 and $100,000 in 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 ARR above the applicable threshold.

Net Dollar Retention Rate. To calculate net dollar retention rate as of a given 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 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 also adjust the above operating metrics, growth rates of customers contributing more than $5,000, $50,000 and $100,000 in ARR and related presentation thereof for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing our business performance excluding the effects of foreign currency rates fluctuations. To present this information, the Ending ARR of the current period in currencies other than USD is converted into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period (for Q2 2025, the period end exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 EUR to 1.17 USD and 1 GBP to 1.37 USD), rather than the actual exchange rates in effect at the end of the current period (for Q2 2026, the period end exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 EUR to 1.14 USD and 1 GBP to 1.32 USD).

(1) Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is determined by giving effect to all potential common equivalents during the reporting period, unless including them yields an antidilutive result. The company considers its stock options and RSUs as potential common stock equivalents but excluded them from the computation of GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, as their effect was antidilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, potentially dilutive shares of 1.0 million and 2.8 million shares, respectively, were included in the weighted average shares used in computing non-GAAP diluted net income per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, potentially dilutive shares of 1.0 million and 4.1 million shares, respectively, were included in the weighted average shares used in computing non-GAAP diluted net income per share.
