The press release is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by PagerDuty, Inc., whether made before or after today’s date, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific references in such filing.
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On August 26, 2026, the Company announced that it is advancing global scaling initiatives as part of its ongoing actions to improve operational efficiency and better align resources with the Company’s strategic priorities. The changes include reallocating certain roles and realigning teams to continue to improve operational resiliency and agility. The immediate impact is a reduction in the Company's current headcount of approximately 15%.
The Company estimates that it will incur non-recurring charges in a range of $5.5 million to $7.5 million in connection with the headcount reductions, primarily consisting of severance payments, notice pay (where applicable), employee benefits payments and related costs. The Company expects that the majority of the restructuring charges will be incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2027 and that the implementation of the headcount reductions, including cash payments, will be substantially complete by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027.
Potential position eliminations are subject to legal requirements that vary by jurisdiction, which may extend this process beyond the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027 in certain cases. The charges that the Company expects to incur are subject to a number of assumptions, including legal requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual expenses may differ materially from the estimates disclosed above.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements related to the expected benefits of and timing of completion of the restructuring plan and ability to improve operational efficiency, and the expected costs and charges associated therewith. Words such as “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “designed,” “considering,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the risk that there are impediments to our ability to execute the restructuring or related initiatives as currently contemplated; the risk that the restructuring costs and charges may be greater than anticipated; the risk of changes to the assumptions on which the estimated charges associated with the restructuring or related initiatives are based; the risk that the Company’s restructuring efforts may adversely affect its ability to recruit and retain skilled and motivated personnel, and may be distracting to employees and management; the risk that the restructuring efforts may negatively impact the Company’s business operations and reputation with or ability to serve customers; the risk that the restructuring efforts may not generate their intended benefits, including operational efficiency and strategic alignment of resources to the extent or as quickly as anticipated; and other risks and uncertainties included in the reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and in other filings we may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these risks and uncertainties. Investors and others are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this report represent our views as of the date of this report. We undertake no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this filing.

•Total revenue of $123.0 million - $125.0 million.
•Non-GAAP operating margin of 26.5% to 27.5%.

These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
PagerDuty has not provided the GAAP equivalent or reconciled its expectations as to non-GAAP net income per share attributable to PagerDuty, Inc. common stockholders or our outlook for non-GAAP operating margin to GAAP net income per share attributable to PagerDuty, Inc. common stockholders or GAAP operating margin, respectively, because certain reconciling items such as stock-based compensation expense, employer taxes related to employee stock transactions, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring costs, gains or losses on extinguishment of convertible senior notes, adjustment attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest, and income tax effects and adjustments are out of PagerDuty’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that these reconciling items could have a significant effect on PagerDuty’s future GAAP results.

This press release and the accompanying tables contain the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income attributable to PagerDuty, Inc. common stockholders, non-GAAP net income per share attributable to PagerDuty, Inc. common stockholders, free cash flow, and free cash flow margin.
PagerDuty believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and can assist in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their 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 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 and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in PagerDuty’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by PagerDuty’s management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation is provided below for each historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP.
Specifically, PagerDuty excludes the following from its 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.
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.
Non-GAAP operating expenses
We define non-GAAP operating expenses as operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer taxes related to employee stock transactions, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, shareholder matters, and executive transition costs, which are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a given period.
Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin
We define non-GAAP operating income as income (loss) from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer taxes related to employee stock transactions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring costs, shareholder matters, and executive transition costs, which are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a given period. We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of revenue.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to PagerDuty, Inc. common stockholders
We define non-GAAP net income attributable to PagerDuty, Inc. common stockholders as net income attributable to PagerDuty, Inc. common stockholders excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer taxes related to employee stock transactions, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring costs, shareholder matters, executive transition costs, adjustment attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest, and income tax effects and adjustments, which are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a given period.
Non-GAAP net income per share, basic and diluted
We define non-GAAP net income per share, basic as non-GAAP net income attributable to PagerDuty, Inc. common stockholders divided by weighted average shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period. We define non-GAAP net income per share, diluted as non-GAAP net income attributable to PagerDuty, Inc. common stockholders divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period.
Free cash flow and free cash flow margin
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. We define free cash flow margin as free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. 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.
PagerDuty encourages investors to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate PagerDuty’s business.
Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this release for the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most-comparable GAAP financial measures.
