Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As used in this report, the terms “Workday,” “registrant,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Workday, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

Amounts in this report may not recalculate due to rounding. Year-over-year comparisons, operating margin, and net income per share are calculated using unrounded data.

Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business

Workday is a leading enterprise platform that provides organizations with solutions for financial management, human capital management (“HCM”), planning, spend management, and analytics. With Workday, our customers have an artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered cloud platform to help manage their people, money, and agents.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Workday, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of our management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of Workday’s financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2025, shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 11, 2025.

Certain prior period amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the identification of distinct performance obligations for revenue recognition, the determination of the period of benefit for deferred commissions, the realizability of deferred tax assets, the measurement of uncertain tax positions, the fair value and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations, and the valuation of non-marketable equity investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates, judgments, and assumptions, and such differences could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment Information

We operate as a single operating and reportable segment: cloud applications. Although we offer a variety of enterprise cloud solutions to a diverse global customer base, we operate in one operating segment because our business activities are managed on a consolidated basis, our service offerings all operate on the Workday platform and are deployed in a similar manner, and our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is our Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the consolidated level.

Our CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on Net income, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net income is used to evaluate the overall profitability of the business and to guide decisions on how to invest in and grow the business. Our CODM also reviews Total assets, as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and Capital expenditures, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Significant segment expenses include the costs and expenses presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other segment items include Other income, net and Provision for income taxes.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Standards

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, debt securities, derivative instruments, and trade and other receivables. Our deposits exceed federally insured limits.

No customer individually accounted for more than 10% of trade and other receivables, net as of April 30, 2025, or January 31, 2025. No customer individually accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2025, or 2024.

Other than the United States, no country individually accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2025, or 2024.

In order to reduce the risk of disruption of our cloud applications, we host our applications in data centers operated by third parties located in the United States, Europe, Canada, and the Asia-Pacific region. These data centers include third-party hosted infrastructure, including Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) and Google Cloud, and co-location data centers. We have internal procedures to restore services in the event of disruption at one of these data center facilities. Even with these procedures for disaster recovery in place, our cloud applications could be significantly interrupted during the implementation of the procedures to restore services.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning in our fiscal 2026. The updated standard allows for adoption on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the updated standard.

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, which requires the disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning in our fiscal 2028, and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The updated standard allows for adoption on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the updated standard.

Total debt securities$7,202

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have certain prepayment conditions.

We classify our debt securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluate such classification as of each balance sheet date. We consider all debt securities as funds available for use in current operations, including those with maturity dates beyond one year, and therefore classify these securities as current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Debt securities included in Marketable securities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of securities with original maturities at the time of purchase greater than three months, and the remaining securities are included in Cash and cash equivalents.

Interest receivable of $63 million and $53 million is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, respectively.

As of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, unrealized losses on our debt securities were not material. We did not recognize any credit losses related to our debt securities during the periods presented.

We sold $140 million and $17 million of debt securities during the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The realized gains and losses from the sales were immaterial.

Money market fundsCash and cash equivalents$550$988
Non-marketable equity investments measured using the measurement alternativeOther assets247244
Total equity investments$797$1,232

Non-Marketable Equity Investments Measured Using the Measurement Alternative

Non-marketable equity investments measured using the measurement alternative include investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values in which we do not own a controlling interest or exercise significant influence. These investments are recorded at cost and are adjusted for observable transactions for same or similar securities of the same issuer or impairment events. The carrying values for our non-marketable equity investments are summarized below (in millions):

April 30, 2025January 31, 2025
Total initial cost$219$217
Cumulative net unrealized gains (losses)2827
Carrying value$247$244

During the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, we recognized net unrealized losses on equity investments of $1 million and $8 million, respectively.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

We use a fair value hierarchy that requires that we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize 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:

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents information about our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and their assigned levels within the valuation hierarchy as of April 30, 2025 (in millions):

Non-Marketable Equity Investments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Non-marketable equity investments that have been remeasured due to an observable event or impairment are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because we estimate the value based on valuation methods which may include a combination of the observable transaction price at the transaction date and other unobservable inputs including volatility, rights, and obligations of the investments we hold. For further information, see Note 3, Investments.

Fair Value Measurements of Other Financial Instruments

We carry our debt at face value less unamortized debt discount and issuance costs on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and present the fair value for disclosure purposes only. The fair values of all of our debt obligations are categorized as Level 2 financial instruments. For further information on the fair values of our debt and the inputs used in the calculations, see Note 10, Debt.

Note 5. Deferred Costs

Deferred costs, which consist of deferred sales commissions, were $812 million and $828 million as of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred costs was $68 million and $59 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. There was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized for the periods presented.

Note 9. Derivative Instruments

We conduct business on a global basis in multiple foreign currencies, subjecting Workday to foreign currency exchange risk. To mitigate this risk, we utilize derivative hedging contracts as described below. We do not enter into any derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Our foreign currency contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets, such as currency spot and forward rates.

Cash Flow Hedges

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted revenue and expense transactions (“cash flow hedges”). We designate these forward contracts as cash flow hedging instruments since the accounting criteria for such designation has been met.

Cash flow hedges are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Cash flows from the settlement of these forward contracts are classified as operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are subsequently reclassified to the same line item as the hedged transaction on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of April 30, 2025, we estimate that $20 million of net gains recorded in AOCI related to our cash flow hedges will be reclassified into income within the next 12 months.

As of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, the notional values of the cash flow hedges that we held to buy U.S. dollars in exchange for other currencies were $3.1 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, and the notional values of the cash flow hedges that we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for other currencies were $413 million and $420 million, respectively. All contracts had maturities of less than 58 months.

Non-Designated Hedges

We also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our net outstanding monetary assets and liabilities (“non-designated hedges”). These forward contracts are intended to offset foreign currency gains or losses associated with the underlying monetary assets and liabilities and are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under applicable accounting guidance, and therefore all changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recorded in Other income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from the settlement of these forward contracts are classified as operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, the notional values of the non-designated hedges that we held to buy U.S. dollars in exchange for other currencies were $181 million and $242 million, respectively, and the notional values of the non-designated hedges that we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for other currencies were $187 million and $91 million, respectively.

We manage our exposure to counterparty risk by entering into foreign currency forward contracts with a diversified group of eight major financial institutions and by actively monitoring outstanding positions. We are subject to netting agreements with all of these counterparties, under which we are permitted to net settle transactions of the same currency with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. After consideration of these netting arrangements, the total net settlement amount related to our foreign currency forward contracts is an asset position of $3 million and a liability position of $79 million as of April 30, 2025, and an asset position of $86 million as of January 31, 2025.

Although legally enforceable master netting arrangements exist between Workday and each counterparty, it is our policy to present the derivatives gross on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our foreign currency forward contracts are not subject to any credit contingent features or collateral requirements.

Senior Notes

In fiscal 2023, we issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, consisting of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.500% notes due April 1, 2027 (“2027 Notes”), $750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.700% notes due April 1, 2029 (“2029 Notes”), and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.800% notes due April 1, 2032 (“2032 Notes,” and together with the 2027 Notes and the 2029 Notes, “Senior Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Workday. We may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, at specified redemption dates and prices. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, we may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes under specified terms. The indenture governing the Senior Notes also includes covenants (including certain limited covenants restricting our ability to incur certain liens and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions), events of default, and other customary provisions. As of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants associated with the Senior Notes.

We incurred debt discount and issuance costs of approximately $27 million in connection with the Senior Notes offering, which were allocated on a pro rata basis to the 2027 Notes, 2029 Notes, and 2032 Notes. The debt discount and issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method, to interest expense over the contractual term of each arrangement. The effective interest rates on the 2027 Notes, 2029 Notes, and 2032 Notes, which are calculated as the contractual interest rates adjusted for the debt discount and issuance costs, are 3.67%, 3.82%, and 3.90%, respectively.

As of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, the total estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $2.9 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. The estimated fair values of the Senior Notes, which we have classified as Level 2 financial instruments, were determined based on quoted bid prices in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period.

Credit Agreement

In fiscal 2023, we entered into a credit agreement (“2022 Credit Agreement”) which provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. As of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025 we had no outstanding revolving loans under the 2022 Credit Agreement. The revolving loans under the 2022 Credit Agreement may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed until April 6, 2027, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. The revolving loans under the 2022 Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at a base rate plus a margin of 0.000% to 0.500% or a secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 10 basis points, plus a margin of 0.750% to 1.500%, with such margin being determined based on our consolidated leverage ratio or debt rating. We are also obligated to pay an ongoing commitment fee on undrawn amounts.

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant, events of default, and indemnification provisions in favor of the lenders. The negative covenants include restrictions on the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, certain merger transactions, and other matters, all subject to certain exceptions. The financial covenant, based on a quarterly financial test, requires that we do not exceed a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50:1.00, subject to a step-up to 4.50:1.00 at our election for a certain period following an acquisition. As of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants included in the 2022 Credit Agreement.

We had additional operating leases for data centers and office space that had not yet commenced as of April 30, 2025, with total undiscounted lease payments of $43 million. These operating leases will commence in fiscal 2026, with lease terms ranging from approximately five to twenty years.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

Our purchase obligations are primarily related to agreements for third-party hosted infrastructure platforms, data center equipment and software, business technology software and support, and sales and marketing activities. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our non-cancelable purchase obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

Legal Matters

We are a party to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We make a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. In our opinion, as of April 30, 2025, there was not at least a reasonable possibility that we had incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of a recorded accrual, with respect to such loss contingencies.

Note 13. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

As of April 30, 2025, there were 216 million shares of Class A common stock, net of treasury stock, and 51 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock can be converted into a share of Class A common stock at any time at the option of the holder.

Share Repurchase Programs

In August 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock (“August 2024 Share Repurchase Program”). Under this program, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions, we may repurchase shares of our Class A common stock through open market purchases, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means. The timing and total amount of share repurchases will depend upon business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The August 2024 Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to acquire any amount of Class A common stock.

Table of Contents

Prior to the August 2024 Share Repurchase Program, our Board of Directors authorized a $500 million share repurchase program in February 2024, which we completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and a $500 million share repurchase program in November 2022, which we completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

The table below sets forth information regarding our share repurchase programs (in millions, except number of shares which are reflected in thousands, and per share data):

20252024
Total number of shares repurchased1,290502
Average price paid per share$227.20$267.09
Amount repurchased$293$134

All repurchases were made in open market transactions. As of April 30, 2025, we were authorized to repurchase a remaining $509 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock under the August 2024 Share Repurchase Program.

In May 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $1.0 billion of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock (“May 2025 Share Repurchase Program”). For further information, see Note 20, Subsequent Event.

Employee Equity Plans

In fiscal 2023, our stockholders approved the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”), with a reserve of 30 million shares for issuance. The 2022 Plan serves as the successor to our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“2012 Plan” and, together with the 2022 Plan, “Stock Plans”). Awards that are granted on or after the effective date of the 2022 Plan will be granted pursuant to and subject to the terms and provisions of the 2022 Plan. Prior awards granted under the 2012 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and provisions of the 2012 Plan. Shares that are forfeited or withheld in connection with the net share settlement of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are added to the reserves of the 2022 Plan. As of April 30, 2025, we had 12 million shares of Class A common stock available for future grants.

In fiscal 2023, our stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2012 ESPP”). Under the 2012 ESPP, eligible employees are granted options to purchase shares at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the time of grant or 85% of the fair market value at the time of exercise. Options to purchase shares are granted twice yearly on or about June 1 and December 1, and are exercisable on or about the succeeding November 30 and May 31, respectively. As of April 30, 2025, 2 million shares of Class A common stock were available for issuance under the 2012 ESPP.

Restricted Stock Units

The Stock Plans provide for the issuance of RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to employees and non-employees. RSUs generally vest over four years. Activity during the three months ended April 30, 2025, was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Number of SharesWeighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding balance as of January 31, 202514,361$226.52

Outstanding balance as of April 30, 202517,049222.18

(1)Includes shares withheld in connection with the net share settlement of RSUs.

Table of Contents

In April 2025, we granted PSUs to executives subject to vesting based on the achievement of annual performance-based conditions determined at the beginning of each fiscal year and a three-year service-based condition. The PSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period, with the number of shares vesting ranging from 0% to 150% of the target, based on the average attainment of the annual performance conditions.

As of April 30, 2025, there was a total of $3.2 billion in unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to unvested RSUs and PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years.

Market-Based Restricted Stock Units

In fiscal 2023, 0.3 million shares of market-based RSUs were granted to Mr. Eschenbach in connection with his appointment as Co-CEO that vest based on appreciation of the price of our Class A common stock over a multi-year period and upon continued service (“PVU Award”). We estimated the fair value of the PVU Award on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions: (i) expected volatility of 40%, (ii) risk-free interest rate of 4%, and (iii) total performance period of six years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the PVU Award was $124.80 per share. We recognize expense for the PVU Award over the requisite service period of five years using the accelerated attribution method. Provided that the requisite service is rendered, the total fair value of the PVU Award at the date of grant is recognized as compensation expense even if the market condition is not achieved. However, the number of shares that ultimately vest can vary significantly with the achievement of the specified market criteria.

As of April 30, 2025, there was a total of $7 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to the PVU Award, which is expected to be recognized over approximately three years.

Note 14. Contract Balances and Performance Obligations

Contract Balances

(1)Included in this balance are amounts related to professional services that are subject to cancellation and pro-rated refund rights of $69 million and $83 million as of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, respectively.

Revenues of $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion were recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, that were included in the unearned revenue balances as of January 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of April 30, 2025, approximately $24.6 billion of revenues are expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for subscription contracts. We expect to recognize revenues on approximately $7.6 billion and $13.5 billion of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the balance recognized thereafter. Revenues from remaining performance obligations for professional services contracts as of April 30, 2025, were not material.

(2)Other primarily includes the net gains (losses) from our equity investments. For further information, see Note 3, Investments.

Note 16. Income Taxes

We reported an income tax provision of $35 million and $16 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The income tax provision for the three months ended April 30, 2025, was primarily attributable to earnings in the U.S. and profitable foreign jurisdictions. The income tax provision for the three months ended April 30, 2024, was primarily attributable to earnings in the U.S. and profitable foreign jurisdictions, offset by the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation.

We are subject to income tax audits in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. We record liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and believe that we have provided adequate reserves for income tax uncertainties in all open tax years. Due to our history of tax losses, all years remain open to tax audit.

We periodically evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, such as historic results, future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, and projected future taxable income, as well as prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies. The assessment requires significant judgement and is performed in each of the applicable jurisdictions. As of April 30, 2025, we continue to maintain valuation allowances related to tax credits in certain state jurisdictions and net operating loss in certain foreign jurisdictions. We will continue to evaluate the need for valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets.

Note 17. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, net of treasury stock. Diluted net income per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock, including outstanding share-based awards consisting primarily of unvested RSUs and ESPP obligations. We determine the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards using the treasury stock method.

The net income per share is allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A common shares and Class B common shares as if the income for the period had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the net income is allocated on a proportionate basis. The computation of the diluted net income per share of Class A common stock assumes the conversion of our Class B common stock to Class A common stock, while the diluted net income per share of Class B common stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.

Long-Lived Assets

Our long-lived assets are attributed to a country based on the physical location of the assets. We define long-lived assets as property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets because many of these assets cannot be readily moved and are relatively illiquid, subjecting them to geographic risk. None of our other assets are subject to significant geographic risk. Aggregate Property and equipment, net and Operating lease right-of-use assets by geographic area was as follows (in millions):

Note 19. Restructuring

In February 2025, we announced a restructuring plan (“Fiscal 2026 Restructuring Plan”) intended to prioritize our investments and continue advancing our ongoing focus on durable growth. This plan resulted in the elimination of approximately 7.5% of our workforce. In connection with this plan, we have exited certain owned office space. The activities associated with this plan are expected to be substantially complete by the second quarter of fiscal 2026, subject to local law and consultation requirements.

We incurred $231 million in charges in connection with this plan, of which $65 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, and the remainder was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The total charges consisted of $197 million related to employee transition, severance payments, employee benefits, and share-based compensation, and $34 million related to an impairment of office space.

Fiscal 2026 Restructuring Plan activity during the three months ended April 30, 2025, was as follows (in millions):

Additionally, we recorded exit charges of $8 million associated with office space reductions under a separate restructuring plan during the three months ended April 30, 2024.

Note 20. Subsequent Event

In May 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the May 2025 Share Repurchase Program, under which we may purchase up to an additional $1.0 billion of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. We may repurchase shares of our Class A common stock through open market purchases, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means. The timing and total amount of share repurchases will depend upon business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The May 2025 Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to acquire any amount of Class A common stock.
