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 and nine months ended October 31, 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 Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and Capital expenditures, as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Significant segment expenses include the costs and expenses presented on the Condensed 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 October 31, 2025, or January 31, 2025. No customer individually accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, or 2024.
Other than the United States, no country individually accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during the three and nine months ended October 31, 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 and Google Cloud, and co-location data centers. Procedures are in place 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 effect the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which introduces a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal 2027, with early adoption permitted. The updated standard provides for adoption on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
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 effect the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the internal-use software costs capitalization model by eliminating stage-based rules and replacing them with a principles-based framework to be more aligned with modern software development practices. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. Entities may adopt the guidance using prospective application, retrospective application, or a modified transition approach. We are currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

The following table presents the fair values of debt securities as of October 31, 2025, by remaining contractual maturity (in millions). Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have certain prepayment conditions.
| Due within 1 year | $ | 1,049 | |||
| Due 1 year through 5 years | 3,129 | ||||
| Due 5 years through 10 years | 47 | ||||
| Due after 10 years | 30 | ||||
| Total debt securities | $ | 4,255 |
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 $39 million and $53 million was included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 31, 2025, and January 31, 2025, respectively.
As of October 31, 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 $2.7 billion of debt securities during the nine months ended October 31, 2025, with a corresponding realized gain of $24 million. We sold $115 million of debt securities during the nine months ended October 31, 2024, with an immaterial corresponding realized gain.

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.

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.

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 11, Debt.
Note 5. Deferred Costs
Deferred costs, which consist of deferred sales commissions, were $859 million and $828 million as of October 31, 2025, and January 31, 2025, respectively.

Note 7. Business Combinations
Paradox Acquisition
In September 2025, we acquired all outstanding stock of Paradox, Inc. (“Paradox”), a candidate experience agent that uses conversational AI to simplify the job application journey. We have included the financial results of Paradox in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
The total acquisition-date fair value of the purchase consideration was $1.1 billion, attributable to cash consideration of $1.0 billion and the fair value of a previously held equity interest of $20 million. The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be subject to change over the measurement period as additional information is received and certain tax matters are finalized. The measurement period will end no later than one year from the acquisition date. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition were as follows (in millions):
| Cash | $ | 75 | |||
| Acquisition-related intangible assets | 253 | ||||
| Goodwill | 781 | ||||
| Other assets | 49 | ||||
| Other liabilities | (95) | ||||
| Total purchase consideration, inclusive of previously held equity interest | $ | 1,063 |
The fair values and weighted-average useful lives of the acquired intangible assets by category were as follows (in millions, except years):

The goodwill recognized was primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and the expected synergies from integrating Paradox’s technology into our product portfolio. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
Separate operating results and pro forma results of operations for Paradox have not been presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to our financial results.
Other Acquisitions
In August 2025, we completed an acquisition for total purchase consideration of $6 million, resulting in an increase of $1 million and $4 million in acquired developed technology and goodwill, respectively.

Note 10. 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 October 31, 2025, we estimate that $26 million of net losses recorded in AOCI related to our cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
As of October 31, 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 $3.0 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 $433 million and $420 million, respectively. All contracts had maturities of less than 51 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 October 31, 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 $229 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 $535 million and $91 million, respectively.

We manage our exposure to counterparty risk by entering into foreign currency forward contracts with a diversified group of nine 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 $4 million and a liability position of $82 million as of October 31, 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 October 31, 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 October 31, 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 October 31, 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 October 31, 2025, and January 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants included in the 2022 Credit Agreement.

Note 13. 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 nine months ended October 31, 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 October 31, 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 14. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
As of October 31, 2025, there were 214 million shares of Class A common stock, net of treasury stock, and 50 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
We repurchase shares of our Class A common stock under share repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors. Under these programs, 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 share repurchase programs have no expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and do not obligate us to acquire any amount of Class A common stock.
Share repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors that were in effect during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, and 2024, were as follows (in millions):
| Authorization Date | Amount Authorized | Authorization Completion Date | ||||||||||||

All repurchases were made in open market transactions. As of October 31, 2025, we were authorized to repurchase a remaining $4.4 billion of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock under our share repurchase programs.
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 October 31, 2025, 13 million shares of Class A common stock were available for future grants under the 2022 Plan.
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 October 31, 2025, 2 million shares of Class A common stock were available for issuance under the 2012 ESPP.
Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based 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 nine months ended October 31, 2025, was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
| Number of Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | ||||||||||
| Outstanding balance as of January 31, 2025 | 14,361 | $ | 226.52 | ||||||||
| Granted- restricted stock units | 7,281 | 219.30 | |||||||||
| Granted- performance-based restricted stock units (1) | 84 | 215.98 | |||||||||
| Vested | (3,322) | 227.69 | |||||||||
| Forfeited and canceled (2) | (3,672) | 224.06 | |||||||||
| Outstanding balance as of October 31, 2025 | 14,732 | 223.24 | |||||||||
(1)Includes approximately 42 thousand PSUs granted to executives in April 2025. The PSUs are 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.
(2)Includes shares withheld in connection with the net share settlement of RSUs.
As of October 31, 2025, there was a total of $2.7 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 October 31, 2025, there was a total of $4 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to the PVU Award, which is expected to be recognized over approximately two years.
Note 15. Contract Balances and Performance Obligations

Revenues of $1.8 billion and $1.6 billion were recognized during the three months ended October 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, that were included in the unearned revenue balances as of July 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Revenues of $3.9 billion and $3.6 billion were recognized during the nine months ended October 31, 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 October 31, 2025, approximately $26.0 billion of revenues are expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for subscription contracts. We expect to recognize revenues on approximately $8.2 billion and $14.6 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 October 31, 2025, were not material.
Note 16. Other Income, Net
Other income, net consisted of the following (in millions):

(1)Interest expense primarily includes the contractual interest expense of our debt obligations, and the related non-cash interest expense attributable to amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs. For further information, see Note 11, Debt.
(2)Other primarily includes the realized gains (losses) from sales of debt securities and net gains (losses) from our equity investments. For further information, see Note 3, Investments.
Note 17. Income Taxes
We reported an income tax provision of $197 million and $86 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The income tax provision for the nine months ended October 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to earnings in the U.S. and profitable foreign jurisdictions. The income tax provision for the nine months ended October 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to earnings in the U.S. and profitable foreign jurisdictions, offset by the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation and increase in research and development credits.
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 judgment and is performed in each of the applicable jurisdictions. As of October 31, 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.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“The 2025 Tax Act”) was signed into law. The 2025 Tax Act makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and modifications to the international tax framework. The 2025 Tax Act did not have a material impact on our annual effective tax rate and is expected to reduce our domestic cash tax outflows for the remainder of fiscal 2026. Due to the complexity and various upcoming effective dates of the 2025 Tax Act, we are still in the process of assessing its impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The final impact may differ from our current estimates based on further analysis, regulatory guidance, and any legislative changes.
Note 18. 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.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in millions, except number of shares, which are reflected in thousands, and per share data):

Note 19. Geographic Information
Revenues
We sell our subscription contracts and related services in two primary geographical markets: to customers located in the United States and to customers located outside of the United States. Revenues by geography are generally based on the address of the customer as specified in our customer subscription agreement. The following table sets forth revenues by geographic area (in millions):

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 20. 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 were substantially completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
We incurred $237 million in charges in connection with this plan, of which $65 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, $166 million was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and the remainder was recognized thereafter. The total charges consisted of $198 million related to employee transition, severance payments, employee benefits, and share-based compensation, and $39 million related to an impairment of office space.
Fiscal 2026 Restructuring Plan activity was as follows (in millions):

We recorded $9 million in exit charges associated with office space reductions under a separate restructuring plan during the nine months ended October 31, 2024.
Note 21. Subsequent Events
In November 2025, we completed our acquisition of Sana Labs AB (“Sana”), an AI company building the next generation of enterprise knowledge tools, for approximately $1.0 billion in cash. The acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the purchase consideration will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. We are in the process of finalizing the preliminary purchase price allocation for the transaction and will provide the preliminary purchase price allocation within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026.
In November 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Pipedream, Inc. (“Pipedream”), an integration platform for AI agents with pre-built connectors to common business applications. The acquisition is expected to close during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions.
