Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), regarding interim financial reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, and accordingly the balance sheet as of January 31, 2023, and related disclosures, have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial information. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 2024 or for any other interim period or for any other future year.
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended January 31, 2023 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2023 10-K”) filed with the SEC on April 3, 2023.

| Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value assumptions for stock-based compensation, software costs eligible for capitalization, recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and on assumptions that it believes are reasonable and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

| Segments |
Segments
The Company operates in one segment because the Company’s offerings operate on its single Customer Experience Management Platform, the Company’s products are deployed in a similar way, and the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the chief executive officer, evaluates the Company’s financial information and assesses the performance of the Company on a consolidated basis. The CODM does not receive discrete financial information about asset allocation, expense allocation or profitability by product or geography. Because the Company operates in one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the consolidated financial statements.

| Concentration of Risk and Significant Customers |
Concentration of Risk and Significant Customers
The Company’s financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Although the Company deposits its cash with multiple financial institutions, its deposits generally exceed federally insured limits.
To manage credit risk related to accounts receivable, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is determined by applying a loss-rate method based on an aging schedule using the Company’s historical loss rate. The Company also considers reasonable and supportable current and forecasted information in determining its estimated loss rates, such as external forecasts, macroeconomic trends, or other factors, including customers’ credit risk and historical loss experience. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from invoiced customers located primarily in North America and Europe.
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022.
In addition, the Company relies upon third-party hosted infrastructure partners globally to serve customers and operate certain aspects of its services, such as environments for development testing, training, sales demonstrations, and production usage. Given this, any disruption of or interference at the Company’s hosted infrastructure partners would impact the Company’s operations and could adversely impact its business.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, with subsequent amendments, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“Topic 326”). The Company adopted Topic 326 on January 31, 2023, with an effective date of February 1, 2022, which amended the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The Company utilized the modified-retrospective approach at adoption, under which prior period comparable financial information was not adjusted. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company derives its revenues primarily from (i) subscription revenue, which consists of subscription fees from customers accessing the Company’s cloud-based software platform and applications, as well as related customer support services; and (ii) professional services revenue, which consists of fees associated with providing services that educate and assist the Company’s customers with the configuration and optimization of the Company’s software platform and applications. Professional services revenue also includes managed services fees where the Company’s consultants work as part of its customers’ teams to help leverage the subscription service to execute on their customer experience management goals.
Costs to Obtain Customer Contracts Costs to obtain customer contracts, including commissions earned, that are considered incremental and recoverable are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the anticipated period of benefit. The Company determines the period of benefit by taking into consideration the length of its customer contracts, customer relationship period, technology lifecycle, and other factors. The Company currently estimates the period of benefit for which costs are amortized over to be five years. Sales commissions paid for renewals are not commensurate with commissions paid on the initial contract given the substantive difference in commission rates in proportion to their respective contract values. Amortization expense is recorded in sales and marketing expense within the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

| Fair Value Measurement |
The Company classifies its highly liquid money market funds within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The Company classifies its commercial paper, corporate and municipal debt securities, U.S. government and agency securities and certificates of deposit within Level 2 because they are valued using inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded.
The Company’s primary objective when investing excess cash is preservation of capital, hence the Company’s marketable securities consist primarily of U.S. government and agency securities, high credit quality corporate debt securities and commercial paper. The Company has classified and accounted for its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities, as it may sell these securities at any time for use in the Company’s current operations or for other purposes, even prior to maturity. As of October 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023, for fixed income securities that were in unrealized loss positions, the Company has determined that (i) it does not have the intent to sell any of these investments and (ii) it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. In addition, as of October 31, 2023, the Company anticipates that it will recover the entire amortized cost basis of such fixed income securities before maturity. The Company regularly reviews the changes to the rating of its debt securities by rating agencies as well as reasonably monitors the surrounding economic conditions to assess the risk of expected credit losses.

| Net Income (Loss) Per Share |
The Company has two classes of common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion and transfer rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and the resulting basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders are, therefore, the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on both an individual and combined basis.
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock equivalents, which includes stock options, restricted stock units and other awards. In periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.
