Initial Public Offering
On April 15, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering (IPO), in which the Company issued and sold 9,860,500 shares of common stock, inclusive of the over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $24.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $213.7 million, after deducting underwriters' discounts and commissions of $16.6 million and other issuance costs of $6.4 million. Immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s IPO, all shares of the redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 41,273,345 shares of common stock.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. 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. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended January 31, 2019, included in the Company’s final prospectus related to the Company’s IPO dated April 11, 2019 (Prospectus), filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 (b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the Securities Act). There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Prospectus that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, expect as described below.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of PagerDuty, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows, and statements of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit. The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending January 31, 2020 or for any other interim period, or for any future year.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2020, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make, on an
ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve the valuation of the Company’s stock-based awards, including the determination of fair value of common stock (prior to the closing of the IPO) and the fair value of the employee stock purchase plan expense, period of benefit for amortizing deferred contract costs, the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts, and the provision for income taxes, including related valuation allowance and uncertain tax positions, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Stock Split
In May 2018, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock effective May 3, 2018. All redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock share and per-share amounts for the periods presented in these condensed financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for the stock split as if such stock split occurred on the first day of the periods presented.
