Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Freshworks Inc. (Freshworks, or the Company) is a software development company that provides software-as-a-service (SaaS) products that deliver modern and innovative AI-guided customer and employee service solutions that enable companies of all sizes to drive delightful engagement and increase productivity. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 2010 and is headquartered in San Mateo, California. On June 6, 2024, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of D42 Parent, Inc., (Device42), an IT asset management company, for approximately $238.1 million. See Note 6—Business Combination. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive loss, of cash flows, and of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes to such condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on February 16, 2024. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make 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 income and expense during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following: •determination of standalone selling price (SSP) for each distinct performance obligation included in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations; •allowance for doubtful accounts; •expected benefit period of deferred contract acquisition costs; •capitalization of internal-use software development costs; •fair value of goodwill; •useful lives of long-lived assets, including intangible assets; •valuation of deferred tax assets; •valuation of employee defined benefit plan and other compensation liabilities; •fair value of share-based awards; and •incremental borrowing rate used for operating leases. Concentrations of Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are generally held with large financial institutions and are in excess of the federally insured limits provided on such deposits. In addition, the Company has cash and cash equivalents held in international bank accounts, which are denominated primarily in Euros, British Pounds, and Indian Rupees. There were no customers that individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 or that represented 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2024. The Company primarily relies upon its third-party cloud infrastructure partner, Amazon Web Services, to serve customers and operate certain aspects of its services. Any disruption of this cloud infrastructure partner would impact the Company's operations and its business could be adversely impacted. Significant Accounting Policies The Company's significant accounting policies are described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, except for the addition of the following revenue recognition policy for the business acquired in June 2024 (see Note 6): Software license revenue is generally sold as bundled arrangements that include the rights to a software license and maintenance. For these contracts, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on the basis of relative standalone selling price. Software license revenue consists of term licenses and is recognized upfront, upon making the software available to the customer. The associated software maintenance revenue is recognized as support and updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the contract term. Recent Accounting Pronouncements There have been no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
