Non-GAAP Measurements

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and non-GAAP net income (loss) as a percentage of revenue, which are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP as they have been adjusted to exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, amortization of acquired intangibles, asset impairments, strategic transaction costs, and payroll tax contingencies. Acquisition-related costs include transaction and related costs, subsequent fair value movements in contingent consideration, and compensation arrangements. Strategic transaction costs relate to third-party costs incurred in connection with Michael Walrath's, Yext's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman on the Board of Directors, non-binding proposal to acquire all outstanding shares. Payroll tax contingencies are related to a state payroll withholding tax audit expected to be settled in the first half of fiscal 2027 that are not expected to recur. Non-GAAP net income (loss) as a percentage of revenue is calculated by dividing the applicable non-GAAP financial measure by revenue. Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is defined as non-GAAP net income (loss) on a per share basis. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, basic, as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted average shares outstanding and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, diluted, as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding, which includes the potentially dilutive effect of shares using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method depending on the arrangement.

Beginning in fiscal year 2026, we utilized a projected tax rate of 23.5% in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision which was subsequently updated to 25.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This compares to a projected tax rate of 25% in fiscal year 2025. Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income is determined annually and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events or trends that we believe materially impact the estimated annual rate including, but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, material changes in the geographic mix of revenue and expenses and other significant events. Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income may differ from our GAAP tax rate and from our actual tax liabilities.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and other users of our financial information consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations. With respect to non-GAAP net income (loss) as a percentage of revenue, we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our profitability relative to the amount of revenue generated, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, amortization of acquired intangibles, asset impairments, strategic acquisition costs, and payroll tax contingencies. We also believe non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as these metrics eliminate the effects of the aforementioned items, which may vary for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

We also discuss Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP financial measures that we believe offer a useful view of overall operations used to assess the performance of core business operations and for planning purposes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) before (1) interest income (expense), net, (2) (provision for) benefit from income taxes, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) other income (expense), net, (5) stock-based compensation expense, (6) acquisition-related costs, (7) asset impairments, (8) strategic transaction costs, and (9) payroll tax contingencies. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income (loss). Users should consider the limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA, including the fact that this measure does not provide a complete measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to purport to be an alternate to GAAP net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

We also present free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash used for purchases of capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized software development costs. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow divided by total revenue. We believe this is meaningful to investors because it is a measure of liquidity that provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the strength of our liquidity and future ability to generate cash that can be used for strategic opportunities or investing in our business.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies. Our definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Thus, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, nor superior to or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures may be limited in their usefulness because they do not present the full economic effect of our use of stock-based compensation, certain acquisition-related costs, asset impairments, strategic acquisition costs, and payroll tax contingencies. We compensate for these limitations by providing investors and other users of our financial information a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely related GAAP financial measure. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share in conjunction with GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share.

Recent Changes in Non-GAAP Metrics

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, we revised our definitions of non-GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to include adjustments for asset impairment charges associated with subleasing floors of our corporate offices, strategic transaction costs related to third-party costs incurred in connection with Michael Walrath's, Yext's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman on the Board of Directors, non-binding proposal to acquire all outstanding shares, and payroll tax contingencies related to a non-recurring state payroll withholding tax audit. We believe these changes provide investors with a view of continuing core operations without the effects of these items, which may vary for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

We have recast our results on the same basis for the prior comparative periods presented, although the effects in those periods remain unchanged as no strategic transaction costs, asset impairments, or payroll tax contingencies occurred.

Operating Metrics

This release also includes certain operating metrics that we believe are useful in providing additional information in assessing the overall performance of our business.

ARR is defined as the annualized recurring amount of all contracts executed as of the last day of the reporting period. The recurring amount of a contract is determined based upon the terms of a contract and is calculated by dividing the amount of a contract by the term of the contract and then annualizing such amount. The calculation assumes no subsequent changes to the existing subscription, and where relevant, includes the annualized contractual minimum commitment and amounts related to usage above the contractual minimum commitment. We calculate usage by annualizing monthly amounts in excess of contractual minimum commitments in the current month. Contracts include portions of professional services contracts that are recurring in nature.

ARR is independent of historical revenue, unearned revenue, remaining performance obligations or any other GAAP financial measure over any period. It should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, nor superior to or in isolation from, these measures and other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe ARR-based metrics provide insight into the performance of our recurring revenue business model while mitigating fluctuations in billing and contract terms.
