As a strategy to optimize our workforce through AI-driven efficiencies and investment in talent in key strategic areas, the Company streamlined certain functions in our organizational structure. While we eliminated roles in some areas, we plan to continue to hire in key strategic areas. As a result, total employee severance and related costs recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $87 million and $167 million, respectively.Provision for income taxes consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes.

Provision for income taxes consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. Our income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily attributable to the mix of earnings and losses in countries with differing statutory tax rates and stock-based compensation shortfalls, offset by the release of a valuation allowance on certain California deferred tax assets. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against a portion of our California deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding realizability of these deferred tax assets as they have not met the more likely than not realization criteria, particularly as we expect research and development tax credit generation to exceed our ability to use the credits in future years.Now

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and condensed footnotes have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC ) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States ( U.S. ) generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ) for complete financial statements due to the permitted exclusion of certain disclosures for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary under GAAP for fair statement of results for the interim periods presented have been included. As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote tables. The results of operations for the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for other interim periods or future years. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on January 29, 2026.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we have incorporated one update to our significant accounting policies related to employee severance associated with our 2026 workforce optimization strategy. There were no other significant changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on January 29, 2026.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company initiated a workforce optimization strategy that streamlines certain functions in the organization by leveraging AI-driven efficiencies and investing in talent in key strategic areas. Employee severance and related costs associated with the strategy are recognized as one-time employee termination costs when employee notification occurs. For ongoing employee benefit arrangements, severance and related costs are recognized when it becomes probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Credit risk arising from accounts receivable is mitigated to a certain extent due to our large number of customers and their dispersion across various industries and geographies. We had one customer, a U.S. federal channel partner and systems integrator, that represented 12 20 % and 11 % of our accounts receivable balance as of June September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This customer represented 13 12 % of our total revenues for each of the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2026 and 11 % of our total revenues for each of the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2025. Based on our periodic credit evaluations, there have been no historical collection concerns with this customer. For purposes of assessing concentration of credit risk and significant customers, a group of customers under common control or customers that are affiliates of each other are regarded as a single customer.

As of June September 30, 2026, the contractual maturities of our available-for-sale debt securities, excluding those securities classified within cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities that do not have a single maturity, did not exceed 37 months. The fair values of available-for-sale debt securities, by remaining contractual maturity, are as follows (in millions):
Due within 1 year $ 2,161 2,214
Due in 1 year through 5 years 1,952 2,262
Instruments not due in single maturity 91 92
As of both June September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, unrealized losses of $ 17 million and $ 14 million, respectively, are from available-for-sale debt securities in a continuous unrealized loss position greater than 12 months. As of June September 30, 2026, the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities in a continuous unrealized loss position totaled $ 1,097 3,488 million, the majority of which was in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities in a continuous unrealized loss position totaled $ 171 million, the majority of which was in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months.
For all available-for-sale debt securities that were in unrealized loss positions, we have determined that it is more likely than not we will hold the securities until maturity or a recovery of the cost basis. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities were due primarily to changes in market interest rates, and credit-related impairment losses were immaterial as of June September 30, 2026.

As of June September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total amount of strategic investments in privately held companies included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets was $ 2,073 2,050 million and $ 1,542 million, respectively. Our strategic investments are predominantly comprised of non-marketable equity investments, which are primarily accounted for using the measurement alternative. Under this approach, the investments are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes resulting from the issuance of similar or identical securities in an orderly transaction by the same issuer. Determining whether an observed transaction is similar to a security within our portfolio requires judgment based on the rights and preferences of the securities. Recording upward and downward adjustments to the carrying value of our non-marketable equity investments as a result of observable price changes requires quantitative assessments of the fair value of our non-marketable equity investments using various valuation methodologies and involves the use of estimates. The remaining strategic investments consist of privately held equity securities accounted for under the equity method of accounting and privately held debt securities classified as available-for-sale. During the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2026, we recorded net upward adjustments of $ 273 million and $ 360 367 million. respectively. The net adjustments made during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and six the three and nine months ended June September 30, 2025 were immaterial . We classify these fair value measurements as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Our supply chain finance ( SCF ) program provides suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us to a global financial institution acting as our paying agent. A supplier s election to receive early payment at a discounted amount from the financial institution does not change the amount that we must remit to the financial institution on our payment date, which is generally 90 days from the invoice date. Participating suppliers negotiate their sales of receivables directly with the financial institution at their sole discretion and we have no economic interest in a supplier s decision to participate in the SCF program. We do not have pledged assets or other guarantees under our SCF program. Our outstanding payment obligations to suppliers participating in the SCF program totaled $ 28 18 million and $ 87 million as of June September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Number of customers with ACV greater than $5 million. We count the total number of customers with annual contract value ( ACV ) greater than $5 million as of the end of the period. We had 658 680 and 533 553 customers with ACV greater than $5 million as of June September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For purposes of customer count, a customer is defined as an entity that has a unique Dunn & Bradstreet Global Ultimate ( GULT ) Data Universal Numbering System ( DUNS ) number and an active subscription contract as of the measurement date. The DUNS number is a global standard for business identification and tracking. We make exceptions for holding companies, government entities and other organizations for which the GULT, in our judgment, does not accurately represent the ServiceNow customer. For example, while all U.S. government agencies roll up to Government of the United States under the GULT, we count each government agency that we contract with as a separate customer. Our customer count is subject to adjustments for acquisitions, spin-offs and other market activity; accordingly, we restate previously disclosed number of customers with ACV greater than $5 million calculations to allow for comparability. ACV is calculated based on the foreign exchange rate in effect at the time the contract was signed. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations could cause some variability in the number of customers with ACV greater than $5 million. We believe information regarding the total number of customers with ACV greater than $5 million provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of our growing customer base and demonstrates the value customers are receiving from the Platform.

Renewal rate . We calculate our renewal rate by subtracting our attrition rate from 100%. Our attrition rate for a period is equal to the ACV from customers lost during the period, divided by the sum of (i) the total ACV from all customers that renewed during the period, excluding changes in price or users, and (ii) the total ACV from all customers lost during the period. Accordingly, our renewal rate is calculated based on ACV and is not based on the number of customers that have renewed. Further, our renewal rate does not reflect increased or decreased purchases from our customers to the extent such customers are not lost customers or lapsed renewals. A lost customer is a customer that did not renew an expiring contract and that, in our judgment, will not be renewed. Typically, a customer that reduces its subscription upon renewal is not considered a lost customer. However, in instances where the subscription decrease represents the majority of the customer s ACV, we may deem the renewal as a lost customer. For our renewal rate calculation, we define a customer as an entity with a separate production instance of our service and an active subscription contract as of the measurement date, instead of an entity with a unique GULT or DUNS number. We adjust our renewal rate for acquisitions, consolidations and other customer events that cause the merging of two or more accounts occurring at the time of renewal. Our renewal rate was 98% for each of the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2026 and 97% and 98% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. As our renewal rate is impacted by the timing of renewals, which could occur in advance of, or subsequent to the original contract end date, period-to-period comparison of renewal rates may not be meaningful.

Except for the fixed-rate senior notes and unsecured revolving credit facility entered into during the three months ended June 30, 2026, there have been no other changes in our market risk compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on January 29, 2026.
In May 2026, we issued five series of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion (collectively, the Notes ). The proceeds from the issuance were $3.9 billion, net of debt discount and issuance costs of $57 million. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, except for our notes due in August 2031, for which interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. In August 2020, we issued 1.40% fixed-rate ten-year notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion due on September 1, 2030 (the 2030 Notes, and together with the Notes, the Senior Notes ). The 2030 Notes were issued at 99.63% of principal and we incurred approximately $13 million of debt issuance costs. Interest is payable on the 2030 Notes semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year. As the Senior Notes bear interest at fixed rates, we have no financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. However, the fair value of the Senior Notes will fluctuate with movement in market interest rates.
In April 2026, we entered into a credit agreement with certain institutional lenders that provides for a $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Any borrowings under our Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, either at a base rate, or at an adjusted benchmark rate plus a spread of 0.60% to 1.00% with such spread being determined based on our credit rating. Because the interest rates applicable to borrowings under the Credit Facility are variable, we are exposed to market risk from changes in the underlying index rates, which affect our cost of borrowing. As of September 30, 2026, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Regulations under the Exchange Act require public companies, including our Company, to maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) to mean a company s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC s rules and forms.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
