On April 15, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), pursuant to 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.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the consolidated accounts of PagerDuty. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2022, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 fair value of stock awards, period of benefit for amortizing deferred contract costs, the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the provision for income taxes, including the related valuation allowance and any uncertain tax positions, fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, the incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities, and estimates related to our revenue recognition, such as the assessment of performance obligations in our revenue arrangements and the fair value assigned to each performance obligation, 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.

In December 2019, the novel coronavirus and resulting disease (“COVID-19”) was reported and in March 2020 the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the consolidated financial statements during the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our assumptions and estimates may change materially in future periods.
