On March 4, 2025, the Company announced that it is planning to reduce its global workforce by approximately 7%, or approximately 130 total positions (the “ Planned Reductions”). In addition, the Company announced that it will implement a voluntary departure program to offer employees an opportunity to voluntarily resign and receive a severance package. The voluntary departures are not included in the metrics above for the Planned Reductions. All of the actions are part of ongoing organizational alignment and performance management initiatives as the Company continues to focus on key strategic priorities. The actions are expected to be substantially completed in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2025, subject to local law and regulatory requirements, which may extend the process in certain countries.

In connection with the Planned Reductions, the Company currently estimates that it will incur expenses of approximately $5 million, primarily for severance and other termination benefits. The majority of these expenses are expected to result in cash expenditures. The Company expects to recognize these anticipated expenses primarily during the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2025. The expenses related to the voluntary reductions will depend on the employees that accept the Company’s offer. The Company will continue to hire for roles critical to its strategic initiatives and intends to exclude the charges associated with the planned actions from its non-GAAPfinancial measures. The Company does not expect the results of these actions to materially impact its previously provided guidance.
