## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**Freshworks Announces Board Authorization of $400 Million Share Repurchase Program** 

**SAN MATEO, Calif. – February 26, 2026** – <u>Freshworks</u> <u>Inc.</u> (NASDAQ: FRSH) today announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $400 million of the company's outstanding Class A common stock.

"This follow-on share repurchase program demonstrates our confidence in the Company's long-term strategy, durable growth and dedication to disciplined capital allocation," stated Dennis Woodside, CEO & President. "In addition to achieving GAAP profitability in 2025, we generated over $223M in free cash flow and $0.76 per weighted average diluted share, both nearly tripling from 2023. With this program we plan to repurchase shares that we believe the market substantially undervalues, while retaining sufficient cash to invest in future top line and bottom line growth."

Freshworks may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions and/or other means in compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder. Open market repurchases may be structured to occur in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of shares of common stock under this authorization. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases will be determined by Freshworks at its discretion, and will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, prevailing stock prices, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other considerations. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
