Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 24, 2024, ServiceNow, Inc. (“ServiceNow” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information above, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and is not deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing of ServiceNow under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any filings.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 24, 2024, the Company and its President and Chief Operating Officer, Chirantan “CJ” Desai, came to a mutual agreement that Mr. Desai would resign from all positions with the Company, effective immediately.

As previously referenced in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, through its internal processes, the Company received a complaint that raised potential compliance issues related to one of its government contracts. The Company initiated an internal investigation, with the assistance of outside legal counsel, into the validity of these claims that concern the hiring of the Chief Information Officer of the U.S. Army as the Company’s Head of Global Public Sector in March 2023. As a result of the investigation, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) determined that Mr. Desai and the hired individual violated Company policy regarding a possible conflict relating to such individual’s hiring. Mr. Desai has fully cooperated with the investigation and maintains that he did not intentionally violate Company policy. The other individual also has departed the Company. The Company has informed the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General and the Army Suspension and Debarment Office of the investigation and is continuing to cooperate with the Department of Justice, which has commenced its own investigation into these matters. The Company cannot predict the timing, outcome or possible impact of the investigation.

Separation Agreement with President and Chief Operating Officer

In connection with his mutually agreed resignation, Mr. Desai and the Company entered into a separation and release agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), dated as of July 24, 2024. The terms of the Separation Agreement are consistent with the terms of the Confirmatory Employment Letter Agreement between the Company and Mr. Desai, dated October 31, 2017, as amended by the Amendment to Employment Agreement, effective April 30, 2021. The Separation Agreement provides that Mr. Desai is eligible to receive, subject to required deductions and withholdings, (i) any earned but unpaid base salary; (ii) any unpaid earned bonus; (iii) other unpaid and then-vested amounts, including any amount payable under the specific terms of any agreements, plans or awards, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Separation Agreement; and (iv) reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in connection with his performance of services on behalf of the Company in accordance with applicable Company policies and guidelines. In addition, subject to Mr. Desai providing an effective release of claims against the Company and his compliance with the restrictive covenants applicable to him and the obligations under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Desai will also receive: (i) a lump sum payment equal to 6 months of his base salary; (ii) a lump sum payment equal to 50% of his actual bonus for fiscal year 2024 based on: (x) actual achievement of Company performance objectives and (y) deemed 100% achievement of personal performance objectives, if any, less any quarterly payment previously paid, if any, and (iii) a payment of the COBRA premiums (or reimbursement of such premiums) for continued health coverage for Mr. Desai and his dependents for a period of 6 months. Mr. Desai will forfeit all unvested equity awards that had been previously granted to him.

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Appointment of Interim Chief Product Officer

The Company has appointed Chris Bedi as Interim Chief Product Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Bedi has been at the Company for nearly a decade with roles including Chief Digital Information Officer and Chief Customer Officer.

Chirantan J. (“CJ”) Desai
Re:    Mutual Separation and Release Agreement
Dear CJ:
As discussed, ServiceNow, Inc. (the “Company”) and you (collectively the “Parties”) have agreed you will resign from all positions at the Company (“you” or “Desai”). The Company hereby provides this Separation and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”).  This Agreement includes various terms and conditions including a cooperation agreement, a release, Severance Pay (defined below) and termination of your employment agreement with the Company (i.e., the Confirmatory Employment Letter Agreement dated October 31, 2017 between the Parties, as amended by the Amendment to Employment Agreement, effective April 30, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”)).
1.Separation Date. Your last day of work with the Company and your employment termination date will be Wednesday, July 24, 2024 (the “Separation Date”). The Company will pay you all accrued wages to include any earned but unpaid base salary and any earned but unpaid bonus through the Separation Date, subject to required deductions and withholdings. You will also be eligible to receive all other vested but unpaid amounts, including any amount payable under the specific terms of any agreements, plans, or awards, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, subject to required deductions and withholdings. You are entitled to these payments regardless of whether or not you sign this Agreement.
2.Severance Benefits. If, on or within twenty-one (21) days of your receipt of this Agreement, you sign it and allow the releases contained herein to become effective, and comply with the restrictive covenants applicable to you and the obligations stated in this Agreement; then the Company will provide you with the following severance benefits:
(a)Severance Pay.  The Company will pay you Five Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand dollars ($525,000.00), which is the equivalent of: (i) six (6) months base salary [using an annual salary rate of $1,050,000 per year] (“Base Severance Pay”); plus (ii) fifty percent of your actual bonus for fiscal year 2024 based on: (x) actual achievement of Company performance objectives and (y) deemed 100% achievement of any personal performance objectives, less any quarterly payment previously paid, if any, and paid when annual bonuses are otherwise paid to active employees, but no later than March 15, 2025 (“Bonus Severance Pay”). Both the Base Severance Pay and the Bonus Severance Pay (collectively, the “Severance Pay”) will be subject to required deductions and withholdings.  Your Base Severance Pay will be paid in a lump sum on the first regular payday no earlier than one week after you sign and return this Agreement to the Company and after your Separation Date has passed, provided you have not revoked your acceptance of the Agreement pursuant to Section 12(c) of this Agreement.


        


image_0.jpg        
(b)Health Care Continuation Coverage.
(i)COBRA. To the extent provided by the federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws, and by the Company’s current group health insurance policies, you will be eligible to continue your group health insurance benefits at your own expense. Later, you may be able to convert to an individual policy through the provider of the Company’s health insurance, if you wish.
(ii)COBRA Premiums. If you timely elect continued coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay your COBRA premiums to continue your existing coverage (including coverage for eligible dependents, if applicable) (“COBRA Premiums”) for six (6) months (the “COBRA Premium Period”) starting on the Separation Date and ending on the earliest to occur of: (i) January 31, 2025; (ii) the date you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer; or (iii) the date you cease to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for any reason, including plan termination. In the event you become covered under another employer's group health plan or otherwise cease to be eligible for COBRA during the COBRA Premium Period, you must immediately notify the Company in writing of such event.
(iii)Special Cash Payments in Lieu of COBRA Premiums. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay the COBRA Premiums without a substantial risk of violating applicable law (including Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company instead shall pay to you, on the first day of each calendar month, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premiums for that month (including premiums for you and your eligible dependents who have elected and remain enrolled in such COBRA coverage), subject to required deductions and withholdings (such amount, the “Special Cash Payment”), for the remainder of the COBRA Premium Period. You may, but are not obligated to, use such Special Cash Payment toward the cost of COBRA premiums. To the extent that the Company elects to make a Special Cash Payment, then on the thirtieth (30th) day following your Separation from Service, the Company will make the first payment to you under this paragraph, in a lump sum, equal to the aggregate Special Cash Payments that the Company would have paid to you through such date had the Special Cash Payment commenced on the first day of the first month following the Separation from Service through such thirtieth (30th) day, with the balance of the Special Cash Payment paid thereafter on the schedule described above.
3.Equity. You were granted an option(s) (the “Option”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to the Company’s 2012 and/or 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plan”) and the Company’s standard form of stock option agreement (the “Option Agreement”). Under the terms of the Plan and the Option Agreement, your Option will cease to vest, and all unvested shares of Common Stock subject to the Option will be cancelled, in each case as of the Separation Date. Your right to exercise the Option with respect to any shares of Common Stock that have vested as of the Separation Date (the “Remaining Option”) will be as set forth in the Plan and the Option Agreement. If you do not exercise your Remaining Option in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Option Agreement within ninety (90) calendar days after the Separation Date (or such shorter period provided in the Plan), the Remaining Option will expire unexercised.
You were granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”), pursuant to the Plan and the Company’s standard form of RSU agreement (the “RSU Agreement”). Under the terms of the Plan and the RSU
        Page | 2


image_0.jpg        
Agreement, your RSUs will cease to vest, and all shares of Common Stock underlying your RSUs shall be cancelled, in each case as of the Separation Date.
4.Other Compensation or Benefits. You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and except for the tax support and protection as set forth in the Temporary Relocation Agreement dated July 25, 2023 (previously referenced in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023) as amended on April 1, 2024 (the “Relocation Agreement”), you will not receive any additional compensation, severance, or benefits (e.g., the housing allowance set forth in the Relocation Agreement) after the Separation Date. Pursuant to your obligations set forth in the Relocation Agreement, you agree to return the security deposit of Thirty-Two Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($32,000) (“the Security Deposit”) in full to the Company once you vacate the property. If you would like the Security Deposit deducted from the Severance Pay, you must provide written notice further to the notice provision below requesting same in advance of the Company’s payment of the Severance Pay. Your eligibility for all relocation benefits set forth in the Relocation Agreement will cease as of your Separation Date.
The Company recognizes its indemnity obligations to you under California Labor Code Section 2802 (“Section 2802”) and confirms that such obligations include paying you for all reasonable and necessary business expenditures or losses incurred by you pursuant to Section 2802 including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and costs.

5.Expense Reimbursements. You agree that, within ten (10) calendar days after the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all reasonable and necessary business expenses you incurred in connection with your performance of services on behalf of the Company in accordance with applicable Company policies and guidelines through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement. The Company will reimburse you for these expenses pursuant to its regular business practice.
6.Return of Company Property. No later than five (5) business days after your Separation Date (the “Return Period”), you shall return to the Company, all Company documents (including documents of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) and other Company property in your possession, custody, or control (collectively, “Property”). Property should be construed broadly and includes any data, materials, or information owned by the Company (whether or not it is confidential or proprietary) as well as any information created, modified, or used in any way in connection with your employment by the Company. Property includes Company data stored on your personal electronic equipment or systems (e.g., any personally owned computer, phone, server, e-mail system) as well as in your personal accounts (e.g., personal email accounts, messaging services, storage services).
You agree that you will make a diligent search to locate any such Property within the Return Period. Should you find any information that is electronically stored (e.g., documents, emails, text messages, spreadsheets), you must preserve that Property and advise the Company immediately so we can safeguard and collect such Property from you. In order to allow the Company to collect and protect its Property, you agree to retain a forensic expert jointly selected by you and the Company to preserve copies of system(s), device(s), and account(s) wherever such Property is located, so that such Company Property can be identified and exported, via a mutually agreed upon protocol that is sufficient to identify and export all Company property. Such expert shall be promptly selected by the Parties following the execution of this Agreement. You agree that a complete forensic copy of any system(s), device(s), and/or account(s) where any Company Property is identified shall be created
        Page | 3


image_0.jpg        
promptly following the execution of this Agreement and shall be preserved by your legal counsel until the Company directs you, in writing, that such copies may be deleted. As you know, there is a pending investigation and you have an ongoing obligation to preserve all relevant materials related to this matter on any of your devices, whether business or personal. Your timely compliance with the provisions of this paragraph is a precondition to your receipt of the severance benefits provided hereunder.
To the extent that you identify any other Property in your possession, custody, or control after the Return Period, you agree to promptly notify the Company and cooperate in the preservation and return of that Property to the Company, including granting the forensic expert selected by the Parties prompt access to your system(s), device(s) and/or account(s) so we can safeguard and collect such newly identified Property.
7.Proprietary Information Obligations. You acknowledge your continuing obligations, both during and after your employment, under your At Will Employment, Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (“CIIAA”), including your obligations not to use or disclose any confidential or proprietary information of the Company.
8.No Voluntary Adverse Action. You agree that you will not voluntarily (except in response to legal compulsion) assist any non-Government entity in bringing or pursuing any proposed or pending litigation, arbitration, administrative claim, or other formal proceeding against the Company, its parent or subsidiary entities, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents.
9.Cooperation. You agree to cooperate fully with the Company in connection with its actual or contemplated defense, prosecution, or investigation of any claims or demands by or against third parties, or in connection with other matters arising from events, acts, or failures to act that occurred (or are alleged to have occurred) during the period of your employment by the Company. Such cooperation includes, so long as consistent with your Constitutional rights, making yourself available to the Company upon reasonable notice, without requiring a subpoena, to provide complete, truthful, and accurate information in witness interviews, depositions, and trial testimony. The Company will reimburse you for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses you incur in connection with any such cooperation (excluding foregone wages) and will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your scheduling needs.
10.You represent that you are not aware of any action or failure to act that gives rise to any claim against the Company, except for that matter previously described in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2024 at page 17 (i.e., a complaint that raised potential compliance issues during the procurement process related to one of its government contracts).
11.No Admissions. You understand and agree that the promises and payments in consideration of this Agreement shall not be construed to be an admission of any liability or obligation by the Company to you or to any other person, and that the Company makes no such admission.
12.Release of Claims By Desai.
(a)General Release. In exchange for the consideration provided to you under this Agreement, you hereby generally and completely release the Company, and its affiliated, related, parent, and subsidiary entities, and its and their current and former directors, officers,

While this Agreement does not limit your right to receive an award for information provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission, you understand and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you are otherwise waiving any and all rights you may have to individual relief based on any claims that you have released and any rights you have waived by signing this Agreement.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - July 24, 2024 - ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI platform for business transformation, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024, with subscription revenues of $2,542 million in Q2 2024, representing 23% year-over-year growth and 23% in constant currency.

“ServiceNow’s elite-level execution is reflected in our continued outperformance across all topline growth and profitability metrics,” said ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott. “Our relevance as the AI platform for business transformation remains stronger than ever as CEOs are looking for new vectors of growth, simplification, and digitization. ServiceNow intends to reinvent every workflow, in every company, in every industry with GenAI at the core.”

As of June 30, 2024, current remaining performance obligations (“cRPO”), contract revenue that will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was $8.78 billion, representing 22% year-over-year growth and 22.5% in constant currency. The company now has 1,988 total customers with more than $1 million in annual contract value (“ACV”), representing 15% year-over-year growth in customers.

“Q2 was another fantastic quarter with NNACV and GenAI contributions exceeding expectations,” said ServiceNow CFO Gina Mastantuono. “Our Knowledge event in May centered on 'Putting AI to Work for People' and received an incredible response from customers, generating more than $1 billion in pipeline. This robust pipeline, combined with our outperformance in the first half, gives us the visibility to raise our 2024 subscription revenue guidance and reinforces our confidence in achieving $15+ billion in 2026."

Leadership Update

As previously referenced in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company received an internal complaint that raised a potential concern related to one of its employees.

The Company initiated an internal investigation, with assistance of outside legal counsel, into the validity of these claims. The Company also promptly informed and is continuing to cooperate with government entities.

As a result of the investigation, the Company’s Board of Directors determined Company policy was violated regarding the hiring of the former Chief Information Officer of the U.S. Army. As such, the hired individual, who led the company’s public sector thought leadership and business development efforts since March 2023, departed the company. In addition, the Company and CJ Desai, President and Chief Operating Officer, came to a mutual agreement that Desai would resign from all positions with the Company effective immediately. The company believes this was an isolated incident.

The Company has appointed ServiceNow veteran Chris Bedi, as interim Chief Product Officer, effective immediately. Bedi has been at ServiceNow for nearly a decade with roles including Chief Digital Information Officer and Chief Customer Officer.

Financial Outlook

Our guidance includes GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP growth rates for subscription revenues are adjusted for constant currency by excluding effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts, and cRPO are adjusted only for constant currency to provide better visibility into the underlying business trends. Since March 31, 2024, ServiceNow has seen a strengthening of the U.S. dollar resulting in an incremental foreign exchange (“FX”) headwind of $20 million to 2024 subscription revenues when compared to our previous guidance provided on April 24, 2024.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Revenues. We adjust revenues and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative period. To exclude the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars (“USD”) are converted into USD at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period (for Q2 2023, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.92 Euros and 1 USD to 0.80 British Pound Sterling (“GBP”)), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q2 2024, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.93 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 GBP). Guidance for related growth rates is derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period, rather than the exchange rates for the guidance period, adjusted for any foreign currency hedging effects. We believe the presentation of revenues and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of revenues year-over-year.

Remaining performance obligations and current remaining performance obligations. We adjust cRPO and remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period (for Q2 2023, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.92 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 GBP), rather than the actual end of the period exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q2 2024, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.93 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 GBP). Guidance for the related growth rate is derived by applying the end of period exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the exchange rates in effect during the guidance period. We believe the presentation of cRPO and RPO and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of cRPO and RPO year-over-year, respectively.

Gross profit, Income from operations, Net income and Net income per share - diluted. Our non-GAAP presentation of gross profit, income from operations, and net income measures exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring items, including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes, loss on early note conversions, amortization of purchased intangibles, legal settlements, business combination and other related costs, income tax effects and adjustments, and the income tax benefit from the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The non-GAAP weighted-average shares used to compute our non-GAAP net income per share - diluted excludes the dilutive effect of the in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes as they are covered by our note hedges, and includes the dilutive effect of time-based stock awards, the dilutive effect of warrants and the potentially dilutive effect of our stock awards with performance conditions not yet satisfied at forecasted attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance condition will be met. We believe these adjustments provide useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities plus cash outflows for legal settlements, repayments of convertible senior notes attributable to debt discount and business combination and other related costs including compensation expense, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenues. We believe information regarding free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our business operations.

Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results for gross profit, income from operations, net income, net income per share, and free cash flow.

(1)We use a non-GAAP effective tax rate for evaluating our operating results to provide consistency across reporting periods. Based on our long-term projections, we are using a non-GAAP tax rate of 20% and 19% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This non-GAAP tax rate could change for various reasons including significant changes in our geographic earnings mix or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions in which we operate.

(2)GAAP net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by a $910 million release of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets as a discrete tax benefit and $55 million as part of the effective tax rate.
