FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to, statements regarding our financial outlook, product development, business strategy, plans, market trends, opportunities, positioning, the anticipated impact on our business of the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures, and the macroeconomic environment. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date they were first issued and were based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “believe,” “hope,” “target,” “project,” “goals,” “estimate,” “potential,” “predict,” “may,” “will,” “might,” “could,” “intend,” “shall” and variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include these identifying words. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors.”
Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:
• our future financial performance, including our revenue, costs of revenue, gross profits, margins and operating expenses;
• the impact of macroeconomic conditions, including the inflation and interest rate environment, and political, economic and social instability;
• our ability to successfully integrate and realize the benefits of strategic acquisitions or investments, including our acquisition of Auth0, Inc. (“Auth0”);
• trends in our key business metrics;
• the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations;
• the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents, investments and cash provided by sales of our products and services to meet our liquidity needs;
• market or other opportunities arising from business combinations; and
• the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on our financial statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, risks detailed in “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as other documents that may be filed by us from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

1. Overview and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Okta, Inc. (the “Company”) is the leading independent identity provider. The Okta Workforce Identity and Customer Identity Clouds enable the Company’s customers to securely connect the right people to the right technologies and services at the right time. The Company was incorporated in January 2009 as Saasure Inc., a California corporation, and was later reincorporated in April 2010 under the name Okta, Inc. as a Delaware corporation. The Company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods presented but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2023 or any future period.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2023, for example, refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2023.
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2022.
Certain reclassifications of components of prior period investing cash flows have been made in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the aggregate cash flow classifications as previously reported.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that its management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates include the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation included in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the determination of the period of benefit for deferred commissions, the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used for operating lease liabilities, the valuation of deferred income tax assets, the valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets and their useful lives and the valuation of certain equity awards assumed.
2. Accounting Standards and Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. The Company no longer considers the accounting policy for its convertible senior notes to be a significant accounting policy due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06 effective February 1, 2022, which simplified the accounting for convertible instruments.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2020-06
The Company adopted the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), effective February 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method. The prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes from GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature, and as a result, after adoption, no longer requires separately presenting in equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt. Similarly, the embedded conversion feature is no longer amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument. Instead, the convertible debt instrument is accounted for wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s accounting treatment prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06.
The Company recognized a cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU as an adjustment to the February 1, 2022 opening balance of accumulated deficit. Due to the elimination of the equity conversion component of the Company’s convertible senior notes outstanding as of February 1, 2022, additional paid-in capital was reduced. The elimination of the equity conversion component had the effect of increasing the Company’s net debt balance. The reduction of other liabilities is related to changes to the Company’s deferred tax liabilities.
The adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in the following changes to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2022:
Balance at
January 31, 2022 Adjustments from Adoption of ASU 2020-06 Balance at

Liabilities
Convertible senior notes, net $ 16,194 $ 927 $ 17,121

Other liabilities, noncurrent 31,775 ( 866 ) 30,909
Stockholders’ equity
Additional paid-in capital 7,749,716 ( 527,444 ) 7,222,272
Accumulated deficit ( 1,815,867 ) 155,856 ( 1,660,011 )
In addition, the adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in a decrease in reported net interest expense of approximately $ 21.2 million and $ 63.0 million and a decrease in basic and diluted net loss per share of $ 0.13 and $ 0.40 , for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, respectively.
ASU No. 2021-08
The Company adopted the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”), effective February 1, 2022, on a prospective basis. The update requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination be recognized and measured in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2021-04
The Company adopted the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”), effective February 1, 2022, on a prospective basis. ASU 2021-04 addresses specific guidance related to modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) by specifying the accounting for various modification scenarios. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Business Combinations
Acquisition of Auth0
On May 3, 2021, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of privately-held Auth0, Inc. (“Auth0”), an Identity-as-a-Service company. Total consideration transferred for Auth0 was $ 5,671.0 million, including approximately 19.2 million shares of common stock valued at $ 5,175.6 million, cash of $ 257.0 million, and assumed outstanding equity awards with vested fair value of $ 238.4 million. Cash consideration of $ 3.8 million and approximately 1.1 million shares valued at $ 294.6 million were held back as partial security for post-closing true-up adjustments as well as any indemnification claims made within one year of the acquisition date. The consideration held back was paid in full during the nine months ended October 31, 2022. The Company incurred $ 29.0 million of acquisition-related costs, which were recorded as general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2021.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The total purchase price of $ 5,671.0 million was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired was $ 5,290.1 million and was recorded as goodwill.
Acquisition of atSpoke
On August 2, 2021, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding capital stock of privately-held Townsend Street Labs, Inc. (“atSpoke”), a modern workplace operations platform. The acquisition date cash consideration for atSpoke was approximately $ 79.3 million, of which $ 13.4 million of consideration was held back as partial security for any adjustments and indemnification obligations and will be paid within 18 months of the closing date.
The Company recorded $ 18.3 million for developed technology intangible assets with an estimated useful life of 3 years and recorded $ 62.2 million of goodwill. The Company incurred $ 0.9 million of acquisition-related costs, which were recorded as general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statement of operations in the nine months ended October 31, 2021.

The Company had 189 and 193 short-term investments in unrealized loss positions as of October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, respectively.
For available-for-sale debt securities that have unrealized losses, the Company evaluates whether (i) the Company has the intention to sell any of these investments, (ii) it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any of these available-for-sale debt securities before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis and (iii) the decline in the fair value of the investment is due to credit or non-credit related factors. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that for short-term investments, there were no material credit or non-credit related impairments as of October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022.
Strategic Investments
The Company's strategic investments primarily include equity investments in privately-held companies, which do not have a readily determinable fair value. As of October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the balance of strategic investments was $ 23.6 million and $ 15.3 million, respectively.
5. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets at fair value each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Three levels of inputs may be used to measure as follows:
Level 1—Valuations based on observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Valuations based on other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

During the three months ended October 31, 2022, the Company announced a real estate optimization plan which provided for closing duplicative sites and decommissioning underutilized offices and floors. As a result, the Company recognized $ 14.2 million of non-cash lease impairment charges included in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2022. The non-cash lease impairment charges represent the amount that the carrying value of the asset groups exceeded their estimated fair values. The asset groups primarily include operating lease right-of-use assets, leasehold improvements, and related property and equipment. To estimate the fair value of the asset group, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow approach using market participant assumptions of the expected cash flows and discount rate.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2022, the Company’s employees purchased 269,814 shares of its Class A common stock under the ESPP. The shares were purchased at a weighted-average purchase price of $ 70.27 per share, with total proceeds of $ 19.0 million.
As of October 31, 2022, there was $ 15.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 0.6 years.
13. Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, the Company recorded a tax provision of $ 3.7 million and $ 9.8 million on pretax losses of $ 205.2 million and $ 652.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 was approximately ( 1.8 )% and ( 1.5 )%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of not recognizing the tax benefit for U.S. losses due to a full valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets, the tax effect of foreign operations, U.S. state taxes, and stock-based compensation shortfalls in the United Kingdom.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 amended Internal Revenue Code Section 174 to require that specific research and experimental (“R&E”) expenditures be capitalized and amortized over five years (U.S. R&E) or fifteen years (non-U.S. R&E) beginning in the Company's fiscal 2023. Although Congress has considered legislation that would defer, modify or repeal the capitalization and amortization requirement, to date the provision has not been deferred, repealed or otherwise modified. As a result, the Company may be required to utilize some of its federal and state tax attributes and there may be increases to cash taxes or tax expense.
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021, the Company recorded a tax provision of $ 0.7 million and a tax benefit of $ 6.8 million on pretax losses of $ 220.6 million and $ 614.0 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 was approximately ( 0.3 )% and 1.1 %, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of not recognizing deferred tax assets for U.S. losses due to a full valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets, release of the valuation allowance in the United States in connection with the acquired businesses, a remeasurement of deferred tax assets in connection with a tax rate change in the United Kingdom, and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the United

Kingdom. The tax benefit for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 was partially offset by income tax expense in profitable foreign jurisdictions and U.S. state taxes.

As the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities that are not included in the diluted per share calculations because they would be anti-dilutive are as follows:
As of October 31,

Issued and outstanding stock options 6,630 8,621
Unvested RSUs issued and outstanding 9,120 5,221

Shares related to the 2025 Notes 5,617 5,617
Shares related to the 2026 Notes 4,820 4,820
28,799 27,165
The Company uses the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion options embedded in the Notes on diluted net income per share, if applicable. The conversion options of the 2023 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes are dilutive in periods of net income on a weighted-average basis using an assumed conversion date equal to the later of the beginning of the reporting period and the date of issuance of the respective Notes. The exercise rights of the Warrants will have a dilutive impact on net income per share of common stock under the treasury-stock method when the average market price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of $ 68.06 per share.
