Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Workday, Inc. (“Workday”) expects its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter and full-year financial results to be in-line with its guidance as provided on its fiscal 2026 third quarter earnings call on November 25, 2025, with the exception of its GAAP operating margin, due to the activities discussed in Items 2.05 and 2.06 below. Workday now expects its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter GAAP operating margin to be 24 to 25 percentage points lower than its fourth quarter non-GAAP operating margin and its fiscal 2026 full-year GAAP operating margin to be 22 to 23 percentage points lower than its full-year non-GAAP operating margin. Workday intends to exclude the charges associated with these activities from its non-GAAP financial measures.

These expectations are based on preliminary unaudited financial and other information, and subject to normal quarterly closing processes and accounting review. As previously announced, Workday is scheduled to report its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter and full-year financial results on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.

Item 2.05 - Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On February 4, 2026, certain functions within Workday announced reorganizations designed to better align their people and resources to their highest priorities in fiscal 2027. These actions are expected to result in the elimination of approximately 2% of Workday’s current workforce, primarily in non-revenue generating roles within Workday’s Global Customer Operations team. Workday plans to continue to hire in key strategic areas and locations throughout its fiscal 2027, including additional revenue-generating areas to meet its market opportunity.

In connection with the above, Workday estimates that it will incur approximately $135 million in charges which are expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, consisting of approximately $40 million of future cash expenditures related to severance payments, employee benefits, and related costs and approximately $15 million in non-cash charges for stock-based compensation. The charges also consist of approximately $80 million in non-cash charges related to the impairment of certain office space and long-lived assets.

The actions described above are expected to be substantially completed by the first quarter of fiscal 2027, subject to local law and consultation requirements.

The estimates of the charges and expenditures that Workday expects to incur in connection with the above, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates.

Item 2.06 – Material Impairments

The information contained in Item 2.05 above with respect to impairment charges related to certain office space and
