FRESHWORKS’ ALLEGED MISCONDUCT

Freshworks, headquartered in San Mateo, California, provides customer engagement software for businesses. On or about September 22, 2021, Freshworks conducted its IPO, offering 28.5 million shares of its common stock to the investing public at a price of $36 per share (the “Offering Price”). Freshworks anticipated generating gross proceeds of over $1 billion from the IPO.

According to the Registration Statement and Prospectus filed by Freshworks (collectively, the Offering Documents”), Freshworks’ business had “grown rapidly” in the lead up to the IPO. As a result, the company’s growth rates and purportedly “healthy” net dollar retention rates, reflecting the usage of its products from existing customers and the sale of additional products to these customers, reached levels not previously achieved, and there was no indication that either was decelerating. In fact, the Offering Documents repeatedly and prominently touted Freshworks’ 118% net dollar retention rate for the period ended June 30, 2021, which represented a noteworthy increase from the 107%, 111%, and 112% net dollar retention rates achieved as of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively, as well as Freshworks’ year-over-year revenue growth rate of 53% (as of June 30, 2021), which likewise represented a significant increase over the Company’s 45% year-over-year growth rate for the period ended December 31, 2020. Unbeknownst to investors, at the time of the IPO, Freshworks’ revenue growth and billings had encountered obstacles.

Freshworks’ stock declined after the Company announced its fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 earnings on February 10, 2022, during which it reported flat calculated billings growth and revenue growth deceleration of only 44% year over year.

Then, on May 3, 2022, after the market closed, Freshworks reported its first quarter 2022 financial results, reporting a third quarter of decelerating revenue growth and billings that missed consensus estimates and declined 13% quarter over quarter. Many analysts immediately responded by reducing their price targets.

By the filing of the complaint, Freshworks’ shares traded as low as $10.51 per share, a decline of nearly 70% from the Offering Price.

WHAT CAN I DO?

Freshworks investors may, no later than January 3, 2023, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages Freshworks investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information.

WHO CAN BE A LEAD PLAINTIFF?

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
