ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF FRESHWORKS
Freshworks, headquartered in San Mateo, California, provides customer engagement software for businesses. On or about September 22, 2021Freshworks completed its IPO, offering 28.5 million shares of common stock to the investing public at a price of $36 per share (the “Offer Price”). Freshworks expected to generate gross proceeds of over $1 billion of the IPO.
According to the registration statement and prospectus filed by Freshworks (collectively, the “Offering Documents”), Freshworks’ business had “increased rapidly” prior to the IPO. As a result, growth rates for the company and the allegedly “healthy” net dollar retention rates, reflecting the use of its products by existing customers and the sale of additional products to those customers, reached levels never before seen, and there was no indication that either was slowing Net dollar retention rate of 118% for the period ended June 30, 2021which represents a significant increase over the net dollar retention rates of 107%, 111% and 112% achieved in June 30, 2020, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021respectively, as well as Freshworks’ year-over-year revenue growth rate of 53% (as of June 30, 2021), which also represents a significant increase from the Company’s annual growth rate of 45% for the period ended the 31st of December2020. Unbeknownst to investors, at the time of the IPO, Freshworks’ revenue growth and billing had encountered obstacles.
Shares of Freshworks fell after the company announced its fiscal fourth quarter 2021 results on February 10, 2022during which it reported calculated growth in billings and a deceleration in revenue growth of just 44% year-over-year.
Then, on May 3, 2022, after the market closed, Freshworks released its first quarter 2022 financial results, reporting a third quarter of slowing revenue growth and billings that missed consensus estimates and fell 13% from a quarter to quarter. Many analysts reacted immediately by reducing their price targets.
At the time the complaint was filed, shares of Freshworks were trading as low as $10.51 per share, a drop of nearly 70% from the offer price.

Freshworks investors can, not later than January 3, 2023, seek to be named as the lead class representative plaintiff through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or another attorney, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absentee class member.
