“In Q2, we made deliberate choices to accelerate our AI transformation,” said Yamini Rangan, Chief Executive Officer at HubSpot. “Scaling companies want real outcomes and predictable pricing when adopting AI, and we are evolving our product, pricing, and go-to-market to meet those needs. Our agents are delivering measurable outcomes for go-to-market teams, while our pricing updates make it easier for customers to get started, realize value quickly, and scale. The AI shift unlocks a much larger opportunity for HubSpot, and I'm confident these choices position us to drive long-term, compounding growth.”*All comparisons are to the comparable prior-year period, unless otherwise noted. Share Repurchase ProgramOn August 3, 2026, the company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional share repurchase program for the repurchase of shares of the company’s common stock, in an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion (the “August 2026 Share Repurchase Program”) over a period of up to 24 months. Repurchases under this program will be made in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or other means, including pursuant to 10b5-1 plans, and in compliance with applicable securities laws and other requirements. The timing, manner, price, and amount of the August 2026 Share Repurchase Program will be subject to the discretion of the company’s management. The August 2026 Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the company to acquire a specified number of shares, and may be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time, without prior notice.Business OutlookBased on information available as of August 5, 2026, HubSpot is issuing guidance for the third quarter and full year of 2026 as indicated below.

HubSpot’s estimates of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, interest expense for amortization of one-time upfront debt issuance costs, restructuring charges, and income tax effects of non-GAAP items assume, among other things, the occurrence of no additional acquisitions, changes in value of strategic investments, and no further revisions to stock-based compensation and related expenses. Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresWe report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. However, management believes that, in order to properly understand our short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. In this release, HubSpot’s non-GAAP operating income, operating margin, subscription margin, expense, expense as a percentage of revenue, net income, operating and free cash flow are not presented in accordance with GAAP and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations.

Calculated billings is defined as total revenue recognized in a period plus the sequential change in total deferred revenue in the corresponding period. Non-GAAP operating cash flow is defined as cash and cash equivalents provided by or used in operating activities plus payment of restructuring charges. Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as cash and cash equivalents provided by or used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of software development costs, plus payment of restructuring charges. Although non-GAAP operating cash flow and non-GAAP free cash flow are not residual cash flow available for our discretionary expenditures, we believe information regarding non-GAAP operating cash flow and non-GAAP free cash flow provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the strength of our liquidity and provides a comparable framework for assessing how our business performed when compared to prior periods which were not impacted by restructuring charges paid from operating cash flow. Constant currency amounts are presented to provide a framework for assessing our operating performance excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. 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 for the comparative period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We intend to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. Management may, however, utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included above in this press release. These non-GAAP measures exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expenses, disposition related income, interest expense for the amortization of one-time upfront debt issuance costs, gain or impairment losses on strategic investments, restructuring charges, and account for the income tax effects of the exclusion of these non-GAAP items. We believe investors may want to incorporate the effects of these items in order to compare our financial performance with that of other companies and between time periods: A.Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense allows for financial results that are more indicative of our operational performance and provide for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies because stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period and company to company due to such things as differing valuation methodologies and changes in stock price. B.Expense for the amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from non-GAAP expense and income measures as HubSpot views amortization of these assets as arising from pre-acquisition activities determined at the time of an acquisition. While these intangible assets are evaluated for impairment regularly, amortization of the cost of purchased intangibles is a non-cash expense that is not typically affected by operations during any particular period. Valuation and subsequent amortization of intangible assets can also be inconsistent in amount
Page | 11
and frequency because they can significantly vary based on the timing and size of acquisitions and the inherently subjective nature of the degree to which a purchase price is allocated to intangible assets. We believe that the exclusion of this amortization expense provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods, for which we have historically excluded amortization expense, and to our peer companies, which commonly exclude acquired intangible asset amortization. It is important to note that although we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from our non-GAAP expense and income measures, revenue generated from such intangibles is included within our non-GAAP income measures. The use of these intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future periods as well. C.Acquisition related expenses, such as transaction costs, retention payments, and holdback payments, and disposition related income, such as proceeds from sale of assets, are transactions that are not necessarily reflective of our operational performance during a period. We believe that the exclusion of these expenses and income provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies, which commonly exclude these expenses and income. Payments for acquisition related expenses are included in our non-GAAP operating cash flow and free cash flow. D.
In June 2020, we issued $460 million of convertible notes due in 2025 with a coupon interest rate of 0.375%. The issuance cost of the debt is amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the debt. We believe the exclusion of this interest expense for one-time upfront issuance costs provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies. The Notes matured in June 2025, and no additional expense has been recognized thereafter. E.Strategic investments consist of non-controlling equity investments in privately held companies. The recognition of gains, impairment losses, or the proportionate share of net earnings can vary significantly across periods and we do not view them to be indicative of our fundamental operating activities and believe the exclusion provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies. F.Restructuring charges are related to severance, employee related benefits, facilities and other costs associated with the restructuring plan implemented in January 2023. Restructuring charges fluctuate in amount and frequency and are not reflective of our core business operating results. In addition to the restructuring charges related to facilities we abandoned during the year ended 2023, through 2027, we expect to both incur incremental restructuring charges and make cash payments related to such facilities. The abandonment of facilities is part of the restructuring plan we authorized on January 25, 2023 and is intended to consolidate our lease space and create higher density across our workspaces. The incremental charges we expect to incur relate to continuing costs for the abandoned facilities and are expected to be in the range of $5-6 million. We also expect to make cash payments of approximately $20 million in fixed rent payments for the abandoned facilities that will be made in monthly installments through 2027, for which we have taken the full restructuring charge during the year ended 2023. We plan on excluding both the incremental charges and cash payments and the related restructuring cash rent payments from our non-GAAP earnings, operating cash flow, and free cash flow metrics. We believe exclusion of these charges and cash payments provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the strength of earnings and liquidity and provides a comparable framework for assessing how our business performed when compared to prior periods which were not impacted by excluded restructuring charges paid from operating cash flow. G.The effects of income taxes on non-GAAP items reflect a fixed long-term projected tax rate of 15% to provide better consistency across reporting periods. In 2026, we updated our fixed long-term projected tax rate from 20% to 15% to reflect regulatory changes from the One Big Beautiful Bill that was signed into law on July 4, 2025. To determine this long-term non-GAAP tax rate, we exclude the impact of other non-GAAP adjustments and take into account other factors such as our current operating structure and existing tax positions in various jurisdictions. We will periodically reevaluate this tax rate, as necessary, for significant events such as relevant tax law changes and material changes in our forecasted geographic earnings mix. For a comparison of our prior-year
