The fair value of RSUs is based on the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
As of April 30, 2024, there was $239.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years based on vesting under the award service conditions.
Performance Stock Units
The Company grants PSUs to certain employees of the Company for which the ultimate number of units that will vest are determined based on the achievement of market and/or performance conditions at the end of the stated performance period.
The Company grants PSUs to certain employees of the Company, which are to vest based on the level of achievement of a Company target related to PagerDuty’s operating plan and the relative growth of the per share price of the Company’s common stock as compared to the S&P Software & Services Select Index over the one-year performance period. The PSUs vest over a three-year period, subject to continuous service with the Company. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will vest based on the performance and market conditions can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount. Compensation expense for PSUs with performance conditions is measured using the fair value at the date of grant, and may be adjusted over the vesting period based on interim estimates of performance against the performance condition. Compensation expense for PSUs with market conditions is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Expense is recorded over the vesting period under the graded-vesting attribution method.
In the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board certified the results of PagerDuty’s operating plan and relative growth of the per share price of the Company’s common stock as compared to the S&P Software & Services Select Index for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. Based on the results, the PSUs granted in April 2023 (“2023 PSU Awards”) were cancelled as the target was not met.
