Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 23, 2023, Yext, Inc. (the “Company”) implemented a restructuring plan intended to reduce operating expenses, improve operating margins, and position the Company for profitable future growth. The plan will reduce the size of the Company’s workforce by approximately 8 percent of Yext’s full-time employees. After completing the reduction, Yext expects to have approximately 1,100 employees, as compared to over 1,400 employees that it had as of the beginning of Fiscal Year 2023.

The Company is taking these steps to streamline its sales and customer services organization. The restructuring includes the implementation of a new cost structure that will remove layers of management to bring the Company in line with what it believes are industry best practices.

The actions today are expected to result in an incremental restructuring cash charge of approximately $2 million, consisting of severance payments, employee benefits and related costs, and the Company expects to incur these expenses primarily in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.

The Company reiterates its previously announced fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2023 guidance ranges for revenue and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. The Company expects to provide the financial results of its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2023 on its next earnings call to be announced in the coming weeks.
