This presentation contains “forward ‐looking” statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on inf orm ation currently available to management. Forward ‐looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed strategy, future operations, financing plans, operating mod el, financial position, future revenues, projected costs, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, potential market opportunities, plans and objecti ves of management, the effects of competition on our business, and customer trends. Forward ‐looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “antic ipa tes,” “believes,” “could,” “seeks,” “estimates” (including, without limitation, financial estimates denoted with an “E,” such as FY26E), “targets,” “guidance,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “pla ns, ” “potential,” “predicts,” “prospects,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms, although not all forward ‐looking statements contain these id entifying words. Forward -looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, p erformance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward -looking statements. Additionally, these forw ard -looking statements, particularly our guidance, involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions based on information available to us as of July 22, 2026, including those related to our future financial performance, global economic conditions and customer demand for and acceptance of existing, new and improved products and services, including products that incorporate A I technology. Many of these assumptions relate to matters that are beyond our control and changing rapidly, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in the value of foreign currenc ies relative to the U.S. Dollar; fluctuations in interest rates; global macroeconomic and political conditions including changes in government spending and operating status, tariffs, inflation and arm ed conflicts; our ability to consummate and realize the benefits of any strategic transactions or acquisitions; and fluctuations and volatility in our stock price. If any such risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our results could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the forward -looking statements we make. Further inf ormation on these and other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual R epo rt on Form 10 -K filed for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. We cannot guarantee that we will achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward -looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward -looking statements. Forward -looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this presentation. We under take no obligation, and do not intend, to update these forward -looking statements, to review or confirm analysts’ expectations, or to provide interim reports or updates on the progres s of the current financial quarter. This presentation includes certain non ‐GAAP financial measures and the corresponding growth rates as defined by SEC rules. Fo r additional information, see the slide titled “Statement Regarding Use of Non -GAAP Financial Measures.” Terms such as Remaining Performance Obligations (“RPO”), Current Remaining Performance Obligations (“cRPO”) and Renewal Rate sha ll have the meanings set forth in our filings with the SEC.

We report non -GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We adjust revenues and related growth rates (“revenues”), and current remaining performance obligations (“cRPO”) and remainin g p erformance obligations (”RPO”) and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of fo reign currency rate fluctuations, and for revenues only, any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative period. To exclude the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, current period revenues results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars are converted into U.S. Dollars at the a verage exchange rates in effect for the comparison period, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect for the current period. Guidance for revenues related growth rates is derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period, rather than the exchange rates for the guidance period, adjusted for any foreign currency hedging effects. We believe the presentation of revenues and corresponding growth rates adjusted for constant currency by excluding effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gai ns or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts facilitates the comparison of revenues year -over -year. Current period cRPO and RPO results and related growth rates for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars are converted into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period rather than the actual end of the period exchange rates in effect during the current period. Guidance for cRPO growth rates is derived by applying the end of period exchange rates in effect during the compariso n p eriod rather than the exchange rates in effect during the guidance period. We believe the presentation of cRPO and RPO and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency faci litates the comparison of cRPO and RPO year -over - year, respectively. Our non -GAAP presentation of gross profit, income from operations, and net income measures exclude certain non -cash or non -recur ring items, including stock -based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, legal settlements, impairment of assets, severance costs, contract terminatio n c osts, business combination and other related costs including compensation expense, gains and losses on strategic investments, net, income tax effects and adjustments, and the inc ome tax benefit from the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. We believe these adjustments provide useful supplemental information to investors and facil itates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities plus cash outflows for legal settlements and business com bination and other related costs including compensation expense, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow a s a percentage of total revenues. We believe information regarding free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors because it is an indi cat or of the strength and performance of our business operations. Our presentation of non -GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non -GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully u nderstand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this presentation for the reconciliation of GAAP and non -GAAP results. Statement Regarding Use of Non -GAAP Financial Measures

Q2 -26 Financial Highlights (1) Currency impact on subscription revenue growth rates are derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period, excluding any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative periods. Currency impact on cRPO and RPO growth rates are derived by applying the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period rather than the actual end of period exchange rates in effect during the current period. (2) The non-GAAP growth rates for subscription revenues are adjusted for constant currency by excluding effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts, and cRPO and RPO are adjusted only for constant currency. See slides 12-13 for additional discussion of non-GAAP subscription revenues and their corresponding growth rates. See slide 14 for additional discussion of non-GAAP cRPO and RPO and their corresponding growth rates. (3) This financial metric and its corresponding growth rate, if applicable, are calculated on a non-GAAP basis. See appendix for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures. Note: Numbers rounded for presentation purposes.

Slide 8 — 2026 Guidance Assumptions
8 © 2025 ServiceNow, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 8 8 © 202 6 ServiceNow, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Our guidance includes GAAP and non -GAAP financial measures. The non -GAAP growth rates for subscription revenues are adjusted for constant currency by excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts, and the non -GAAP growth rates for cRPO are adjusted only for constant currency to provide better visibility into the underlying business. Since March 31, 2026, ServiceNow has seen an incremental strengthening of the U.S. dollar resulting in foreign exchange ("FX") headwinds. The total FX impact is estimated to be an approximately $35 million year -over -year headwind for Q3 2026 cRPO. Q2 2026 subscription revenues exceeded the high end of our guidance range by 150 basis points, driven by a combination of net new ACV outperformance and on -premise revenue mix coming in ahead of expectations. This higher mix is primarily attributable to strong U.S. Federal demand, which accelerated some on -premise subscription revenues from Q3 2026 into Q2 2026. We are raising our FY 2026 subscription revenues guidance to reflect the net new ACV strength. Our FY 2026 gross margin guidance reflects more customers utilizing our hyperscaler partnerships and an acceleration of customer AI adoption. 2026 Guidance Assumptions
