New Addition to the Board of Directors

The Company announced that Miyuki Suzuki will be joining Twilio’s Board of Directors. Miyuki brings more than four decades of global technology leadership and board member experience in the B2B and B2C segments, extensive knowledge of the APAC market which is a key growth area for Twilio and expertise across telecommunications, hosting and managed services, networking and collaboration and cyber-security. Miyuki is joining the Twilio Board at a critical time in the company’s growth as it doubles down on software sales growth, operating leverage and continued international expansion.

Outlook

Twilio is initiating guidance for the third quarter ending September 30, 2022.

1) Organic revenue growth guidance excludes all revenue from Zipwhip and all other acquisitions that closed after July 1, 2021.
(2) Includes an estimated $35 million non-cash accrual for the adoption of a new sabbatical program for tenured employees. In the quarters subsequent to the adoption, the impact from this program is not expected to be significant to our results of operations.
