Third Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Outlook

The Company provides the financial guidance below based on current market conditions and expectations and it is subject to various important cautionary factors described below. Guidance includes the impact from macroeconomic conditions and expected foreign exchange headwinds versus the prior year comparable periods.

Based on information available as of July 30, 2024, guidance for the third quarter 2024 is as follows:

Third Quarter 2024 Ending September 30, 2024:

• GAAP Total Revenues are expected to be in the range of $412 million to $428 million, representing approximately 2.8% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.
• Subscription ARR is expected to be in the range of $1.199 billion to $1.219 billion, representing approximately 12.2% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.
• Cloud Subscription ARR is expected to be in the range of $738 million to $748 million, representing approximately 35.2% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.
• Non-GAAP Operating Income is expected to be in the range of $139 million to $151 million, representing approximately 13.2% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.

Based on information available as of July 30, 2024, guidance for the full-year 2024 is as follows:

Full-Year 2024 Ending December 31, 2024:

• Updating GAAP Total Revenues from $1.685 billion to $1.705 billion to a range of $1.660 billion to $1.680 billion, representing approximately 4.7% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. This reduction is driven primarily by three factors. First, as a direct result of our strategy to shift more of our customers’ implementation and support work to our professional service partners, we now expect professional service revenues will be lower. Second, due to the lower average duration of self-managed subscription renewals, we now expect lower upfront recognized self-managed subscription revenue per ASC 606 accounting standards. Third, due to the recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, Pound, and Yen, we now expect increased FX-related revenue headwinds of approximately $4 million compared to previous assumptions.
• Reaffirming Total ARR is expected to be in the range of $1.718 billion to $1.772 billion, representing approximately 7.3% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.
• Raising Subscription ARR from $1.261 billion to $1.295 billion to a range of $1.265 billion to $1.299 billion, representing approximately 13.2% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.
• Raising Cloud Subscription ARR from $826 million to $840 million to a range of $829 million to $843 million, representing approximately 35.5% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.
• Raising Non-GAAP Operating Income from $533 million to $553 million to a range of $538 million to $558 million, representing approximately 18.5% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.
• Raising Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow (after-tax) from $535 million to $555 million to a range of $545 million to $565 million, representing approximately 23.0% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.

The Company is assuming constant FX rates for the year based on the rates at the start of the planning period. For reference purposes, the assumed FX rates for our top four currencies in full-year 2024 are as follows:

Using the foreign exchange rate assumptions noted above, the Company has incorporated the following FX impacts into 2024 guidance:

In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing third quarter 2024 Total ARR for modeling purposes. Total ARR is expected to be in the range of $1.660 billion to $1.690 billion, representing approximately 6.3% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.

In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing third quarter and full-year 2024 cash paid for interest estimates for modeling purposes. For the third quarter 2024, we estimate cash paid for interest to be approximately $36 million. For the full-year 2024, we estimate cash paid for interest to be approximately $146 million, using forward rates based on 1-month SOFR and a credit spread of 225 basis points.

In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing a third quarter and full-year 2024 weighted-average number of basic and diluted share estimates for modeling purposes. For the third quarter 2024, we expect basic weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 304 million shares and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 312 million shares. For the full-year 2024, we expect basic weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 302 million shares and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 313 million shares.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow after-tax guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort, as certain items cannot be reasonably predicted because of their high variability, complexity, and low visibility. In particular, the measures and effects of our stock-based compensation expense specific to our equity compensation awards and employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions are directly impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions and unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price, which we expect to have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics

We review several operating and financial metrics, including the following unaudited non-GAAP financial measures and key business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Starting the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, we adjusted certain of our non-GAAP metrics for employer payroll tax expense related to equity incentive plans, as the amount of employer payroll tax expense is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and does not correlate to the operation of our business. The stock-based compensation related employer tax-related expense for comparative periods were immaterial and are not reflected in the prior period balances.

Non-GAAP Income from Operations and Non-GAAP Net Income exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions starting Q2 2024, amortization of acquired intangibles, equity compensation related payments, expenses associated with acquisitions, sponsor-related costs and expenses associated with restructuring efforts, and are adjusted for income tax effects. We believe the presentation of operating results that exclude these non-cash or non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss) as adjusted for income tax benefit (expense), interest income, interest expense, debt refinancing costs, other income (expense) net, stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions starting Q2 2024, amortization of intangibles, restructuring, expenses associated with acquisitions, sponsor-related costs and depreciation. We believe adjusted EBITDA is an important metric for understanding our business to assess our relative profitability adjusted for balance sheet debt levels.

Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow (after-tax) represents operating cash flow less purchases of property and equipment and is adjusted for interest payments, equity compensation payments, sponsor-related costs, expenses associated with acquisitions and restructuring costs (including payments for impaired leases). We believe this measure provides useful supplemental information to investors because it is an indicator of our liquidity over the long term needed to maintain and grow our core business operations. We also provide actual and forecast cash interest expense to aid in the calculation of adjusted free cash flow (after-tax).

Key Business Metrics

Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR") represents the expected annual billing amounts from all active maintenance and subscription agreements. ARR is calculated based on the contract Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. MRR is calculated based on the accounting adjusted total contract value divided by the number of months of the agreement based on the start and end dates of each contracted line item. The aggregate ARR calculated at the end of each reported period represents the value of all contracts that are active as of the end of the period, including those contracts that have expired but are still under negotiation for renewal. We typically allow for a grace period of up to 6 months past the original contract expiration quarter during which we engage in the renewal process before we report the contract as lost/inactive. This grace-period ARR amount has been less than 2% of the reported ARR in each period presented. If there is an actual cancellation of an ARR contract, we remove that ARR value at that time. We believe ARR is an important metric for understanding our business since it tracks the annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all of our recurring contracts, irrespective of whether it is a maintenance contract on a perpetual license, a ratable cloud contract, or a self-managed term-based subscription license. ARR should be viewed independently of total revenue and deferred revenue related to our software and services contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items.

Cloud Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue ("Cloud Subscription ARR") represents the portion of ARR that is attributable to our hosted cloud contracts. We believe that Cloud Subscription ARR is a helpful metric for understanding our business since it represents the approximate annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all of our recurring Cloud contracts. Cloud Subscription ARR is a subset of our overall Subscription ARR, and by providing this breakdown of Cloud Subscription ARR, it provides visibility on the size and growth rate of our Cloud Subscription ARR within our overall Subscription ARR. Cloud Subscription ARR should be viewed independently of subscription revenue and deferred revenue related to our subscription contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items.

Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue ("Subscription ARR") represents the portion of ARR only attributable to our subscription contracts. Subscription ARR includes Cloud Subscription ARR and self-managed Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue. We believe that Subscription ARR is a helpful metric for understanding our business since it represents the approximate annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all of our recurring subscription contracts. Subscription ARR excludes maintenance contracts on our perpetual licenses. Subscription ARR should be viewed independently of subscription revenue and deferred revenue related to our subscription contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items.

Maintenance Annual Recurring Revenue ("Maintenance ARR") represents the portion of ARR only attributable to our maintenance contracts. We believe that Maintenance ARR is a helpful metric for understanding our business since it represents the approximate annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all our maintenance contracts. Maintenance ARR includes maintenance contracts supporting our perpetual licenses. Maintenance ARR should be viewed independently of maintenance revenue and deferred revenue related to our maintenance contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. As we continue to shift our focus from perpetual to cloud, we expect Maintenance ARR will decrease in future quarters.

Cloud Subscription Net Retention Rate ("Cloud Subscription NRR") compares the contract value for Cloud Subscription ARR from the same set of customers at the end of a period compared to the prior year. We treat divisions, segments or subsidiaries inside companies with us as separate customers when defining the End-user level. We treat divisions, segments, or subsidiaries of a company as one customer when defining the Global Parent level. Global Parent customers are determined using Dun & Bradstreet GDUNS identifiers. To calculate our Cloud Subscription NRR for a particular period, we first establish the Cloud Subscription ARR value at the end of the prior year period. We subsequently measure the Cloud Subscription ARR value at the end of the current period from the same cohort of customers. Cloud Subscription NRR is then calculated by dividing the aggregate Cloud Subscription ARR in the current period by the prior year period. An increase in the Cloud Subscription NRR occurs as a result of price increases on existing contracts, higher consumption of existing products, and sales of additional new subscription products to existing customers exceeding losses from subscription contracts due to price decreases, usage decreases and cancellations. We believe Cloud Subscription NRR is an important metric for understanding our business since it measures the rate at which we are able to sell additional products into our cloud subscription customer base.

Subscription Net Retention Rate ("Subscription Net Retention" NRR) compares the contract value for Subscription ARR from the same set of customers at the end of a period compared to the prior year. We treat divisions, segments, or subsidiaries inside companies as separate customers when defining the End-user level. To calculate our Subscription NRR for a particular period, we first establish the Subscription ARR value at the end of the prior-year period. We subsequently measure the Subscription ARR value at the end of the current period from the same cohort of customers. The net retention rate is then calculated by dividing the aggregate Subscription ARR in the current period by the prior-year period. An increase in the Subscription NRR occurs as a result of price increases on existing contracts, higher consumption of existing products, and sales of additional new subscription products to existing customers exceeding losses from subscription contracts due to price decreases, usage decreases and cancellations. Our Cloud Subscription NRR continues to outpace total Subscription NRR as self-managed subscription customers are moving to cloud offerings which is net neutral to Subscription NRR but will be additive to Cloud Subscription NRR for the same cohort of customers.

Supplemental Information

Subscription revenue disaggregation:

• Cloud subscription revenue represents revenues from cloud subscription offerings, which deliver applications and infrastructure technologies via cloud-based deployment models for which we develop functionality, provide unspecified updates and enhancements, host, manage, upgrade, and support, and that customers access by entering into a subscription agreement with us for a stated period.
• Self-managed subscription license revenue represents revenues from customers and partners contracted to use our self-managed software during a subscription term.
• Self-managed subscription support and other revenue represents revenues generated primarily through the sale of license support contracts sold together with the self-managed subscription license purchased by the customer. Self-managed subscription license support contracts provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period and include internet access to technical content, as well as internet and telephone access to technical support personnel.
