Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nutanix, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 19, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. 88 Table of Contents Revenue Recognition — Refer to Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company offers customers an enterprise cloud platform, which can be pre-installed on hardware or delivered separately, as well as related support subscriptions and professional services. Product revenue was $1.1 billion and support, entitlements and other services was $1.1 billion for the year ended July 31, 2024. Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining revenue recognition for the Company’s customer contracts, and includes the following: • Determination of whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the Company’s customer contracts, which leads to whether they should be accounted for as individual or combined performance obligations. • Determination of standalone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation and for products and services that are not sold separately. We identified revenue recognition as a critical audit matter because of these significant judgments required by management. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate whether revenue was recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition for the Company’s customer contracts included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls related to the identification of distinct performance obligations and determination of the standalone selling prices • We evaluated management’s significant accounting policies related to revenue recognition for reasonableness • We selected a sample of recorded revenue transactions and performed the following procedures: – Obtaining and reading customer source documents and the contract for each selection, including master agreements and related amendments to evaluate if relevant contractual terms have been appropriately considered by management. – Evaluating management’s application of their accounting policy and tested revenue recognition for specific performance obligations by comparing management’s conclusions to the underlying contract, master agreement, and any related amendments, if applicable. – Testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculations of revenue recognized in the financial statements • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s estimate of standalone selling prices for products and services that are not sold separately by performing the following: – Assessing the appropriateness of the Company’s methodology and mathematical accuracy of the determined standalone selling prices 89 Table of Contents – Testing the completeness and accuracy of the source data utilized in management’s calculations /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP San Jose, California September 19, 2024 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2013. 90 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC.

OVER VIEW AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Description of Business Nutanix, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware in September 2009. Nutanix, Inc. is headquartered in San Jose, California, and together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, "we," "us," "our," or "Nutanix"), has operations throughout North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. We are a global leader in cloud software, offering organizations a single platform for running applications and managing data, anywhere. Our vision is to make hybrid multicloud deployments simple and free customers to focus on achieving their business outcomes. Our mission is to delight customers with an open hybrid multicloud platform with rich data services to run and manage any application, anywhere. Our Nutanix Cloud Platform is designed to enable organizations to build a hybrid multicloud infrastructure, providing a consistent cloud operating model with a single platform for running applications and managing data in core data centers, at the edge, and in public clouds, all while supporting a variety of hypervisors and container platforms. Nutanix Cloud Platform supports a wide variety of workloads with varied compute, storage, and network requirements, including business-critical applications, data platforms (including SQL and NoSQL databases and business intelligence applications), general-purpose workloads (including system infrastructure, networking, and security), and end-user computing and virtual desktop infrastructure services, as well as enterprise artificial intelligence ("AI") workloads (including machine learning and generative AI workloads) and cloud native applications (including modern, containerized applications). Our business is organized into a single operating and reportable segment. Our subscription-based business model provides our customers with the flexibility to choose their preferred license levels and durations based on their specific business needs. A subscription-based business model means one in which our products, including associated support and entitlement arrangements, are sold with a defined duration. Our solutions are primarily sold through channel partners and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") (collectively, "Partners") and delivered directly to our end customers. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Nutanix, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 96 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such management estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the best estimate of selling prices for products and related support; useful lives and recoverability of intangible assets and property and equipment; allowance for credit losses; determination of fair value of stock-based awards; accounting for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions; purchase commitment liabilities to our contract manufacturers; sales commissions expense and the period of benefit for deferred commissions; whether an arrangement is or contains a lease; the incremental borrowing rate to measure the present value of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; the inputs used to determine the fair value of the contingent liability associated with the conversion feature of the previously outstanding 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"); and contingencies and litigation. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions. Concentration of Risk Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We invest only in high-quality credit instruments and maintain our cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments in fixed income securities. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold our investments are financially sound and, accordingly, are subject to minimal credit risk. Our deposits are with multiple institutions, however such deposits may exceed federally insured limits. We provide credit, in the normal course of business, to a number of companies and perform credit evaluations of our customers. Concentration of Revenue and Accounts Receivable — We sell our products primarily through our Partners and occasionally directly to end customers. For the fiscal years ended July 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 , no end customer accounted for more than 10 % of total revenue or accounts receivable. For each significant Partner, revenue as a percentage of total revenue and accounts receivable as a percentage of total accounts receivable, net are as follows: Revenue Accounts Receivable as of Fiscal Year Ended July 31, July 31, 2023 July 31, 2024 Partners 2022 2023 2024 Partner A (1) (1) (1) (1) 16 % Partner B 33 % 32 % 31 % 17 % 12 % Partner C 15 % 16 % 16 % 19 % 10 % Partner D (1) (1) (1) 11 % (1) Partner E 11 % 10 % 11 % (1) (1) (1) Less than 10% 97 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments We classify all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents and all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months as marketable securities. We determine the appropriate classification of our marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date. We classify and account for our marketable securities as available-for-sale securities. We classify our marketable securities with stated maturities greater than twelve months as short-term investments due to our intent and ability to use these securities to support our current operations. Our marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). We periodically review whether our securities may be other-than-temporarily impaired, including whether or not (i) we have the intent to sell the security or (ii) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If one of these factors is met, we will record an impairment loss associated with our impaired investment. The impairment loss will be recorded as a write-down of investments in our consolidated balance sheets and a realized loss within other expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Fair Value Measurement We define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which to transact and the market-based risk. We apply fair value accounting for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in our consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the previously outstanding 0 % convertible senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") was determined based on the closing trading price per $ 100 of the 2023 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period. The fair value of the previously outstanding 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2026 was determined based on a binomial model. The fair value of the outstanding 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes") is determined based on the closing trading price per $ 100 of the 2027 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period. 98 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Convertible Senior Notes Our convertible senior notes, including any embedded conversion features, are accounted for under the traditional convertible debt accounting model and are treated as a liability, net of unamortized issuance costs. The carrying amount of the liability is classified as a current liability if we have committed to settle with current assets; otherwise, it is classified as a long-term liability, as we retain the option to settle conversion requests in shares of our Class A common stock. The embedded conversion features are not remeasured as long as they do not meet the separation requirement of a derivative; otherwise, they are classified as derivative instruments and accounted for as such. Issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the notes. In accounting for a holder’s exercise in accordance with a note’s original conversion terms of a conversion option for which the carrying amount has previously been reclassified to equity, any unamortized discount remaining at the date of conversion is first recognized as interest, and then the remaining carrying amount of the converted notes is reduced by the cash transferred and then recognized in equity to reflect the shares issued, such that no gain or loss is recognized. In accounting for extinguishments of the notes, the reacquisition price of the extinguished notes is compared to the carrying amount of the respective extinguished notes and a gain or loss is recorded in other expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations. Derivative Liability We evaluate convertible notes or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting guidance could result in the fair value of a financial instrument being classified as a derivative instrument and recorded at fair market value at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded on our consolidated statements of operations as other income or other expense. Once the criteria for conversion is fixed, the derivative instrument is marked to fair value and reclassified to equity. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for credit losses. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. We generally do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We assess credit losses on accounts receivable by taking into consideration past collection experience, the credit quality of the customer, the age of the receivable balance, current and future economic conditions, and forecasts that may affect the collectibility of the reported amount. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filings or substantial downgrading of credit ratings), we record an allowance for credit losses in order to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, we record an allowance for credit losses based on the length of time the receivable is past due and our historical experience of collections and write-offs. 99 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The changes in the allowance for credit losses are as follows: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 (in thousands) Allowance for credit losses—beginning balance $ 892 $ 644 $ 733 Charged to allowance for credit losses 200 212 830 Recoveries ( 80 ) ( 123 ) — Write-offs ( 368 ) — ( 791 ) Allowance for credit losses—ending balance $ 644 $ 733 $ 772 Property and Equipment Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We include the cost to acquire demonstration units and the related accumulated depreciation in property and equipment as such units are generally not available for sale. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leases We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by evaluating various factors, including whether a vendor’s right to substitute an identified asset is substantive. Lease classification is determined at the lease commencement date when the leased assets are made available for our use. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities—current and operating lease liabilities—non-current in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities—non-current in our consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments consist primarily of fixed payments under the arrangement, less any lease incentives, such as rent holidays. Variable lease payments not dependent on an index or a rate are expensed as incurred and are not included within the ROU asset and lease liability calculation. Variable lease payments primarily include reimbursements of costs incurred by lessors for common area maintenance, property taxes and utilities. We use an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. In determining the appropriate IBR, we consider information including, but not limited to, our credit rating, the lease term and the currency in which the arrangement is denominated. For leases which commenced prior to our adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases ("ASC 842"), we used the IBR as of August 1, 2019. Our lease terms may include renewal options, which are not included in the lease terms for calculating our lease liability, as we are not reasonably certain that we will exercise these renewal options at the time of the lease commencement. Lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis as operating expenses within our consolidated statements of operations. We present lease payments within cash flows from operations within our consolidated statements of cash flows. For our operating leases, we account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Additionally, we do not record leases on our consolidated balance sheet that have a lease term of 12 months or less at the lease commencement date. 100 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination or an acquisition that are not individually identified and separately recorded. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets of businesses acquired in a business combination is recognized as goodwill. Intangible assets consist of identifiable intangible assets, including developed technology, customer relationships and trade names, resulting from business combinations. Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at fair value, net of accumulated amortization. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense is included as a component of cost of product revenue and sales and marketing expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Amounts included in sales and marketing expense relate to customer relationships and trade names. Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually, as of May 1 of each year. Such goodwill and other intangible assets may also be tested for impairment between annual tests in the presence of impairment indicators such as, but not limited to: (i) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; (ii) a substantial decline in our market capitalization; (iii) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (iv) unanticipated competition; (v) loss of key personnel; (vi) a more likely-than-not expectation of the sale or disposal of a reporting unit or a significant portion thereof; (vii) a realignment of our resources or restructuring of our existing businesses in response to changes to industry and market conditions; (viii) testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; or (ix) a higher discount rate used in the impairment analysis as impacted by an increase in interest rates. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. We operate under one reporting unit and for our annual goodwill impairment test, we determine the fair value of our reporting unit based on our enterprise value. We may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, after assessing the qualitative factors, we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment analysis will be performed. We compare the fair value of our reporting unit with its carrying amount and if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized. Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets subject to depreciation and amortization, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Among the factors and circumstances we consider in determining recoverability are: (i) a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset; (ii) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition; (iii) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (iv) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition; and (v) current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There have been no indicators of impairment of goodwill, intangible assets or other long-lived assets and we did not record any material impairment losses during fiscal 2022, 2023 or 2024 . 101 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Revenue Recognition The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This principle is achieved by applying the following five-step approach: • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer — A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract — Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, we apply judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. • Determination of the transaction price — The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract — If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price ("SSP"). We determine SSP based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the SSP, taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. • Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied — We satisfy performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied with the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer. For additional details on revenue recognition, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Contracts with multiple performance obligations — The majority of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative SSP basis. For deliverables that we routinely sell separately, such as software entitlement and support subscriptions on our core offerings, we determine SSP by evaluating the standalone sales over the trailing 12 months. For those that are not sold routinely, we determine SSP based on our overall pricing trends and objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of our contracts, the products sold and geographic locations. 102 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Contract balances — The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for credit losses. A receivable is recognized in the period in which we deliver goods or provide services, or when our right to consideration is unconditional. In situations where revenue recognition occurs before invoicing, an unbilled receivable is created, which represents a contract asset. The balance of unbilled accounts receivable, included in accounts receivable, net on our consolidated balance sheets, was $ 16.3 million and $ 41.1 million as of July 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Our customers are typically invoiced upfront, including invoices for multi-year subscriptions, with payment terms of 30-45 days. We assess credit losses on accounts receivable by taking into consideration past collection experience, the credit quality of the customer, the age of the receivable balance, current and future economic conditions, and forecasts that may affect the collectability of the reported amount. The balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, as of July 31, 2023 and 2024 is presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Costs to obtain and fulfill a contract — We capitalize commissions paid to sales personnel and the related payroll taxes when customer contracts are signed. These costs are recorded as deferred commissions in our consolidated balance sheets, current and non-current. We determine whether costs should be deferred based on our sales compensation plans if the commissions are incremental and would not have been incurred absent the execution of the customer contract. Commissions paid upon the initial acquisition of a contract are recognized over the estimated period of benefit, which may exceed the term of the initial contract if the commissions expected to be paid upon renewal are not commensurate with that of the initial contract. Accordingly, deferred costs are recognized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of revenue recognition allocated to each performance obligation over the entire period of benefit and included in sales and marketing expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We determine the estimated period of benefit by evaluating the expected renewals of customer contracts, the duration of relationships with our customers, customer retention data, our technology development lifecycle, and other factors. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. Taxes assessed by a government authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue transactions between us and our customers are presented on a net basis in our consolidated statements of operations. Deferred revenue — Deferred revenue primarily consists of amounts that have been invoiced but not yet recognized as revenue and primarily pertains to software entitlement and support subscriptions and professional services. The current portion of deferred revenue represents the amounts that are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of the consolidated balance sheet date. Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue consists of cost of product revenue and cost of support, entitlements and other services revenue. Personnel costs associated with our operations and global customer support organizations consist of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation. Allocated costs consist of certain facilities, depreciation and amortization, recruiting, and information technology costs, allocated based on headcount. 103 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Warranties We generally provide a one-year warranty on hardware sold by us and a 90-day warranty on software licenses. The hardware warranty provides for parts replacement for defective components and the software warranty provides for bug fixes. With respect to the hardware warranty obligation, we have a warranty agreement with our contract manufacturers under which the OEMs are generally required to replace defective hardware within three years of shipment. Furthermore, our post-contract customer support ("PCS") agreements provide for the same parts replacement that customers are entitled to under the warranty program, except that replacement parts are delivered according to targeted response times to minimize disruption to the customers’ critical business applications. Substantially all customers purchase PCS agreements. Given the warranty agreement with our OEMs and considering that substantially all products are sold together with PCS agreements, we generally have very limited exposure related to warranty costs and therefore no warranty reserve has been recognized. Research and Development Our research and development expense consists primarily of product development personnel costs, including salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation and allocated facilities, IT, and recruiting costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Currently, we expense the software development costs incurred in the research and development of new products and enhancements to existing products as incurred, as from the inception of the product development, our software products are primarily intended to be marketed and sold to customers on-premises, either standalone and/or with other product offerings. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense is measured based on the grant date fair value of share-based awards. The fair value of the purchase rights under our 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("2016 ESPP") is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton ("Black-Scholes") option pricing model, which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the awards, the expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield. The fair value of restricted stock units ("RSUs") is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of awards with a market-based condition is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation, which requires the use of various assumptions, including the stock price volatility and risk-free interest rate as of the valuation date corresponding to the length of time remaining in the performance period and expected dividend yield. We grant stock awards with service conditions only and with both service and performance or market-based conditions. We recognize stock-based compensation expense for employee stock awards with a service condition only using the straight-line method over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. We use the graded vesting attribution method to recognize stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock awards that contain both service and performance or market-based conditions. The fair value of the 2016 ESPP purchase rights is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the offering period. We account for forfeitures of all share-based awards when they occur. 104 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Foreign Currency The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured at the average exchange rate in effect during the reporting period. At the end of each reporting period all monetary assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries are remeasured at the current U.S. dollar exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Remeasurement gains and losses are included within other expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations. During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 , we recognized foreign currency losses of $ 3.2 million, $ 1.6 million and $ 4.3 million, respectively. To date, we have not undertaken any hedging transactions related to foreign currency exposure, but we may do so in the future if our exposure to foreign currency should become more significant. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to managing our risk relating to fluctuations in currency rates. Segments Our chief operating decision maker is a group which is comprised of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. This group allocates resources and assesses financial performance based upon discrete financial information at the consolidated level. Accordingly, we have determined that we operate as a single operating and reportable segment. Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance on amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. We record a liability for uncertain tax positions if it is not more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expense as incurred in our consolidated statements of operations. During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 , advertising expense was $ 13.7 million, $ 11.6 million and $ 14.7 million, respectively. Frame Divestiture In May 2023, we sold our Frame Desktop-as-a-Service business. As consideration for the sale, the buyer paid $ 7.0 million in cash, adjusted by increases for the closing cash balance of the Frame business and the amount by which the closing working capital exceeded the working capital target and reductions for closing expenses, the amount by which the closing working capital target exceeded the working capital, and any severance expenses associated with Frame employees who were terminated at or following the close of the transaction at the direction of the buyer, and a $ 5.0 million interest-bearing convertible note, which had a fair value of $ 5.7 million as of the closing date of the transaction. The fair value of all consideration received exceeded the carrying amount of the Frame business upon closing, resulting in a gain of $ 11.0 million, which is included within other expense, net in our consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023. 105 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued accounting standards update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides for improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our disclosures. NOTE 2. REVENUE, DEFERRED REVENUE AND DEFERRED COMMISSIONS Disaggregation of Revenue and Revenue Recognition Nutanix Cloud Platform can be deployed in core data centers, at the edge, or in public clouds, running on a variety of qualified hardware platforms (including out Nutanix-branded NX hardware line), in popular public cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services ("AWS") and Microsoft Azure through Nutanix Cloud Clusters, or, in the case of our cloud-based software and software-as-a-service ("SaaS") offerings, via hosted service. Our subscription term-based licenses are sold separately, or can also be sold alongside configured-to-order servers. Our subscription term-based licenses typically have durations ranging from one to five years . Our cloud-based SaaS subscriptions generally have durations extending up to five years. The following table depicts the disaggregation of revenue by revenue type, consistent with how we evaluate our financial performance: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 (in thousands) Subscription $ 1,433,773 $ 1,730,848 $ 2,016,776 Professional services 91,744 91,841 100,852 Other non-subscription product (1) 55,279 40,206 31,188 Total revenue $ 1,580,796 $ 1,862,895 $ 2,148,816 (1) Prior to fiscal 2024, these amounts were presented as separate line items, Non-portable software and Hardware, as described below. Prior period amounts have been updated to conform to the current period presentation. Subscription revenue — Subscription revenue includes any performance obligation which has a defined term and is generated from the sales of software entitlement and support subscriptions, subscription software licenses and cloud-based software-as-a-service offerings. • Ratable — We recognize revenue from software entitlement and support subscriptions and SaaS offerings ratably over the contractual service period, the substantial majority of which relate to software entitlement and support subscriptions. These offerings represented approximately $ 770.4 million, $ 905.8 million and $ 1.0 billion of our subscription revenue for fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. • Upfront — Revenue from our subscription software licenses is generally recognized upfront upon transfer of control to the customer, which happens when we make the software available to the customer. These subscription software licenses represented approximately $ 663.4 million, $ 825.0 million and $ 987.8 million of our subscription revenue for fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Professional services revenue — We also sell professional services with our products. We recognize revenue related to professional services as they are performed. 106 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Other non-subscription product revenue — Other non-subscription product revenue includes approximately $ 49.7 million, $ 37.4 million and $ 27.9 million of non-portable software revenue for fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024 , respectively, and approximately $ 5.6 million, $ 2.8 million and $ 3.3 million of hardware revenue for fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. • Non-portable software revenue — Non-portable software revenue includes sales of our platform when delivered on a configured-to-order server by us or one of our OEM partners. The software licenses associated with these sales are typically non-portable and can be used over the life of the server on which the software is delivered. Revenue from our non-portable software products is generally recognized upon transfer of control to the customer. • Hardware revenue — In the infrequent transactions where the hardware platform is purchased directly from Nutanix, we consider ourselves to be the principal in the transaction and we record revenue and costs of goods sold on a gross basis. We consider the amount allocated to hardware revenue to be equivalent to the cost of the hardware procured. Hardware revenue is generally recognized upon transfer of control to the customer. Significant changes in the balance of deferred revenue (contract liability) and deferred commissions (contract asset) for the periods presented are as follows: Deferred Revenue Deferred Commissions (in thousands) Balance as of July 31, 2022 $ 1,445,538 $ 367,590 Additions (1) 2,012,389 187,381 Revenue/commissions recognized ( 1,862,895 ) ( 196,980 ) Balance as of July 31, 2023 1,595,032 357,991 Additions (1) 2,426,490 218,876 Revenue/commissions recognized ( 2,148,816 ) ( 218,056 ) Balance as of July 31, 2024 $ 1,872,706 $ 358,811 (1) Includes both billed and unbilled amounts. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023 , we recognized revenue of approximately $ 696.0 million pertaining to amounts deferred as of July 31, 2022. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 , we recognized revenue of approximately $ 771.2 million pertaining to amounts deferred as of July 31, 2023. Many of our contracted but not invoiced performance obligations are subject to cancellation terms. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized ("contracted not recognized"), which includes deferred revenue and non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods and excludes performance obligations that are subject to cancellation terms. Contracted not recognized revenue was approximately $ 2.1 billion as of July 31, 2024 , of which we expect to recognize approximately 52 % over the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter. 107 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs available in the market used to measure fair value as follows: • Level I — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date; • Level II — Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and • Level III — Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Cash equivalents and short-term investments Our money market funds are classified within Level I due to the highly liquid nature of these assets and have unadjusted inputs, quoted prices in active markets for these assets at the measurement date from the financial institution that carries these investment securities. Our investments in available-for-sale debt securities such as commercial paper, corporate bonds and U.S. government securities are classified within Level II. The fair value of these securities is priced by using inputs based on non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments, or pricing models such as discounted cash flow techniques. Convertible note receivable In May 2023, we sold our Frame Desktop-as-a-Service business. As part of the consideration for the sale, we received a $ 5.0 million interest-bearing convertible note. We have elected the fair value option for the convertible note and will record the changes in its fair value at each reporting period. As of July 31, 2024 , the fair value of the convertible note was determined to be approximately $ 5.2 million. We consider this convertible note to be classified within Level III. The fair value is determined by considering the convertible note’s principal and accrued interest, as well as the convertible note’s option to convert into equity securities, using inputs including debt yields, volatility data, and the value of the underlying equity into which the convertible note could be converted. 108 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC.

Financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis for disclosure purposes. The carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments not recorded at fair value are as follows: As of July 31, 2023 As of July 31, 2024 Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value (in thousands) 2026 Notes $ 649,630 $ 1,043,889 $ — $ — 2027 Notes 568,535 497,410 570,073 631,178 Total $ 1,218,165 $ 1,541,299 $ 570,073 $ 631,178 109 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The carrying value of the 2026 Notes as of July 31, 2023 included $ 47.6 million of non-cash interest expense that was added to the principal balance, net of unamortized debt discounts of $ 132.8 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 15.2 million. The carrying value of the 2027 Notes as of July 31, 2023 and 2024 was net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 6.5 million and $ 4.9 million, respectively. The total estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes was based on a binomial model. We considered the fair value of the 2026 Notes to be a Level III valuation, as the 2026 Notes were not publicly traded. The Level III inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes included the conversion rate, risk-free interest rate, discount rate, volatility, and the price of our Class A common stock. The total estimated fair value of the 2027 Notes was determined based on the closing trading price per $ 100 of the 2027 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period. We consider the fair value of the 2027 Notes to be a Level II valuation due to the limited trading activity. NOTE 4. BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS Short-Term Investments The amortized cost of our short-term investments approximates their fair value. Unrealized losses related to our short-term investments are generally due to interest rate fluctuations, as opposed to credit quality. However, we review individual securities that are in an unrealized loss position in order to evaluate whether or not they have experienced or are expected to experience credit losses that would result in a decline in fair value. As of July 31, 2023 and 2024, unrealized gains and losses from our short-term investments were not material and were not the result of a decline in credit quality. As a result, as of July 31, 2023 and 2024, we did not record any credit losses for these investments. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our investments in marketable debt securities by their contractual maturity dates: As of July 31, 2024 (in thousands) Due within one year $ 209,076 Due in one to three years 129,996 Total $ 339,072 Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets consists of the following: As of July 31, 2023 2024 (in thousands) Prepaid operating expenses $ 84,998 $ 62,815 VAT receivables 5,954 8,017 Other current assets 56,135 26,475 Total prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 147,087 $ 97,307 The decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets from July 31, 2023 to July 31, 2024 was due primarily to the release of the insurance receivable and the settlement payment related to the February 2023 110 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC.

For additional details on legal proceedings, refer to Note 7. In addition, we released the software usage liability related to the completed Audit Committee investigation, as we settled with the vendor. NOTE 5. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES 2023 Notes In January 2018, we issued the 2023 Notes with a 0 % interest rate for an aggregate principal amount of $ 575.0 million, due in 2023, in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule144A under the Securities Act. On September 22, 2021, we consummated privately negotiated exchanges with certain holders of the outstanding 2023 Notes, pursuant to which such holders exchanged approximately $ 416.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes for $ 477.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes. We also entered into privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2023 Notes pursuant to which we repurchased approximately $ 12.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes for cash. Following the closing of these exchanges and repurchases, approximately $ 145.7 million in aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes remained outstanding with terms unchanged. In January 2023, we settled the 2023 Notes in full at maturity with a cash payment of $ 145.7 million. The following table sets forth the total interest expense recognized related to the 2023 Notes: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 (in thousands) Interest expense related to amortization of debt issuance costs 844 248 — 113 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Note Hedges and Warrants Concurrently with the offering of the 2023 Notes in January 2018, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with certain bank counterparties, whereby we have the initial option to purchase a total of approximately 11.8 million shares of our Class A common stock at a conversion price of approximately $ 48.85 per share, subject to adjustment for certain specified events. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $ 143.2 million. In addition, we sold warrants to certain bank counterparties, whereby the holders of the warrants have the initial option to purchase a total of approximately 11.8 million shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $ 73.46 per share, subject to adjustment for certain specified events. We received approximately $ 88.0 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. In September 2021, in connection with the exchange and repurchase transactions described above, we terminated portions of the convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions previously entered into with certain financial institutions in connection with the issuance of the 2023 Notes. The net effect of these unwind transactions was a $ 21.5 million cash payment received, consisting of an $ 18.4 million payment for the warrant unwind and the receipt of $ 39.9 million from the hedge unwind. The amounts paid and received as part of the unwind transactions were recorded to additional paid-in capital within the consolidated balance sheet. In January 2023, the convertible note hedges and warrant transactions expired concurrently with the maturity of the 2023 Notes. No settlement is required as the stock has remained below the strike price throughout the unwind settlement averaging period. 2026 Notes In September 2020, we issued $ 750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes to BCPE Nucleon (DE) SPV, LP, an entity affiliated with Bain Capital, LP ("Bain"). The total net proceeds from this offering were approximately $ 723.7 million, after deducting $ 26.3 million of debt issuance costs. The 2026 Notes bore interest at a rate of 2.50 % per annum, with such interest paid in kind ("PIK") on the 2026 Notes held by Bain through an increase in the principal amount of the 2026 Notes, and to be paid in cash on any 2026 Notes transferred to entities that are not affiliated with Bain. Interest on the 2026 Notes accrued from the date of issuance, September 24, 2020, and was added to the principal amount on a semi-annual basis (on March 15 and September 15 of each year). The 2026 Notes were set to mature on September 15, 2026, subject to earlier conversion, redemption or repurchase. In accordance with accounting guidance on embedded conversion features, at issuance, we valued and bifurcated the conversion option associated with the 2026 Notes from the respective host debt instrument, which is treated as a debt discount, and initially recorded the conversion option of $ 230.9 million as a derivative liability in our consolidated balance sheet, with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the 2026 Notes and amortized over the term of the 2026 Notes using the effective interest method. Upon the conversion price of the 2026 Notes becoming fixed, subject to customary anti-dilution and other adjustments, in September 2021, the embedded conversion option for the 2026 Notes no longer required bifurcation because the conversion features were considered indexed to our own equity and met the equity classification conditions. The carrying amount of the derivative liability of $ 698.2 million as of that date was reclassified to additional paid-in capital within our consolidated balance sheet. The remaining debt discount that arose from the original bifurcation was amortized over the term of the 2026 Notes. 114 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) On June 6, 2024, Bain delivered a notice of conversion to convert $ 817.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, representing all of the outstanding principal amount as of that date. Under the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Notes, the conversion was settled by paying the $ 817.6 million principal amount in cash and delivering the conversion spread of approximately 16.9 million shares of our Class A common stock. The cash portion was settled using a portion of our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The 2026 Notes were converted in accordance with its original terms and conditions. Upon conversion, because the carrying amount of the conversion option was previously reclassified to equity, the unamortized discount remaining at the date of conversion was recognized as interest expense. The remaining carrying amount of the 2026 Notes was reduced by the cash transferred and then recognized in equity, such that no gain or loss was recognized. In addition, the accrued and unpaid interest as of the conversion date was forgiven pursuant to the terms of the indenture and recognized in equity. The 2026 Notes consisted of the following: As of July 31, 2023 2024 (in thousands) Principal amounts: Principal $ 750,000 $ — Non-cash interest expense converted to principal 47,569 — Unamortized debt discount (conversion feature) (1) ( 132,769 ) — Unamortized debt issuance costs (1) ( 15,170 ) — Net carrying amount $ 649,630 $ — (1) Included in our consolidated balance sheets within convertible senior notes, net and amortized over the remaining life of the 2026 Notes using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate was 7.05 % . The following table sets forth the total interest expense recognized related to the 2026 Notes: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 (in thousands) Interest expense related to amortization of debt discount $ 34,180 $ 36,668 $ 35,955 Interest expense related to amortization of debt issuance costs 3,906 4,189 4,107 Non-cash interest expense 19,270 19,757 18,550 Interest expense related to conversion of 2026 Notes attributable to debt discount and issuance costs — — 107,877 Total interest expense $ 57,356 $ 60,614 $ 166,489 Non-cash interest expense was related to the 2.5% PIK interest that we accrued from the issuance of the 2026 Notes through the conversion date and was recognized within other expense, net in our consolidated statement of operations and other liabilities–non-current in our consolidated balance sheet. The accrued PIK interest was converted to the principal balance of the 2026 Notes at each payment date. 115 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2027 Notes In September 2021, we issued $ 575 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.25 % convertible senior notes due 2027 consisting of (i) approximately $ 477.3 million principal amount of 2027 Notes in exchange for approximately $ 416.5 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes (the "Exchange Transactions") and (ii) approximately $ 97.7 million principal amount of 2027 Notes for cash (the "Subscription Transactions"). We did not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange Transactions. The net cash proceeds from the Subscription Transactions were approximately $ 88.4 million after deducting the offering expenses for both the Exchange Transactions and the Subscription Transactions. We used (i) approximately $ 14.7 million of the net cash proceeds from the Subscription Transactions to repurchase approximately $ 12.8 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes and (ii) approximately $ 58.5 million of the net cash proceeds from the Subscription Transactions to repurchase approximately 1.4 million shares of our Class A common stock. The 2027 Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1. The 2027 Notes will mature on October 1, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2027 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at our election. Each $ 1,000 of principal of the 2027 Notes is initially convertible into 17.3192 shares of our Class A common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 57.74 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Holders of these 2027 Notes may convert their 2027 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of the business day immediately preceding July 1, 2027, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter, and only during such fiscal quarter, if the closing price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130 % of the then applicable conversion price for the Notes per share of common stock; (2) during the five business day period after any consecutive five trading day period in which, for each trading day of that period, the trading price per $ 1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes for such trading day was less than 98 % of the product of the closing price of our common stock and the then applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if we call the 2027 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events. Upon conversion of the 2027 Notes, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at our election. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued or unpaid interest. Holders who convert their 2027 Notes in connection with certain corporate events that constitute a "make-whole fundamental change" (as defined in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes) are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. In addition, if we undergo a "fundamental change" (as defined in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes) prior to the maturity date, holders of the 2027 Notes may require us to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their 2027 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the repurchased 2027 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 116 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) In accounting for the exchange of convertible notes, we evaluated whether the transaction should be treated as a modification or extinguishment transaction. The partial exchange of the 2023 Notes and issuance of the 2027 Notes were deemed to have substantially different terms due to the significant difference between the value of the conversion option immediately prior to and after the exchange, and consequently, the 2023 Notes partial exchange was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The $ 64.9 million difference between the total reacquisition price paid and the net carrying amount of the 2023 Notes was recognized as a debt extinguishment loss within other expense, net in our consolidated statement of operations. The 2027 Notes consisted of the following: As of July 31, 2023 2024 (in thousands) Principal amounts: Principal $ 575,000 $ 575,000 Unamortized debt issuance costs (1) ( 6,465 ) ( 4,927 ) Net carrying amount $ 568,535 $ 570,073 (1) Included in our consolidated balance sheets within convertible senior notes, net and amortized over the remaining life of the 2027 Notes using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is 0.52 %. As of July 31, 2024, the remaining life of the 2027 Notes was approximately 3.2 years . The following table sets forth the total interest expense recognized related to the 2027 Notes: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 (in thousands) Contractual interest expense $ 1,229 $ 1,720 $ 1,352 Interest expense related to amortization of debt issuance costs 1,302 1,530 1,538 Total interest expense $ 2,531 $ 3,250 $ 2,890 NOTE 6. LEASES We have operating leases for offices, research and development facilities and data centers and finance leases for certain data center equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one year to approximately six years , some of which include options to renew or terminate. We do not include renewal options in the lease terms for calculating our lease liability, as we are not reasonably certain that we will exercise these renewal options at the time of the lease commencement. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Total operating lease cost was $ 43.3 million, $ 42.4 million and $ 38.6 million for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 , respectively, excluding short-term lease costs, variable lease costs and sublease income, each of which were not material. Variable lease costs primarily include common area maintenance charges. Total finance lease cost was $ 2.4 million, $ 3.9 million, and $ 4.8 million for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. During fiscal 2022, we signed agreements to early exit certain office spaces in the United States. The reduction in the lease term resulted in a decrease to the carrying amount of the operating lease liability and the operating lease right-of-use asset on our consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2022. In addition, we recorded $ 0.6 million of expense in our consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022. 117 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) During fiscal 2023, we signed agreements to early exit certain office spaces in the United States and the Netherlands. The reductions in the lease terms resulted in decreases to the carrying amounts of the operating lease liabilities and the operating lease right-of-use assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2023. In addition, we recorded $ 1.7 million of expense in our consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023.

These operating leases will commence during fiscal 2025, with lease terms of approximately one year . NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Purchase Commitments In the normal course of business, we make commitments with our contract manufacturers to ensure them a minimum level of financial consideration for their investment in our joint solutions. These commitments are based on performance targets or on-hand inventory and non-cancelable purchase orders for non-standard components. We record a charge related to these items when we determine that it is probable a loss will be incurred and we are able to estimate the amount of the loss. Our historical charges have not been material. As of July 31, 2024, we had approximately $ 110.6 million of non-cancelable purchase obligations and other commitments pertaining to our daily business operations, and approximately $ 85.2 million in the form of guarantees to certain of our contract manufacturers. Guarantees and Indemnifications We have entered into agreements with some of our Partners and customers that contain indemnification provisions in the event of claims alleging that our products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. The scope of such indemnification varies, and may include, in certain cases, the ability to cure the indemnification by modifying or replacing the product at our own expense, requiring the return and refund of the infringing product, procuring the right for the partner and/or customer to continue to use or distribute the product, as applicable, and/or defending the partner or customer against and paying any damages from third-party actions based upon claims of infringement. Other guarantees or indemnification arrangements include guarantees of product and service performance. 119 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) We have also agreed to indemnify our directors, executive officers and certain other officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by us, arising out of that person’s services as a director or officer of our company or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at our request. We maintain director and officer insurance coverage that may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The fair value of liabilities related to indemnifications and guarantee provisions are not material and have not had any material impact on our consolidated financial statements to date. Legal Proceedings In February 2023, we settled the two previously disclosed securities class actions that were brought on behalf of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired our securities and/or transacted in publicly traded call options and/or put options on our stock between November 30, 2017 and May 30, 2019. The total settlement amount was $ 71.0 million, which was accrued as of July 31, 2023 and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. In June 2023, $ 31.1 million of the settlement funds were deposited in escrow and were included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2023. In October 2023, the court granted final approval of the settlement and the funds were subsequently released from escrow and paid out to the plaintiffs. The settlement accrual was partially offset by a receivable of $ 39.9 million for amounts recoverable under our applicable insurance policies, which was included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2023. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023, we recorded charges of $ 38.7 million for the settlement and applicable legal fees, net of our insurance receivable. In September 2023, we settled the previously disclosed securities class action that was brought on behalf of a putative class consisting of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between September 21, 2021 and March 6, 2023. The settlement payment was not material. In November 2023, the court dismissed the securities class action pursuant to the settlement agreement with prejudice as to the lead plaintiff and without prejudice as to the other members of the putative class. In addition, in December 2023, the plaintiff in the related previously disclosed stockholder derivative action voluntarily dismissed the action. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material to our business or financial condition. From time to time, we may become party to various litigation matters and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Effective January 3, 2022, all of our then outstanding shares of Class B common stock, par value $ 0.000025 per share, were automatically converted into the same number of shares of our Class A common stock, par value $ 0.000025 per share, pursuant to the terms of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. No additional shares of Class B common stock will be issued following such conversion. As a result, as of July 31, 2024 , we had one class of outstanding common stock consisting of Class A common stock. In December 2022, our stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which includes the removal of all provisions related to Class B common stock. 120 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) As of July 31, 2024 , we had 1.0 billion shares of Class A common stock authorized, with a par value of $ 0.000025 per share. As of July 31, 2024 , we had 265.2 million shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Share Repurchases In September 2021, we used approximately $ 58.5 million of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of $ 97.7 million in aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes to repurchase 1.4 million shares of Class A common stock in open market transactions at an average price of $ 42.77 per share. For additional details on these transactions, refer to Note 5. In August 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $ 350.0 million of our Class A common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The authorization has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock, and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 , we repurchased 2.6 million shares of Class A common stock in open market transactions at a weighted average price of $ 50.77 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $ 131.1 million. As of July 31, 2024 , $ 218.9 million remained available for future share repurchases under the authorization. Common Stock Reserved for Issuance As of July 31, 2024, we had reserved shares of common stock for future issuance as follows: As of July 31, 2024 (in thousands) Shares reserved for future equity grants 19,964 Shares underlying outstanding stock options 258 Shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units 22,175 Shares reserved for future employee stock purchase plan awards 10,747 Total 53,144 NOTE 9. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS Stock Plans We have one active equity incentive plan, the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"), and two inactive equity incentive plans, the 2010 Stock Plan ("2010 Plan") and the 2011 Stock Plan ("2011 Plan") (collectively, the "Stock Plans"). Our stockholders approved the 2016 Plan in March 2016 and it became effective in connection with our initial public offering ("IPO"). As a result, at the time of the IPO, we ceased granting additional stock awards under the 2010 Plan and 2011 Plan and both plans were terminated. Any outstanding stock awards under the 2010 Plan and 2011 Plan remain outstanding, subject to the terms of the applicable plan and award agreements, until such shares are issued under those stock awards, by exercise of stock options or settlement of RSUs, or until those stock awards become vested or expired by their terms. 121 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Under the 2016 Plan, we may grant incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants. We initially reserved 22.4 million shares of our Class A common stock for issuance under the 2016 Plan. The number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan also includes an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning in fiscal 2018, equal to the lesser of: 18.0 million shares, 5 % of the outstanding shares of all classes of common stock as of the last day of our immediately preceding fiscal year, or such other amount as may be determined by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, on August 1, 2022 and 2023, the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan increased by 11.3 million and 12.0 million shares, respectively, pursuant to these provisions. As of July 31, 2024 , we had reserved a total of 42.4 million shares for the issuance of equity awards under the Stock Plans, of which 20.0 million shares were still available for grant. On August 1, 2024, the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan increased by 13.3 million shares pursuant to the automatic increase provisions. Restricted Stock Units RSUs settle into shares of Class A common stock upon vesting. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we began funding withholding taxes due on the vesting of employee RSUs by net share settlement, rather than our previous approach of selling shares of Class A common stock to cover taxes upon vesting of such awards. The payment of the withheld taxes to the tax authorities is reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows. Performance RSUs From time to time, we grant RSUs that have both service and performance conditions to our executives and employees ("PRSUs"). Vesting of PRSUs is subject to continuous service and the satisfaction of certain performance targets. While we recognize cumulative stock-based compensation expense for the portion of the awards for which both the service condition has been satisfied and it is probable that the performance conditions will be met, the actual vesting and settlement of PRSUs are subject to the performance conditions actually being met. In January 2024, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of approximately 0.3 million RSUs subject to certain performance conditions ("PRSUs") to our President and CEO. These PRSUs have a grant date fair value per unit of $ 45.86 and will vest up to 200 % based on achievement of specified annual recurring revenue and free cash flow hurdles over a performance period of approximately 3.6 years, subject to his continuous service as CEO through the vesting date. Market Stock Units We also grant RSUs that have both service and market-based conditions to our executives and employees ("MSUs"). Vesting of MSUs is subject to continuous service and the satisfaction of certain market-based performance targets. While we recognize cumulative stock-based compensation expense for the portion of the awards for which the service condition has been satisfied, regardless of achievement of the specified targets, the actual vesting and settlement of MSUs are subject to the market-based conditions actually being met. 122 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) During fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of approximately 0.7 million, 1.3 million and 0.8 million, respectively, RSUs subject to certain market conditions to certain of our executives. These MSUs have a weighted average grant date fair value per unit of approximately $ 46.80 , $ 27.89 and $ 47.65 , respectively, and will vest up to 200 % of the target number of MSUs based upon our total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder return of companies in the Nasdaq Composite Index over a performance period of approximately 2.8 years, 3.1 years and 3.0 years, respectively, subject to continuous service on each vesting date. In January 2024, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of approximately 0.2 million MSUs to our President and CEO. These MSUs have a weighted average grant date fair value of $ 62.85 and will vest up to 200 % based on achievement of specified stock price hurdles at any time during a performance period of approximately 3.6 years, subject to his continuous service as CEO through the vesting date.

Stock Options Our Board of Directors determines the period over which stock options become exercisable and stock options generally vest over a four-year period. Stock options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. The term of an ISO grant to a 10% stockholder will not exceed five years from the date of the grant. The exercise price of an ISO will not be less than 100 % of the estimated fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock option (or 110 % of the estimated fair value in the case of an ISO granted to a 10% stockholder) on the date of grant. The exercise price of an NSO is determined by our Board of Directors at the time of grant and is generally not less than 100 % of the estimated fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock option on the date of grant. 123 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the options and the estimated fair value of our common stock. Cash received from option exercises was $ 6.5 million, $ 3.7 million and $ 4.2 million for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 , respectively. The total grant date fair value of stock options vested was not material for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022. There were no stock options that vested during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2023 or 2024. We did no t grant any stock options during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2022, 2023 or 2024. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In December 2015, our Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which was subsequently amended in January 2016 and September 2016 and approved by our stockholders in March 2016 (the "Original 2016 ESPP"). The Original 2016 ESPP became effective in connection with our IPO. Our stockholders subsequently approved amendments to the Original 2016 ESPP in December 2019 and December 2022 (as amended, the "2016 ESPP"). Under the 2016 ESPP, the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock available for sale is 13.8 million shares. The 2016 ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 15 % of eligible compensation, subject to caps of $ 25,000 in any calendar year and 1,000 shares on any purchase date. The 2016 ESPP provides for 12-month offering periods, generally beginning in March and September of each year, and each offering period consists of two six-month purchase periods. On each purchase date, participating employees will purchase Class A common stock at a price per share equal to 85 % of the lesser of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on (i) the first trading day of the applicable offering period or (ii) the last trading day of each purchase period in the applicable offering period. If the stock price of our Class A common stock on any purchase date in an offering period is lower than the stock price on the enrollment date of that offering period, the offering period will immediately reset after the purchase of shares on such purchase date and automatically roll into a new offering period. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 , 1.9 million shares of common stock were purchased under the 2016 ESPP for an aggregate amount of $ 47.3 million. As of July 31, 2024 , 10.7 million shares were available for future issuance under the 2016 ESPP. 124 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of shares purchased under the 2016 ESPP with the following weighted average assumptions on the date of grant: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 Expected term (in years) 0.81 0.74 0.78 Risk-free interest rate 1.0 % 4.3 % 5.1 % Volatility 43.3 % 59.8 % 47.2 % Dividend yield — % — % — % Stock-Based Compensation Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in our consolidated statements of operations is as follows: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 (in thousands) Cost of revenue: Product $ 7,379 $ 7,966 $ 6,822 Support, entitlements and other services 30,846 26,611 27,285 Sales and marketing 104,592 82,758 80,190 Research and development 143,759 139,073 156,784 General and administrative 56,670 55,337 62,752 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 343,246 $ 311,745 $ 333,833 As of July 31, 2024 , unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock awards was approximately $ 553.8 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years. NOTE 10. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES In August 2022, we announced a plan to reduce our global headcount by approximately 270 employees, which represented approximately 4 % of our total employees , following a review of our business structure and after taking other cost-cutting measures to reduce expenses. This headcount reduction was part of our efforts to drive toward profitable growth. As of July 31, 2024 , we recognized total restructuring charges of approximately $ 16.3 million, which consisted primarily of one-time severance and other termination benefit costs directly related to this reduction in force. Of the approximately $ 16.3 million recognized, $ 0.4 million is included within support, entitlements and other services cost of revenue, $ 13.4 million is included within sales and marketing expense, $ 2.3 million is included within research and development expense, and $ 0.2 million is included within general and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of operations. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023, we recognized restructuring charges of approximately $ 5.3 million and made cash payments of approximately $ 15.8 million. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 , we did no t incur any charges and made cash payments of approximately $ 0.4 million. As of July 31, 2024 , we had no remaining restructuring liability. 125 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 11. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE We adopted ASU 2020-06 on August 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method, applicable to our convertible senior notes outstanding as of adoption. We have not changed any previously disclosed amounts or provided additional disclosures for comparative periods. ASU 2020-06 requires the if-converted method to be applied for all convertible instruments when calculating diluted earnings per share. Under the if-converted method, shares related to our convertible senior notes, to the extent dilutive, are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, as their effect would be dilutive. Potentially dilutive common shares include shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, the vesting of RSUs, each purchase under the 2016 ESPP, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt under the if-converted method. In loss periods, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are the same, as the effect of potential common shares is antidilutive and therefore excluded. Effective January 3, 2022, all of our then outstanding shares of Class B common stock, par value $ 0.000025 per share, were automatically converted into the same number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $ 0.000025 per share, pursuant to the terms of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Prior to this conversion, the rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of our Class A and Class B common stock were identical, except with respect to voting. As the liquidation and dividend rights were identical, our undistributed earnings or losses were allocated on a proportionate basis among the holders of both Class A and Class B common stock. As a result, the net income (loss) per share attributed to common stockholders was the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis. The computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is as follows: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 (in thousands, except per share data) Numerator: Net loss $ ( 798,946 ) $ ( 254,560 ) $ ( 124,775 ) Denominator: Weighted average shares, basic and diluted 220,529 233,247 244,743 Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted $ ( 3.62 ) $ ( 1.09 ) $ ( 0.51 ) The following shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented, as their effect would have been antidilutive: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 (in thousands) Outstanding stock options and RSUs 23,825 25,820 22,433 Employee stock purchase plan 2,511 1,122 1,148 Common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes 39,968 38,700 39,423 Total 66,304 65,642 63,004 126 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Shares that will be issued in connection with our stock awards and shares that will be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan are generally automatically converted into shares of our Class A common stock. Common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes represents the antidilutive impact of the 2023 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes under the if-converted method. NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES Income Taxes Loss before provision for income taxes by fiscal year consisted of the following: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 (in thousands) Domestic $ ( 834,915 ) $ ( 294,093 ) $ ( 167,745 ) Foreign 55,233 60,508 66,427 Loss before provision for income taxes $ ( 779,682 ) $ ( 233,585 ) $ ( 101,318 ) Provision for income taxes by fiscal year consisted of the following: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2022 2023 2024 (in thousands) Current: U.S. federal $ 13 $ ( 568 ) $ — State and local 77 623 2,052 Foreign 21,578 21,952 23,925 Total current taxes 21,668 22,007 25,977 Deferred: U.S. federal 23 24 24 State and local — — — Foreign ( 2,427 ) ( 1,056 ) ( 2,544 ) Total deferred taxes ( 2,404 ) ( 1,032 ) ( 2,520 ) Provision for income taxes $ 19,264 $ 20,975 $ 23,457 The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21 % to pre-tax loss.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, our provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to foreign tax provisions in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. The temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: As of July 31, 2023 2024 (in thousands) Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforward $ 606,483 $ 532,559 Tax credit carryforward 229,429 292,546 Capitalized research expenses 128,169 241,194 Deferred revenue 175,975 179,093 Leases 28,587 35,416 Accruals and reserves 23,631 25,065 Stock-based compensation 17,028 17,221 Intangibles and goodwill 8,499 8,447 Property and equipment 4,043 4,302 Interest expense carryforward 5,166 — Other assets 24,347 22,631 Total deferred tax assets 1,251,357 1,358,474 Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred commission expense ( 84,421 ) ( 84,409 ) Leases ( 30,153 ) ( 36,100 ) Prepaid expenses ( 1,966 ) ( 2,249 ) Intangibles and goodwill ( 1,258 ) ( 1,394 ) Property and equipment ( 1,362 ) ( 1,359 ) Convertible notes ( 31,207 ) — Other ( 11,808 ) ( 14,075 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 162,175 ) ( 139,586 ) Valuation allowance ( 1,078,355 ) ( 1,205,780 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 10,827 $ 13,108 Management believes that based on available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not that the U.S. deferred tax assets will not be utilized and as such, a full valuation allowance has been recorded. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $ 1.2 billion as of July 31, 2024. The net increase in the total valuation allowance for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2023 and 2024 was $ 75.8 million and $ 127.4 million, respectively. As of July 31, 2024 , we had approximately $ 2.4 billion of federal net operating loss carryforwards and $ 1.6 billion of state net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income, which will begin to expire in fiscal 2024. In addition, we had approximately $ 177.1 million of federal research credit carryforwards, $ 131.3 million of state research credit carryforwards and $ 48.2 million of foreign tax credit carryforwards available to reduce future tax liability. The federal credits will begin to expire in fiscal 2030 and the state credits can be carried forward indefinitely. The foreign credits will begin to expire in fiscal 2029. Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. Any annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization. If an ownership change occurred, utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards could be significantly reduced. 128 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) As of July 31, 2024 , we held an aggregate of $ 299.9 million in cash and cash equivalents in our foreign subsidiaries, of which $ 137.5 million was denominated in U.S. dollars. We attribute net revenue, costs and expenses to domestic and foreign components based on the terms of our agreements with our subsidiaries. We do not provide for federal income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as such earnings are to be reinvested offshore indefinitely. It is not practical to estimate the withholding tax liability if these earnings were to be repatriated. We recognize uncertain tax positions in our financial statements if that position will more likely than not be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. A reconciliation of our unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest and penalties, is as follows: Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2023 2024 (in thousands) Balance at the beginning of the year $ 90,673 $ 95,862 Increases related to current year tax positions 4,635 7,595 Increases related to prior year tax positions 1,616 425 Decreases related to prior year tax positions ( 29 ) ( 932 ) Lapse of statute of limitations/Settlements/Other ( 1,033 ) ( 303 ) Balance at the end of the year $ 95,862 $ 102,647 During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, the net increase in unrecognized tax positions was primarily attributable to federal and state research and development credits and intercompany charges. As of July 31, 2024 , if uncertain tax positions are fully recognized in the future, it would result in a $ 17.1 million impact to our effective tax rate, primarily relating to positions in foreign jurisdictions, and the remaining amount would result in adjustments to deferred tax assets and corresponding adjustments to the valuation allowance. We recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. As of July 31, 2024 , we had recognized $ 9.5 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as well as various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 2009 and forward remain open to examination by the major jurisdictions in which we are subject to tax. These fiscal years outside the normal statute of limitation remain open to audit by tax authorities due to tax attributes generated in those early years, which have been carried forward and may be audited in subsequent years when utilized. We are subject to the continuous examination of income tax returns by various tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of the provision for income taxes. We believe that adequate amounts have been reserved for any adjustments that may ultimately result from these examinations. We do not anticipate a significant impact to the gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months related to these years. 129 Table of Contents NUTANIX, INC.
