Fiscal Year 2024 Highlights

1 unchanged sentence

• Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $1,759.8 million as of January 31, 2023, compared to $1,884.7 million as of January 31, 2022.

Macroeconomic Environment and Foreign Currency Fluctuations

Macroeconomic factors have affected our business and our customers’ businesses.

Globally, we price our platform in local currency.

Accordingly, the heightened volatility of global markets has exposed us and will continue to expose us to foreign currency fluctuations, which may impact demand for our platform, our near-term results, and our ability to predict future results.

• Gross margin was 85% for fiscal year 2024, compared to 83% for fiscal year 2023.

• Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities were $1,880.3 million as of January 31, 2024, compared to $1,759.8 million as of January 31, 2023.

Macroeconomic Environment

As a corporation with a global presence, we are subject to risks and uncertainties caused by significant events with macroeconomic impacts, including, but not limited to, the impact of changes in geopolitical relationships, rising inflation and interest rates, monetary policy changes, and foreign currency fluctuations.

Additionally, these macroeconomic impacts have generally disrupted the operations of our customers, prospective customers, and partners.

Internationally, we price our platform in currencies that may not be the functional currency.

Further, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities represent a significant portion of our total assets;

as such, liquidity concerns in the financial services industry may have an effect on our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.

Additionally, the return on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities is sensitive to changes in interest rates.

Volatility in the interest rate environment may impact the amount of interest and other income reported on our consolidated statements of operations, the comparability of these amounts to prior periods, and our ability to predict future profitability.

We continuously monitor the direct and indirect impacts of these circumstances on our business and financial results, as well as the overall global economy and geopolitical landscape.

2 unchanged sentences

On November 10, 2022, our board of directors approved further restructuring actions, including an additional 6% workforce reduction to further support our strategic positioning to drive increased execution velocity, operational efficiency, and customer centricity.

Refer to Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies— Workforce Restructuring included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

Impact of COVID-19

When the COVID-19 pandemic began to unfold, we took decisive action across our internal and customer operations to ensure the resilience of the Company and the safety of our employees.

Our operational rigor, digital infrastructure, and global footprint have enabled us to support our customers navigating new challenges presented by the pandemic as well as existing needs to automate.

Global demand for automation has continued to accelerate as automation becomes ever more critical for business execution and performance in remote working environments, and we have continued to invest in the development and marketing of our automation platform to meet that demand.

Key Performance Metric

We monitor ARR to help us measure and evaluate the effectiveness of our operations.

ARR is the key performance metric we use in managing our business because it illustrates our ability to acquire new subscription customers and to maintain and expand our relationships with existing subscription customers.

We define ARR as annualized invoiced amounts per solution SKU from subscription licenses and maintenance and support obligations assuming no increases or reductions in customers' subscriptions.

ARR does not include the costs we may incur to obtain such subscription licenses or provide such maintenance and support, and does not reflect any actual or anticipated reductions in invoiced value due to contract non-renewals or service cancellations other than for specific reserves, for example those for credit losses or disputed amounts.

At January 31, 2023 and 2022, our ARR was $1,203.8 million and $925.3 million, respectively, representing a growth rate of 30%.

Approximately 25% of this growth rate was due to new customers and 75% of this growth rate was due to existing customers.

Our dollar-based net retention rate, which represents the net expansion of ARR from existing customers over the preceding 12 months, was 123% and 145% as of January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

We calculate dollar-based net retention rate as of a period end by starting with Prior Period ARR , the ARR from the cohort of all customers as of 12 months prior to such period end.

We then calculate Current Period ARR , the ARR from these same customers as of the current period end.

Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months, but does not include ARR from new customers in the current period.

We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the point-in-time dollar-based net retention rate.

Our ARR may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including customers’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our platform, pricing, competitive offerings, economic conditions, overall changes in our customers’ spending levels, and our ability to successfully execute on our strategic goals.

ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or to replace these items.

For clarity, we use annualized invoiced amounts per solution SKU rather than revenue calculated in accordance with U.S.

GAAP to calculate our ARR.

Our invoiced amounts are not matched to transfer of control of the performance obligations associated with the underlying subscription licenses and maintenance and support obligations.

This can result in timing differences between our GAAP revenue and ARR calculations.

Our ARR calculation simply takes our invoiced amounts per solution SKU under a subscription license or maintenance agreement and divides that amount by the invoice term and multiplies by 365 days to derive the annualized value.

In contrast, for our revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP, subscription licenses revenue derived from the sale of term-based licenses hosted on-premises is recognized at the point in time when the customer is able to use and benefit from our software, which is generally upon delivery to the customer or upon the commencement of the renewal term, and maintenance, support, and SaaS revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.

ARR is not a forecast of future revenue.

Unlike ARR, future revenue can be impacted by contract start and end dates and duration.

The timing of recognition of ARR is determined by contract billing structure, whereas billing structure will neither accelerate nor delay recognition of future revenue.

For example, in a multi-year contract invoiced upfront, ARR is the annualized invoiced amount per solution SKU related to the final year of the contract, whereas revenue is determined by total contract value and timing of transfer of the underlying performance

ARR does not include invoiced amounts associated with perpetual licenses or professional services.

Investors should not place undue reliance on ARR as an indicator of our future or expected results.

Moreover, our presentation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies and may not be comparable to such other metrics.

During the current fiscal year, we saw an increase in sales of our Flex Offerings compared to sales of our legacy offerings (primarily on-premise solutions sold as term-based licenses bundled with maintenance and support).

We expect this trend to continue and, as a result, a greater portion of our revenue will be recognized over time as subscription services revenue rather than as license revenue, which is typically recognized at a point in time.

Provision for income taxes increased by $3.3 million, or 30%, for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023.

The effective tax rate was (18.6)% and (3.4)% for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The change was primarily driven by lower foreign tax expenses resulting from lower year-over-year earnings of our cost-plus margin entities, coupled with lower permanent differences in those jurisdictions.

The increase in provision for income taxes was primarily driven by higher foreign tax expenses of our cost-plus margin entities in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Key Performance Metric

We mon itor ARR to help us measure and evaluate the effectiveness of our operations.

We define ARR as annualized invoiced amounts per solution SKU from subscription licenses and maintenance and support obligations assuming no increases or reductions in customers' subscriptions.

ARR does not include the costs we may incur to obtain such subscription licenses or provide such maintenance and support, and does not reflect any actual or anticipated reductions in invoiced value due to contract non-renewals or service cancellations other than for certain reserves, for example those for credit losses or disputed amounts.

At January 31, 2024 and 2023, our ARR was $1,463.7 million and $1,203.8 million, respectively, representing a growth rate of 22%.

Approximately 14% of this growth rate was due to new customers and 86% of this growth rate was due to existing customers.

Our dollar-based net retention rate, which represents the net expansion of ARR from existing customers over the preceding 12 months, was 119% and 123% as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We calculate dollar-based net retention rate as of a period end by starting with Prior Period ARR , the ARR from the cohort of all customers as of 12 months prior to such period end.

We then calculate Current Period ARR , the ARR from these same customers as of the current period end.

Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months, but does not include ARR from new customers in the current period.

We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the point-in-time dollar-based net retention rate.

ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or to replace these items.

For clarity, we use annualized invoiced amounts per solution SKU rather than revenue calculated in accordance wit h U.S.

GAAP to calcu late our ARR.

Our invoiced amounts are not matched to transfer of control of the performance obligations associated with the underlying subscription licenses and maintenance and support obligations.

This can result in timing differences between our GAAP revenue and ARR calculations.

In contrast, for our revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP, subscription licenses revenue derived from the sale of term-based licenses hosted on-premises is recognized at the point in time when the customer is able to use and benefit from our software, which is generally upon delivery to the customer or upon the commencement of the renewal term, and maintenance, support, an d SaaS re venue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.

ARR is not a forecast of future revenue.

Unlike ARR, future revenue can be impacted by contract start and end dates and duration.

The timing of recognition of ARR is determined by contract billing structure, whereas billing structure will neither accelerate nor delay recognition of future revenue.

For example, in a multi-year contract invoiced upfront, ARR is the annualized invoiced amount per solution SKU related to the final year of the contract assuming no reserve is applied, whereas revenue is determined by total contract value and timing of satisfaction of the underlying performance obligations.

ARR does not include invoiced amounts associated with perpetual licenses or professional services.

Investors should not place undue reliance on ARR as an indicator of our future or expected results.

Moreover, our presentation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies and may not be comparable to such other metrics.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed operations since our inception primarily through customer payments and net proceeds from sales of equity securities.

Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been to fund our operations, invest in capital expenditures, and engage in various business acquisitions.

Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been to fund our operations, invest in capital expenditures, engage in various business acquisitions, and, more recently, repurchase shares of our Class A common stock.

As of January 31, 2024 and 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaling $1,879.8 million and $1,759.8 million, respectively, and we had an accumulated deficit of $1,914.2 million and $1,824.3 million, respectively.

During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, we reported net losses of $328.4 million and $525.6 million, respectively, and net cash used in operations of $10.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively.

During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, we reported net losses of $89.9 million and $328.4 million, respectively, and net cash provided by (used in) operations of $299.1 million and $(10.0) million, respectively.

In April 2021, we completed our IPO, which resulted in the issuance of 13.0 million shares of our Class A common stock at a public offering price of $56.00 per share, including 3.6 million shares pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

In February 2021, we completed our Series F preferred stock financing with gross proceeds totaling $750.0 million.

In July 2020, we completed our Series E preferred stock financing with gross proceeds totaling $225.9 million.

In connection with our IPO, all shares of convertible preferred stock then outstanding automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock.

In October 2020, we entered into the Credit Facility (described further below) with an available borrowing capacity of $200.0 million.

In January 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with HSBC Bank USA, N.A, HSBC Ventures USA Inc., and Silicon Valley Bank, which provided a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, and which we repaid in full in July 2020.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, sales of our products and services, license renewal activity, the timing and the amount of cash received from customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the introduction of new and enhanced products, the continuing market adoption of our products, expenses associated with our international expansion, and the timing and extent of capital expenditures to invest in existing and new office spaces.

In October 2020, we entered into the Credit Facility with an available borrowing capacity of $200.0 million.

We did not borrow under the Credit Facility at any time, and it was terminated in September 2023, shortly prior to its scheduled maturity date.

Refer to Note 10, Credit Facility for further details.

If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, operations and financial condition.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, payments from customers, and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months and the long term.

Credit Facility

In October 2020, we entered into th e Credit Facility with HSBC Ventures USA Inc., Silicon Valley Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Mizuho Bank, LTD.

Our obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets, except for our intellectual property.

The Credit Facility contains certain customary covenants, including, but not limited to, those relating to additional indebtedness, liens, asset divestitures, and affiliate transactions.

We may use the proceeds of future borrowings under the Credit Facility for refinancing other indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes, including permitted business acquisitions.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a base rate, as defined in the Credit Facility, plus a margin of 2.0% or 3.0% depending on the base rate.

The Credit Facility is subject to customary fees for loan facilities of this type, including ongoing commitment fees at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the daily amount available to be drawn.

As of January 31, 2023, we had no outstanding debt under the Credit Facility.

Although we had a banking relationship with Silicon Valley Bank as of its closure on March 10, 2023, we did not experience any adverse impact to our liquidity or to our current or projected business operations, financial condition, or results of operations as a result such closure.

However, uncertainty remains over liquidity concerns in the broader financial services industry, and there may be additional impacts to our business and our industry that we cannot predict at this time.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and payments from customers will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months and the long term.

Stock Repurchase Program

On September 1, 2023, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which we may repurchase from time to time up to $500.0 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock.

Since the performance obligations have different revenue recognition models, SSP estimates directly affect the timing and amount of revenue recognized during a particular period.

For example, if the SSP of a license delivered in one

period is greater than the SSP of professional services that are sold with that license but delivered in future periods, a greater portion of the transaction price will be recognized at contract inception in the current period versus over time as the services are performed in later periods.

For example, if the SSP of a license delivered in one period is greater than the SSP of professional services that are sold with that license but delivered in future periods, a greater portion of the transaction price will be recognized at contract inception in the current period versus over time as the services are performed in later periods.

Whenever possible, we allocate the transaction price based on observable SSP, which is the price of the same good or service in standalone sales to similar customers in similar circumstances.

Stock-Based Compensation

1 unchanged sentence

ASC 718 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, directors, and non-employees based on the grant date fair value of the awards.

During fiscal year 2023, we granted 30.0 million RSUs and 5.0 million stock options, and issued 1.2 million shares under our ESPP.

The fair values of these 30.0 million RSUs were determined based on the closing price of our publicly traded Class A common stock on the respective grant dates (with grant date being the date of approval by the compensation committee of our board or directors or its delegates), and as such were not subject to estimation uncertainty.

Stock Options

The fair values of stock options were determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, which considers the value of our Class A common stock, exercise price, expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield.

Of the 5.0 million stock options granted, 2.9 million were granted in-the-money with an exercise price of $0.10, which is our current broad-based granting practice in certain non-U.S.
