+Added: While a substantial majority of our business was historically generated from customers using Server products, which are no longer available, and Data Center products, over time, our Cloud offerings have become more central to our distribution model, and this trend will continue in the future.
+Added: To support this transition, we have directed a significant portion of our financial and operating resources to implement robust Cloud offerings and to migrate our existing customers to our Cloud offerings, which impacts our results of operations, revenue recognition practices, and financial condition.
+Added: For example, due to the higher fees associated with hosting our Cloud infrastructure, we have and expect to continue to see increased expenses and lower margins as customers transition to Cloud.
Our strategy to provide our AI tools at no or low cost to the majority of our Cloud customers may further increase these hosting costs without corresponding revenue increases.
−Removed: Additionally, we offered discounts to certain of our enterprise-level Server customers to incentivize migration to our Cloud offerings, which impacted our near-term revenue growth.
−Removed: Our revenue growth rates and profitability may also be negatively impacted by Server customers that did not transition to our Cloud or Data Center offerings or Data Center customers that do not migrate to our Cloud offerings in the future.
−Removed: If our Cloud offerings do not develop as quickly as we expect, if we are unable to continue to scale our systems to meet the requirements of successful, large Cloud offerings, or if we lose customers currently using our Data Center products due to our increased focus on our Cloud offerings or our inability to successfully migrate them to our Cloud offerings, our business could be harmed.
−Removed: We are directing a significant portion of our financial and operating resources to implement robust Cloud offerings and to migrate our existing customers to our Cloud offerings, but even if we continue to make these investments, we may be unsuccessful in growing or implementing our Cloud offering that competes successfully against our current and future competitors and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
+Added: Revenues recognized from our Cloud offerings are also typically lower in the initial year compared to our Data Center offerings, which may impact our near-term revenue growth rates and margins.
+Added: In September 2025, we announced plans to end-of-life our Data Center deployment offering via our Atlassian Ascend initiative.
+Added: Beginning in March 2026, we will no longer sell term licenses to new customers, and we will stop selling term licenses and expansions to existing customers in March 2028.
+Added: Subject to limited exceptions, we plan to end maintenance and support for these on-premises versions of our products in March 2029.
+Added: If we are unable to offer the systems, security capabilities, or controls our Data Center customers require to migrate to our Cloud offerings, or if our customers otherwise choose not to migrate, our revenue growth and profitability will be negatively impacted.
+Added: The Atlassian Ascend initiative may impact purchasing patterns among our Data Center customers in ways that create fluctuations in our quarterly financial results and impacts the guidance we issue, including decisions regarding sizes of Data Center product renewals, expansions, timing of Cloud upgrades or decisions not to renew or upgrade.
+Added: In our migration from Server, we offered discounts to certain of our enterprise-level Server customers as an incentive, which impacted our near-term revenue growth, and we expect to offer similar incentives
+Added: in connection with Atlassian Ascend.

+Added: Our quarterly financial results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control.
+Added: If our quarterly financial results fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts who follow us, the price of our Class A Common Stock could decline substantially.
+Added: Factors that may cause our revenue, results of operations and cash flows to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include, but are not limited to:
+Added: • our ability to attract new customers, retain and increase sales to existing customers, and satisfy our customers’ requirements;
+Added: • the timing and terms of customer contracts and renewals;
+Added: • seasonality impacts in our sales cycle and other operations;
+Added: • challenges in collecting outstanding accounts receivable balances;

+Added: • the timing of the grant or vesting of equity awards to employees, contractors, or directors;
+Added: • major changes to management or our board of directors;
+Added: • general economic conditions, including inflationary pressures and interest rate policy, that may adversely affect either our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase additional licenses, subscriptions, delay a prospective customer’s purchasing decisions, reduce the value of new license or subscription, or affect customer retention;

+Added: and international political and social unrest, changes in trade policies, armed conflict, natural disasters, climate change, diseases and pandemics, and any associated economic downturn, on our results of operations and financial performance.
+Added: Many of these factors are outside of our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows to vary widely.
+Added: As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
+Added: We recognize certain revenue streams over the term of our subscription contracts.
+Added: Consequently, downturns in new sales may not be immediately reflected in our results of operations and may be difficult to discern.
+Added: We generally recognize subscription revenue from customers ratably over the terms of their contracts.
+Added: As a result, a significant portion of the revenue we report in each quarter is derived from the recognition of deferred revenue relating to subscription plans entered into during previous quarters.

+Added: However, such a decline will negatively affect our revenue in future quarters.

+Added: Changes in the terms of our customer contracts, product lifecycles and the adoption and application of accounting principles relating to revenue recognition also impact our results.
+Added: We may also be unable to reduce our cost structure in line with a significant deterioration in sales.
+Added: In addition, a significant majority of our costs are expensed as incurred, while a significant portion of our revenue is recognized over the life of the agreement with our customer.
+Added: As a result, increased growth in the number of our customers could continue to result in our recognition of more costs than revenue in the earlier periods of the terms of certain of our customer agreements.
+Added: Our subscription revenue also makes it more difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from certain new customers must be recognized over the applicable term.
+Added: Seasonality may cause fluctuations in our revenue.
+Added: As we continue to invest in our sales-led motion and deepen our footprint with enterprise customer, we believe we have and may continue to see increased seasonal fluctuations in terms of the timing of when we enter into customer agreements.
+Added: We believe we may have experienced in the past and may experience in the future seasonality effects due to enterprise customer budget cycles and our internal commission plans and quotas for our enterprise sales force.
+Added: For instance, a higher percentage of customer sales are typically executed in the second and fourth quarters of our fiscal year.
+Added: Seasonality effects may cause variability in revenue growth rates in certain quarters and within quarters.
