When evaluating the performance of our business and making operating plans, we do not consider these items (for example, when considering the impact of equity award grants, we place a greater emphasis on overall stockholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such grants). We believe it is useful to exclude these expenses in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies and over multiple periods. In addition to these exclusions, we subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to calculate non-GAAP net income. We utilize a fixed long-term projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026, we have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 20%. Free cash flow: We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available (if any), after purchases of property and equipment, for operational expenses, investment in our business, and to make acquisitions. Free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash in excess of our capital investments in property and equipment. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. Billings: We define billings as total revenues plus the change in our contract liabilities and refund liability less contract assets and unbilled accounts receivable in a given period. Billings reflects sales to new customers plus subscription renewals and additional sales to existing customers. Only amounts invoiced to a customer in a given period are included in billings. We believe billings can be used to measure our periodic performance, when taking into consideration the timing aspects of customer renewals, which represents a large component of our business. Given that most of our customers pay in annual installments one year in advance, but we typically recognize a majority of the related revenue ratably over time, we use billings to measure and monitor our ability to provide our business with the working capital generated by upfront payments from our customers. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this presentation. T o supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly-titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We present these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance using a management view, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. However, these non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, a substitute for, or superior to our GAAP results. Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective GAAP measures, excluding expenses related to stock-based compensation, employer payroll tax on employee stock transactions, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring and other related charges, as these costs are not reflective of ongoing operations and, as applicable, other special items. The amount of employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business.

23 Modeling considerations T opline Considerations: Foreign Exchange (F/X) Rates Growth Impact For both Q2 and Fiscal 2026, we expect a positive billings impact of approximately 0.7% year-over-year, and for revenue an approximately neutral year-over-year impact. This compares to the prior expected negative headwinds of approximately 1% year-over-year for billings and approximately 0.7% year-over-year for revenue in our prior Fiscal 2026 guidance issued in March of 2025. Seasonality Billings: For billings, we expect 2nd-half year-over-year growth to accelerate compared to 1st-half year-over-year growth, with Q4 growth expected to be stronger than Q3. This is due to the continued expected ramp in IAM deal volume and improvement in gross retention. Revenue: For revenue, we expect Q2 to represent slightly higher year-over-year growth versus 2nd half of Fiscal 2026, with recent digital and IAM strength being offset by a more conservative outlook given the economic environment. Dollar Net Retention Rate (DNR) We continue to expect DNR to moderately improve throughout the year based on both gross retention improvement and IAM upsell impact. IAM We continue to expect that IAM will represent a low double-digit percentage of the subscription book of business exiting Q4 of Fiscal 2026.
Page 24
24 Modeling considerations Profitability Considerations: Non-GAAP Gross Margin We continue to expect an approximate 1% point headwind due to the ongoing cloud migration for the full year Fiscal 2026. In Q1, gross margin was higher than forecasted due to higher revenue and a lower headwind due to slight shifts in the timing of migration efforts. For Q2, Q3, and Q4, we anticipate the headwind will be higher than the 1% indicated by full-year guidance. We continue to expect this migration impact to gradually ease in Fiscal 2027 and beyond. Non-GAAP Operating Margin Fiscal 2026 operating margin guidance is unchanged. We anticipate a 1.5% point headwind due to the 1% point cloud migration impact and 0.5% point annualized impact from Q2-specific comparison items explained in the prepared remarks. Additionally, we are not passing through the increase in revenue guidance to operating margin due to our updated foreign exchange rate forecast, which increases expenses for the remainder of Fiscal 2026. Q2 2026 guidance anticipates a year-over-year difference of approximately 5.2% points compared to Q2 2025 results. The majority of the difference between Q2 2026 and Q2 2025 can be attributed to the Q2-specific comparison items. The remainder of the increase is due to the timing of hiring, associated compensation changes, and depreciation expense from capitalized wages. Free Cash Flow (FCF) Margin We expect similar free cash flow seasonality in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025, with FCF margins lower in Q2 and Q3 before rebounding in Q4.

(3) ACV = Annualized Contract Value (4) Compares the annual recurring revenue, or ARR, for active subscription contracts from Direct customers at two period end dates. T o calculate our dollar-based net retention rate at the end of the base year (e.g., April 30, 2025), we first identify customers that were customers at the end of the prior year (e.g., April 30, 2024) and then divide the ARR attributed to those customers at the end of the base year by the ARR attributed to those same customers at the end of the prior year. The quotient obtained from this calculation is the dollar-based net retention rate. For clarity, we do not include customers serviced via our digital channel in this metric.
