This supports revenue, margin, and free cash flow growth and will deliver sustainable shareholder value over many years FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Revenue growth: Delivered double-digit annual revenue growth at scale, >95% recurring Margin enhancement: Expanded underlying non-GAAP operating margins (excluding impacts of new transaction model and FX) by ~300 basis points since FY23 - on track to reach FY26 target of 38-40% in FY25 (1) , a year ahead of schedule. We expect the new transaction model and subsequent go-to- market optimization to increase sales and marketing efficiency and deliver GAAP margins among the best in the industry FCF growth: On track to deliver $2.05B of FCF at the midpoint in FY26 Returning capital to shareholders: Repurchased about $3B of stock which offset dilution and reduced share count by about 5M shares over the last three years. Pace of buybacks to offset dilution is expected to accelerate into FY26 as FCF builds from the FY24 trough Analysis excludes FX impact of (~1 pt) in both FY24 & FY25 and new transaction model impact of (1 to 1.5 pts) in FY25. FX impacts represent difference between as reported non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP operating margin when applying FY23 actual blended average FX rates. 5 FY25 underlying non-GAAP operating margin ~39% Stripping out the effects on margins from FX and the new transaction model, we expect to be towards the midpoint of our fiscal 26 non-GAAP operating margin target of 38 to 40 percent in fiscal 25, a year ahead of schedule and representing about 300 bps of improvements since fiscal 23 Please note: Analysis excludes FX impact of (~1 pt) in both FY24 & FY25 and new transaction model impact of (1 to 1.5 pts) in FY25. FX impacts represent difference between as reported non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP operating margin when applying FY23 actual blended average FX rates. 6 Outlook 7 Outlook Q4 FY25 (1) FY25 (1) (ending January 31, 2025) (ending January 31, 2025) Revenue (in millions) $1,623 - $1,638 Billings (in millions) $5,900 - $5,980 Up 14% - 15% EPS GAAP $1.21 - $1.27 Revenue (in millions) (3) $6,115 - $6,130 Up approx. 11% EPS non-GAAP (2) $2.10 - $2.16 GAAP operating margin 21.5% - 22% Non-GAAP operating margin (4) 35.5% - 36% EPS GAAP $4.95 - $5.01 EPS non-GAAP (5) $8.29 - $8.35 Free cash flow (in millions) (6) $1,470 - $1,500 GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations in the appendix.
