Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial and other key performance measures: billings, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net loss per share, free cash flow, subscription revenue, subscription billings, subscription revenue mix, subscription billings mix, Annual Contract Value Billings (or ACV Billings), and Run-rate Annual Contract Value (or Run-rate ACV). In computing these non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures, we exclude certain items such as stock-based compensation and the related income tax impact, costs associated with our acquisitions (such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, income tax-related impact, and other acquisition-related costs), impairment of operating lease-related assets, change in fair value of derivative liability, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, non-cash interest expense, other non-recurring transactions and the related tax impact, and the revenue and billings associated with pass-through hardware sales. Billings is a performance measure which we believe provides useful information to investors because it represents the amounts under binding purchase orders received by us during a given period that have been billed, and we calculate billings by adding the change in deferred revenue

between the start and end of the period to total revenue recognized in the same period. Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP net loss per share are financial measures which we believe provide useful information to investors because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures such as stock-based compensation expense that may not be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. Free cash flow is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures, and we define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Subscription revenue, subscription billings, subscription revenue mix, and subscription billings mix are performance measures that we believe provide

useful information to our management and investors as they allow us to better track the growth of the subscription-based portion of our business, which is a critical part of our business plan. ACV Billings and Run-rate ACV are performance measures that we believe provide useful information to our management and investors as they allow us to better track the topline growth of our business during our transition to a subscription-based business model because they take into account variability in term lengths. We use these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures for financial and operational

decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Billings, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net loss per share, and free cash flow are not substitutes for total revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, net loss per share, or net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, respectively; subscription revenue is not a substitute for total revenue; and subscription billings is not a substitute for subscription revenue or total revenue. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to either ACV Billings or Run-rate ACV, so we have not reconciled the ACV Billings or Run-rate ACV numbers included in this presentation to any GAAP measure. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures as tools for comparison. We urge you to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures set forth in the tables captioned "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Calculation of Billings" and "Disaggregation of Billings and Revenue" included in the appendix hereto, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Endnotes

• 1. Global 2000 (G2K) and Forbes 100 customer counts reflect yearly update to the members of both lists as reported by Forbes. Cumulative worldwide end-customer and G2K customer counts reflect

• standard adjustments to certain customer accounts within our system of record, and are rounded to the nearest 10.

• 2. G2K lifetime purchase multiple is defined as total lifetime purchase divided by initial purchase using ACV bookings, for G2K customers that have been customers for over 18 months.

Definitions

ACV Billings, for any given period, is defined as the sum of the ACV for all contracts billed during the given period. Annual Contract Value, or ACV, is defined as the total annualized value of a contract, excluding amounts related to professional services and hardware. The total annualized value for a contract is calculated by dividing the total value of the contract by the number of years in the term of such contract, using, where applicable, an assumed term of five years for contracts that do not have a specified term. ACV Billings is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors as it allows us to better track the topline growth of our business during our transition to a subscription-based business model because it takes into account variability in term lengths. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to ACV Billings, so we have not reconciled the ACV Billings numbers included in this presentation to any GAAP measure.

ACV Bookings, for any given period, is defined as the sum of the ACV for all contracts booked during the given period.

ACV Dollar-based Net Expansion. We believe that our ACV Dollar-based net expansion rate provides insight into our ability to retain and increase revenue from our customers, as well as their potential long-term value to us. Accordingly, we compare the aggregate retained ACV of our customer base at the end of the prior fiscal year, referred as the base ACV, to the aggregate retained ACV from the same group of customers at the end of the current fiscal year. We calculate our dollar-based expansion rate on an annual basis by dividing the retained ACV by the base ACV on a dollar-weighted basis across cohort. Retained ACV is defined as aggregate ACV of a customer base less churn, assuming any active contract expiring during the period is renewed and continues on its existing terms and at its prevailing rate of utilization.

Customer Retention. We define our Customer Retention rate by subtracting our attrition rate from 100%. We calculate our attrition rate for a period by dividing the number of customers lost during the period by the sum of the number of customers at the beginning of the period and the number of new customers acquired during the period.

New ACV with respect to any given contract is defined as (i) if the contract is (A) with a new customer, the aggregate value of such contract excluding professional services, or (B) with an existing customer, the aggregate value of any upsell / expansion under such contract excluding professional services, in each case divided by (ii) the number of years in the term of such contract, using an assumed term of five years for life-of-device licenses.

Run-rate ACV, at the end of any period, is the sum of ACV for all contracts that are in effect as of the end of that period. For the purposes of this calculation, we assume that the contract term begins on the date a contract is booked, irrespective of the periods in which we would recognize revenue for such contract. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to Run-rate ACV, so we have not reconciled the Run-rate ACV numbers included in this presentation to any GAAP measure.

Total Average Contract Term, represents the dollar-weighted term, calculated on a billings basis, across all subscription and life-of-device contracts, using an assumed term of five years for life-of-device licenses, executed in the quarter.

Total Contract Value Bookings, or TCV Bookings, for any given period is defined as the total software and support bookings, as applicable, during such period, which excludes revenue, billings, and bookings associated with pass-through hardware sales during the period.

Note: ACV, ACV Billings, ACV Bookings, New ACV, and Run-rate ACV are performance measures that the Company believes provides useful information to its management and investors as they allow the Company to better track the topline growth of its business during its transition to a subscription-based business model because it takes into account variability in term lengths. TCV Bookings is a performance measure that the Company believes provide useful information to its management and investors as it allows the Company to better track the true growth of its software business by excluding the amounts attributable to the pass-through hardware sales that the Company uses to deliver its solutions. TCV Bookings is not a substitute for total revenue. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to ACV, ACV Billings, ACV Bookings, New ACV, Run-rate ACV, or TCV Bookings so the Company has not reconciled the ACV, ACV Billings, ACV Bookings, New ACV, Run-rate ACV, and TCV Bookings numbers included in this presentation to any GAAP measure.
