Second Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Financial Outlook

The Company provides the financial guidance below based on current market conditions and expectations and it is subject to various important cautionary factors described below. Guidance includes the impact from expected foreign exchange headwinds versus the prior year comparable periods.

Based on information available as of May 7, 2025, guidance for the second quarter of 2025 is as follows:

Second Quarter 2025 Ending June 30, 2025:

• GAAP Total Revenues are expected to be in the range of $391 million to $411 million, representing approximately 0.1% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range or approximately -0.5% year-over-year growth on a constant currency basis.
• Total ARR is expected to be in the range of $1.690 billion to $1.714 billion, representing approximately 2.0% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range or approximately 2.1% year-over-year growth on a constant currency basis.
• Cloud Subscription ARR is expected to be in the range of $889 million to $901 million, representing approximately 27.4% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range or approximately 27.4% year-over-year growth on a constant currency basis.
• Non-GAAP Operating Income is expected to be in the range of $93 million to $107 million, representing approximately -12.9% year-over-year decrease at the midpoint of the range.

Based on information available as of May 7, 2025, the Company reaffirms previously provided guidance for the full-year 2025, as follows:

Full-Year 2025 Ending December 31, 2025:

• GAAP Total Revenues are expected to be in the range of $1.670 billion to $1.720 billion, representing approximately 3.4% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range or approximately 3.5% year-over-year growth on a constant currency basis.
• Total ARR is expected to be in the range of $1.755 billion to $1.795 billion, representing approximately 2.9% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range or approximately 2.9% year-over-year growth on a constant currency basis.
• Cloud Subscription ARR is expected to be in the range of $1.019 billion to $1.051 billion, representing approximately 25.1% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range or approximately 25.2% year-over-year growth on a constant currency basis.
• Non-GAAP Operating Income is expected to be in the range of $546.0 million to $566.0 million, representing approximately 3.5% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.
• Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow (after-tax) is expected to be in the range of $540.0 million to $580.0 million, representing approximately -3.3% year-over-year decrease at the midpoint of the range.

The Company's forecast is based upon market-based forward FX rates as of the date of the forecast. On a constant currency basis using FX rates experienced in 2024, the FX impact to fiscal 2025 guidance of expected forward FX rates is as follows:

In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing second quarter and full-year 2025 cash paid for interest estimates for modeling purposes. For the second quarter 2025, we estimate cash paid for interest to be approximately $30 million. For the full-year 2025, we estimate cash paid for interest to be approximately $116 million, using forward rates based on 1-month SOFR and a credit spread of 225 basis points.

In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing a second quarter and full-year 2025 weighted-average number of basic and diluted share estimates for modeling purposes. For the second quarter 2025, we expect basic weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 302.7 million shares and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 306.3 million shares. For the full-year 2025, we expect basic weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 304.3 million shares and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 309.2 million shares. These share count forecasts do not include the impact of any share buybacks the Company may pursue in the future.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow after-tax guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort, as certain items cannot be reasonably predicted because of their high variability, complexity, and low visibility. In particular, the measures and effects of our stock-based compensation expense specific to our equity compensation awards and employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions are directly impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions and unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price, which we expect to have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics

We review several operating and financial metrics, including the following unaudited non-GAAP financial measures and key business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Starting the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, we adjusted certain of our non-GAAP metrics for employer payroll tax expense related to equity incentive plans, as the amount of employer payroll tax expense is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and does not correlate to the operation of our business. The stock-based compensation related employer tax-related expense for comparative periods were immaterial and are not reflected in the prior period balances.

Non-GAAP Income from Operations and Operating Margin and Non-GAAP Net Income exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions starting Q2 2024, amortization of acquired intangibles, expenses associated with acquisitions, sponsor-related costs, expenses associated with restructuring efforts, and facility impairment, and are adjusted for income tax effects. We believe the presentation of operating results that exclude these non-cash or non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss) as adjusted for income tax benefit (expense), interest income, interest expense, debt refinancing costs, other income (expense) net, stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions starting Q2 2024, amortization of intangibles, facility impairment, expenses associated with restructuring efforts, expenses associated with acquisitions, sponsor-related costs and depreciation. We believe adjusted EBITDA is an important metric for understanding our business to assess our relative profitability adjusted for balance sheet debt levels.

Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow (after-tax) represents operating cash flow less purchases of property and equipment and is adjusted for interest payments, sponsor-related costs, expenses associated with acquisitions and restructuring costs (including payments for impaired leases). We believe this measure provides useful supplemental information to investors because it is an indicator of our liquidity over the long term needed to maintain and grow our core business operations. We also provide actual and forecast cash interest expense to aid in the calculation of adjusted free cash flow (after-tax).

Key Business Metrics

Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR") represents the expected annual billing amounts from all active maintenance and subscription agreements. ARR is calculated based on the contract Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. MRR is calculated based on the accounting adjusted total contract value divided by the number of months of the agreement based on the start and end dates of each contracted line item. The aggregate ARR calculated at the end of each reported period represents the value of all contracts that are active as of the end of the period, including those contracts that have expired but are still under negotiation for renewal. We typically allow for a grace period of up to 6 months past the original contract expiration quarter during which we engage in the renewal process before we report the contract as lost/inactive. This grace-period ARR amount has been less than 2% of the reported ARR in each period presented. If there is an actual cancellation of an ARR contract, we remove that ARR value at that time. We believe ARR is an important metric for understanding our business since it tracks the annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all of our recurring contracts, irrespective of whether it is a maintenance contract on a perpetual license, a ratable cloud contract, or a self-managed term-based subscription license. ARR should be viewed independently of total revenue and deferred revenue related to our subscription and services contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items.

Cloud Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue ("Cloud Subscription ARR") represents the portion of ARR that is attributable to our hosted cloud contracts. We believe that Cloud Subscription ARR is a helpful metric for understanding our business since it represents the approximate annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all of our recurring Cloud contracts. Cloud Subscription ARR should be viewed independently of cloud subscription revenue and deferred revenue related to our subscription contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items.

Self-managed Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue ("Self-Managed Subscription ARR") represents the portion of ARR that is attributable to our self-managed subscription contracts. We believe that Self-Managed Subscription ARR is a helpful metric for understanding our business since it represents the approximate annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all of our recurring self-managed subscription contracts. Self-Managed Subscription ARR should be viewed independently of subscription revenue and deferred revenue related to our subscription contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. As we continue to shift our focus from perpetual to cloud, we expect Self-managed Subscription ARR will decrease in future quarters.

Maintenance Annual Recurring Revenue ("Maintenance ARR") represents the portion of ARR only attributable to our maintenance contracts. We believe that Maintenance ARR is a helpful metric for understanding our business since it represents the approximate annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all our maintenance contracts. Maintenance ARR includes maintenance contracts supporting our perpetual licenses. Maintenance ARR should be viewed independently of maintenance revenue and deferred revenue related to our maintenance contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. As we continue to shift our focus from perpetual to cloud, we expect Maintenance ARR will decrease in future quarters.

Cloud Subscription Net Retention Rate ("Cloud Subscription NRR") compares the contract value for Cloud Subscription ARR from the same set of customers at the end of a period compared to the prior year. We treat divisions, segments, or subsidiaries of a company as one customer when defining the Global Parent level. Global Parent customers are determined using Dun & Bradstreet GDUNS identifiers. To calculate our Cloud Subscription NRR for a particular period, we first establish the Cloud Subscription ARR value at the end of the prior year period. We subsequently measure the Cloud Subscription ARR value at the end of the current period from the same cohort of customers. Cloud Subscription NRR is then calculated by dividing the aggregate Cloud Subscription ARR in the current period by the prior year period. An increase in the Cloud Subscription NRR occurs as a result of price increases on existing contracts, higher consumption of existing products, and sales of additional new subscription products to existing customers exceeding losses from subscription contracts due to price decreases, usage decreases and cancellations. We believe Cloud Subscription NRR is an important metric for understanding our business since it measures the rate at which we are able to sell additional products into our cloud subscription customer base.

Revenue Disaggregation

Revenue recognized over time:

• Cloud subscription revenue⁽ⁱ⁾ represents revenues from cloud subscription offerings, which deliver applications and infrastructure technologies via cloud-based deployment models for which we develop functionality, provide unspecified updates and enhancements, host, manage, upgrade, and support, and that customers access by entering into a subscription agreement with us for a stated period.
• Self-managed subscription support and other revenue⁽ⁱ⁾ represents revenues generated primarily through the sale of license support contracts sold together with the self-managed subscription license purchased by the customer. Self-managed subscription license support contracts provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period and include internet access to technical content, as well as internet and telephone access to technical support personnel.
• Maintenance revenue⁽ⁱⁱ⁾ represents revenues from fees for ongoing support and product updates mainly for our previously sold perpetual licenses.

Revenue recognized at a point in time:

• Self-managed subscription license revenue^(i)(iii) represents revenues from customers and partners for the license rights to our on-premise self-managed software during a subscription term. When customers enter into a new subscription contract or renew an existing contract, this revenue is recognized upon the later of when the software license is made available to the customer or the subscription term commences.

Revenue recognized as services are provided:

• Professional services revenue⁽ⁱⁱ⁾ represents revenues from non-recurring fees associated with implementation, education, and consulting services related to our software products.
