Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" safe harbor section below for
information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from these forward-looking statements.
We have not reconciled our estimates for non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP due
to the uncertainty and potential variability of expenses that may be incurred in
the future. As a result, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable
effort and we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable
information. We have provided a reconciliation of other GAAP to non-GAAP
financial measures in the financial statement tables for our third quarter and
first nine months of 2023 and 2022 non-GAAP results included in this press
release.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying
tables contain non-GAAP financial measures, including revenue adjusted for
constant currency, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP sales
and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP
general and administrative expense, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-
GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, non-GAAP net income
(loss) attributable to common stockholders, and free cash flow. This press
release and the accompanying tables also contain certain non-GAAP metrics,
including annual recurring revenue, net dollar retention rates, revenue growth
rates, and related presentation thereof adjusted for constant currency.
We adjust revenue and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a
framework for assessing business performance excluding the effect of foreign
currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period results
for currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the average exchange
rates in effect during the comparison period (for Q3 2022, the average exchange
rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 1.01 EUR and 1 USD to
1.18 GBP), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the
current period (for Q3 2023, the average exchange rates in effect for our major
currencies were 1 USD to 1.09 EUR and 1 USD to 1.27 GBP).
We use these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our
overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual
operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our
business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning
our financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors
consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate
period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. We believe these non-GAAP
measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of
other companies in our industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of
certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to
overall operating performance.
Investors, however, are cautioned that there are material limitations associated
with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. The non-GAAP
measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other
companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for
these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items
excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.
We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial
measures, including the related income tax effect of these adjustments:
* Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation, which
    is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures
    because we believe that excluding this expense provides meaningful
    supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular,
    stock-based compensation expense is not comparable across companies given
    the variety of valuation methodologies and assumptions.

* Employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions. We exclude the amount of employer payroll taxes on equity awards from certain of our non-GAAP
financial measures because they are dependent on our stock price at the time of vesting or exercise and other factors that are beyond our control and do
not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operation of our
    business.
  * Amortization of acquired intangibles. We exclude amortization of acquired
    intangibles, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP
    financial measures. Our expenses for amortization of acquired intangibles
    are inconsistent in amount and frequency because they are significantly

affected by the timing, size of acquisitions, and the allocation of purchase
    price. We exclude these amortization expenses because we do not believe
    these expenses have a direct correlation to the operation of our business.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities,
less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software.
We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity as it measures
our ability to generate cash from our core operations after purchases of
property and equipment. Free cash flow is a measure to determine, among other
things, cash available for strategic initiatives, including further investments
in our business and potential acquisitions of businesses.
Operating Metrics
Number of Customers Contributing More Than $5,000 in ARR. We define ARR as the
sum total of the revenue we would contractually expect to recognize over the
next 12 months from all customers at a point in time, assuming no increases,
reductions or cancellations in their subscriptions. We define our total
customers contributing more than $5,000 in ARR as of a particular date as the
number of business entities or individuals, represented by a unique domain or a
unique email address, with one or more paid subscriptions to one or more of our
products that contributed more than $5,000 in ARR.
Net Dollar Retention Rate. To calculate net dollar retention rate as of a given
date, we first determine Entering ARR, which is ARR from the population of our
customers as of 12 months prior to the end of the reporting period. We then
calculate the Ending ARR from the same set of customers as of the end of the
reporting period. We then divide the Ending ARR by the Entering ARR to arrive at
our net dollar retention rate. Ending ARR includes upsells, cross-sells, and
renewals during the measurement period and is net of any contraction or
attrition over this period.
We also adjust the above operating metrics, growth rates of customers
contributing more than $5,000 in ARR and related presentation thereof for
constant currency to provide a framework for assessing our business performance
excluding the effects of foreign currency rates fluctuations. To present this
information, the Ending ARR of the current period in currencies other than USD
is converted into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the
comparison period (for Q3 2022, the period end exchange rates in effect for our
major currencies were 1 USD to 0.98 EUR and 1 USD to 1.12 GBP), rather than the
actual exchange rates in effect at the end of the current period (for Q3 2023,
the period end exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to
1.06 EUR and 1 USD to 1.22 GBP).
Forward-Looking Statements

looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and
projections about our business and industry, including our financial outlook and

(1) Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is
determined by giving effect to all potential common equivalents during the
reporting period, unless including them yields an antidilutive result. The
company considers its stock options and RSUs as potential common stock
equivalents but excluded them from the computation of GAAP diluted net loss
per share attributable to common stockholders, as their effect was
antidilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, potentially
dilutive shares of 8.5 million shares were included in the weighted average
shares used in computing non-GAAP net income per share. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2023, potentially dilutive shares of 6.7 million shares
were included in the weighted average shares used in computing non-GAAP net
income per share.
