* Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In our earnings press releases, conference calls, slide presentations, and webcasts, we may use or discuss non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by Regulation G. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to each non-GAAP financial measure used or discussed, and a reconciliation of the differences between each non-GAAP financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure, are included in this press release after the consolidated financial statements. Our earnings press releases containing such non-GAAP reconciliations can be found in the Investor Relations section of our website at ir.dynatrace.com.

Financial Outlook

Based on information available as of February 8, 2024, Dynatrace is issuing guidance for the fourth quarter and updating guidance for full year fiscal 2024 in the table below.

This guidance reflects foreign exchange rates as of January 31, 2024. We now expect foreign exchange to be a tailwind of approximately $10 million on ARR and approximately $13 million on revenue for fiscal 2024. Given recent weakening in the U.S. dollar, this represents an incremental tailwind of approximately $15 million to ARR and $6 million to revenue for the full year when compared to our prior guidance.

Growth rates for ARR, Total revenue, and Subscription revenue are presented in constant currency to provide better visibility into the underlying growth of the business.

All growth rates below are compared to the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2023.

*Prior guidance was issued on November 2, 2023.

**Changes in our guidance metrics are rounded to the nearest 50 bps.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share and free cash flow guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures; in particular, the measures and effects of share-based compensation expense, employer taxes and tax deductions specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted by future hiring, turnover and retention needs, as well as unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
