(1) | ARR and revenue are adjusted for constant currency. Constant currency impact is calculated by converting current period results for contracts denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the comparative period, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. | |
(2) | Q4 FY24 was a 14-week fiscal quarter instead of a typical 13-week fiscal quarter. To enable comparability across periods, adjusted revenue and related growth are calculated by multiplying Q4 FY24 revenue by 13/14 to remove the impact of an additional week of revenue recognition in Q4 FY24. |
We report non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). See the section titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation of non-GAAP financial measures and the tables in the section titled “Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
