This presentation also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which have not been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to,
and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of
limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other
companies may calculate non-GAAP financial 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. Please see the Appendix for
reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents.
Our adjusted revenue is defined as revenue excluding the impact of an additional week of revenue in Q4 FY24 by multiplying Q4
FY24 revenue by 13/14. Since our Q4 FY24 was a 14-week fiscal quarter instead of a typical 13-week fiscal quarter, we believe
that adjusted revenue and adjusted revenue growth rate enable comparability across periods. Our non-GAAP gross profit is
defined as gross profit excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense-related charges, including the amortization of
deferred stock-based compensation expense for capitalized software and employer taxes on employee equity transactions,
included in cost of revenue and non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of total revenue.
We believe that non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin provide useful information to our management and investors
and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations. We define
non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, and non-GAAP general and
administrative expense as sales and marketing expense, research and development expense, and general and administrative
expense, respectively, excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense-related charges, including employer taxes on
employee equity transactions. Non-GAAP sales and marketing margin, non-GAAP research and development margin, and
non-GAAP general and administrative margin are defined as non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and
development expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense, respectively, as a percentage of total revenue.
Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is defined as income (loss) from operations excluding the effect of stock-based
compensation expense-related charges, including the amortization of deferred stock-based compensation expense for
capitalized software and employer taxes on employee equity transactions, lease modification, impairment, and related charges,
and legal settlements. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined as non-GAAP operating income (loss) as a percentage of total
revenue. We believe that non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating income (loss) provide our management and
investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of
operations. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reduced by cash used for purchases
of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenue. Adjusted free
cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding the cash impact of non-recurring capital expenditures associated with the
build-out of our corporate office facilities in San Francisco, California, net of tenant allowances, and legal settlements. Adjusted
free cash flow margin is calculated as adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of total revenue. We believe that these measures
are useful in evaluating liquidity and provide information to management and investors about our ability to fund future operating
needs and strategic initiatives by excluding the impact of non-recurring events.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance financial measures to corresponding GAAP guidance financial measures is not available
on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and potential variability of expenses, such as
stock-based compensation expense-related charges and timing of capital expenditures, that may be incurred in the future and
cannot be reasonably determined or predicted at this time. It is important to note that these factors could be material to our
results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP.

future operating results or financial performance, market size and growth, industry developments and trends, the calculation of
certain of our financial and operating metrics, capital expenditures, plans for future operations, including expansion into new
geographies and products, headcount and productivity growth, macroeconomic conditions, competitive position, technological
capabilities, including AI, inventory capacity and supply chain conditions, customer adoption of and expected results from our
Connected Operations Cloud, including cost-savings and return on investment, and strategic relationships, as well as

“estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “would,” “continue,” “ongoing”, “guidance” or the negative of these terms or other
comparable terminology. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the
times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved, if at all. Forward-looking statements are based on
information available at the time those statements are made, including information furnished to us by third parties that we
have not independently verified, and/or management’s good faith beliefs and assumptions as of that time with respect to
future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from
those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the future events

anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include our ability to retain customers
and expand the Applications used by our customers, our ability to attract new customers, our future financial performance,
including trends in revenue and annual recurring revenue (“ARR”), annual contract value (“ACV”), net retention rate, costs of
revenue, gross profit or gross margin, operating expenses, customer counts, non-GAAP financial measures (such as adjusted
revenue, adjusted revenue growth rate, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, free cash flow, adjusted free cash
flow, and adjusted free cash flow margin), our ability to achieve or maintain profitability, the demand for our products or for
solutions for connected operations in general, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, geopolitical tensions involving China, the conflict in
Israel and Gaza, the emergence of pandemics and epidemics, and other macroeconomic conditions globally on our and our
customers’, partners’ and suppliers’ operations and future financial performance, possible harm caused by silicon component
shortages and other supply chain constraints, the length of our sales cycles, possible harm caused by a security breach or
other incident affecting our or our customers’ assets or data, our ability to compete successfully in competitive markets, our
ability to respond to rapid technological changes, and our ability to continue to innovate and develop new Applications. The
