the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties.
All statements other than statements of historical fact could be
deemed forward looking, including risks and uncertainties related
to statements about our products, customers, anticipated growth,
go-to-market model, venture investments, outlook, credit
facilities, technology and other key strategic areas, and our
financial targets such as revenue, share count, and IFRS and
non-IFRS financial measures including gross margin, operating
margin, and net income (loss) per diluted share.
We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements made in this press release to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect
new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except
as required by law.
The achievement or success of the matters covered by such
forward-looking statements involves known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. If any such risks or uncertainties
materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our
results could differ materially from the results expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements we make. You should not

events. Forward-looking statements represent our management’s
beliefs and assumptions only as of the date such statements are

Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the
section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Forms 20-F and 6-K
(reporting our quarterly results). These documents are available on
the SEC Filings section of the Investor Relations section of our
website at: https://investors.atlassian.com/.
About Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Our reported results and financial targets include certain
non-IFRS financial measures, including non-IFRS gross profit,
non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income
per diluted share, and free cash flow. Management believes that the
use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides consistency and
comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates
period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations, and also
facilitates comparisons with peer companies, many of which use
similar non-IFRS or non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their
IFRS or GAAP results. Non-IFRS results are presented for
supplemental informational purposes only to aid in understanding
our results of operations. The non-IFRS results should not be
considered a substitute for financial information presented in
accordance with IFRS, and may be different from non-IFRS or
non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
Our non-IFRS financial measures include:
- Non-IFRS gross profit. Excludes expenses related to share-based
compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
- Non-IFRS operating income. Excludes expenses related to
share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible
assets.
- Non-IFRS net income and non-IFRS net income per diluted share.
Excludes expenses related to share- based compensation,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-coupon impact
related to exchangeable senior notes and capped calls, the related
income tax effects on these items, and discrete tax impact
resulting from a non-recurring transaction.
- Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided
by operating activities less capital expenditures, which consists
of purchases of property and equipment, and payments of lease
obligations.
Our non-IFRS financial measures reflect adjustments based on the
items below:
- Share-based compensation.
- Amortization of acquired intangible assets.
- Non-coupon impact related to exchangeable senior notes and
capped calls:
- Amortization of notes discount and issuance costs.
- Mark to fair value of the exchangeable senior notes exchange
feature.
- Mark to fair value of the related capped call
transactions.
- The related income tax effects on these items, and discrete tax
impact resulting from a non-recurring transaction.
- Purchase of property and equipment and payments of lease
obligations.
We exclude expenses related to share-based compensation,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-coupon impact
related to exchangeable senior notes and capped calls, the related
income tax effects on these items, and discrete tax impact
resulting from a non-recurring transaction from certain of our
non-IFRS financial measures as we believe this helps investors
understand our operational performance. In addition, share-based
compensation expense can be difficult to predict and varies from
period to period and company to company due to differing valuation
methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of equity
instruments, as well as changes in stock price. Management believes
that providing non-IFRS financial measures that exclude share-based
compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets,
non-coupon impact related to exchangeable senior notes and capped
calls, the related income tax effects on these items, and discrete
tax impact resulting from a non-recurring transaction allow for
more meaningful comparisons between our results of operations from
period to period.
Management considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure
that provides useful information to management and investors about
the amount of cash generated by our business that can be used for
strategic opportunities, including investing in our business,
making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening our statement of
financial position.
Management uses non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS operating
income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income per diluted share,
and free cash flow:
- As measures of operating performance, because these financial
measures do not include the impact of items not directly resulting
from our core operations.
- For planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual
operating budget.
- To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of
our business.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.
- In communications with our Board of Directors concerning our
financial performance.
The tables in this press release titled “Reconciliation of IFRS
to Non-IFRS Results” and “Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS
Financial Targets” provide reconciliations of non-IFRS financial
measures to the most recent directly comparable financial measures
calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.
We understand that although non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS
operating income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income per
diluted share, and free cash flow are frequently used by investors
and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, these
measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not
consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our
results of operations as reported under IFRS.
