Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1: Overview and Basis of Presentation
NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Description of Business
Nutanix, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware in September 2009. Nutanix, Inc. is headquartered in San Jose, California, and together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, "we," "us," "our," or "Nutanix"), has operations throughout North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa.
We are a global leader in cloud software, offering organizations a single platform for running applications and managing data, anywhere. Our vision is to make hybrid multicloud deployments simple and free customers to focus on achieving their business outcomes. Our mission is to delight customers with an open hybrid multicloud platform with rich data services to run and manage any application, anywhere.
Our Nutanix Cloud Platform is designed to enable organizations to build a hybrid multicloud infrastructure, providing a consistent cloud operating model with a single platform for running applications and managing data in core data centers, at the edge, and in public clouds, all while supporting a variety of hypervisors and container platforms. Nutanix Cloud Platform supports a wide variety of workloads with varied compute, storage, and network requirements, including business-critical applications, data platforms (including SQL and NoSQL databases and business intelligence applications), general-purpose workloads (including system infrastructure, networking, and security), and end-user computing and virtual desktop infrastructure services, as well as enterprise artificial intelligence ("AI") workloads (including machine learning and generative AI workloads) and cloud native applications (including modern, containerized applications).
Our business is organized into a single operating and reportable segment. Our subscription-based business model provides our customers with the flexibility to choose their preferred license levels and durations based on their specific business needs. A subscription-based business model means one in which our products, including associated support and entitlement arrangements, are sold with a defined duration. Our solutions are primarily sold through channel partners and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") (collectively, "Partners") and delivered directly to our end customers.
Principles of Consolidation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Nutanix, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and are consistent in all material respects with those included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on September 19, 2024. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of our quarterly results. The consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2024 is derived from audited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such management estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the best estimate of selling prices for products and related support; useful lives and recoverability of intangible assets and property and equipment; allowance for credit losses; determination of fair value of stock-based awards; accounting for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions; purchase commitment liabilities to our contract manufacturers; sales commissions expense and the period of benefit for deferred commissions; whether an arrangement is or contains a lease; the incremental borrowing rate to measure the present value of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; the inputs used to determine the fair value of the contingent liability associated with the conversion feature of the previously outstanding 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"); and contingencies and litigation. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Concentration of Risk
Concentration of revenue and accounts receivable— We sell our products primarily through our Partners and occasionally directly to end customers. For the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2024, no end customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue or accounts receivable.
For each significant Partner, revenue as a percentage of total revenue and accounts receivable as a percentage of total accounts receivable, net are as follows:
| Revenue · Accounts Receivable as of | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Three Months EndedOctober 31, · July 31,2024 · October 31,2024 | ||||||||
| Partners · 2023 · 2024 | ||||||||
| Partner A | (1) | 13% | 16% | 13% | ||||
| Partner B | (1) | (1) | (1) | 11% | ||||
| Partner C | (1) | (1) | (1) | 10% | ||||

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on September 19, 2024, that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued accounting standards update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted and requires application on a fully retrospective basis. This new ASU will be effective for us beginning with our Form 10-K for fiscal 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides for improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This new ASU will be effective for us beginning in fiscal 2026. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disaggregated disclosures in the notes to financial statements for certain categories of expenses that are included on the face of the statement of operations. This new ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This new ASU will be effective for us beginning in fiscal 2028. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our disclosures.
NOTE 2. REVENUE, DEFERRED REVENUE AND DEFERRED COMMISSIONS
Disaggregation of Revenue and Revenue Recognition
Nutanix Cloud Platform can be deployed in core data centers, at the edge, or in public clouds, running on a variety of qualified hardware platforms (including out Nutanix-branded NX hardware line), in popular public cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services ("AWS") and Microsoft Azure through Nutanix Cloud Clusters, or, in the case of our cloud-based software and software-as-a-service ("SaaS") offerings, via hosted service. Our subscription term-based licenses are sold separately, or can also be sold alongside configured-to-order servers. Our subscription term-based licenses typically have durations ranging fromone tofive years. Our cloud-based SaaS subscriptions generally have durations extending up to five years.
The following table depicts the disaggregation of revenue by revenue type, consistent with how we evaluate our financial performance:
| Three Months EndedOctober 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2024 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Subscription | $479,478 | $560,696 |
| Professional services | 22,835 | 27,285 |
| Other non-subscription product | 8,741 | 2,975 |
| Total revenue | $511,054 | $590,956 |
Subscription revenue — Subscription revenue includes any performance obligation which has a defined term and is generated from the sales of software entitlement and support subscriptions, subscription software licenses and cloud-based SaaS offerings.
Ratable—We recognize revenue from software entitlement and support subscriptions and SaaS offerings ratably over the contractual service period, the substantial majority of which relate to software entitlement and support subscriptions. These offerings represented approximately$253.5 million of our subscription revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and$274.4 million of our subscription revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2024.
Upfront — Revenue from our subscription software licenses is generally recognized upfront upon transfer of control to the customer, which happens when we make the software available to the customer. These subscription software licenses represented approximately$226.0 million of our subscription revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and$286.3 million of our subscription revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2024.
Professional services revenue —We also sell professional services with our products. We recognize revenue related to professional services as they are performed.
Other non-subscription product revenue —Other non-subscription product revenue includes approximately$8.1 million of non-portable software revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2023,$1.9 million of non-portable software revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2024,$0.6 million of hardware revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2023, and$1.1 million of hardware revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2024.
Non-portable software revenue — Non-portable software revenue includes sales of our platform when delivered on a configured-to-order server by us or one of our OEM partners. The software licenses associated with these sales are typically non-portable and can be used over the life of the server on which the software is delivered. Revenue from our non-portable software products is generally recognized upon transfer of control to the customer.
Hardware revenue — In the infrequent transactions where the hardware platform is purchased directly from Nutanix, we consider ourselves to be the principal in the transaction and we record revenue and costs of goods sold on a gross basis. We consider the amount allocated to hardware revenue to be equivalent to the cost of the hardware procured. Hardware revenue is generally recognized upon transfer of control to the customer.
Contracts with multiple performance obligations —The majority of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price ("SSP") basis. For deliverables that we routinely sell separately, such as software entitlement and support subscriptions on our core offerings, we determine SSP by evaluating the standalone sales over the trailing 12 months. For those that are not sold routinely, we determine SSP based on our overall pricing trends and objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of our contracts, the products sold and geographic locations.
Contract balances —The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for credit losses. A receivable is recognized in the period in which we deliver goods or provide services, or when our right to consideration is unconditional. In situations where revenue recognition occurs before invoicing, an unbilled receivable is created, which represents a contract asset. The balance of unbilled accounts receivable, included in accounts receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $41.1 million and $53.4 million as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2024, respectively.
Our customers are typically invoiced upfront, including invoices for multi-year subscriptions, with payment terms of 30-45 days. We assess credit losses on accounts receivable by taking into consideration past collection experience, the credit quality of the customer, the age of the receivable balance, current and future economic conditions, and forecasts that may affect the collectability of the reported amount. The balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2024 is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Costs to obtain and fulfill a contract —We capitalize commissions paid to sales personnel and the related payroll taxes when customer contracts are signed. These costs are recorded as deferred commissions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, current and non-current. We determine whether costs should be deferred based on our sales compensation plans if the commissions are incremental and would not have been incurred absent the execution of the customer contract. Commissions paid upon the initial acquisition of a contract are recognized over the estimated period of benefit, which may exceed the term of the initial contract if the commissions expected to be paid upon renewal are not commensurate with that of the initial contract. Accordingly, deferred costs are recognized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of revenue recognition allocated to each performance obligation over the entire period of benefit and included in sales and marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We determine the estimated period of benefit by evaluating the expected renewals of customer contracts, the duration of relationships with our customers, customer retention data, our technology development lifecycle and other factors. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed for impairment.
Taxes assessed by a government authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue transactions between us and our customers are presented on a net basis in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred revenue — Deferred revenue primarily consists of amounts that have been invoiced but not yet recognized as revenue and primarily pertains to software entitlement and support subscriptions and professional services. The current portion of deferred revenue represents the amounts that are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of the condensed consolidated balance sheet date.
Significant changes in the balance of deferred revenue (contract liability) and deferred commissions (contract asset) for the periods presented are as follows:
| DeferredRevenue | DeferredCommissions | |
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | ||
| Balance as of July 31, 2024 | $1,872,706 | $358,811 |
| Additions (1) | 612,635 | 39,274 |
| Revenue/commissions recognized | (590,956) | (58,746) |
| Balance as of October 31, 2024 | $1,894,385 | $339,339 |
(1)
Includes both billed and unbilled amounts.
During the three months ended October 31, 2023, we recognized revenue of approximately $244.2 million pertaining to amounts deferred as of July 31, 2023. During the three months ended October 31, 2024, we recognized revenue of approximately $272.2 million pertaining to amounts deferred as of July 31, 2024.
Many of our contracted but not invoiced performance obligations are subject to cancellation terms. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized ("contracted not recognized"), which includes deferred revenue and non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods and excludes performance obligations that are subject to cancellation terms. Contracted not recognized revenue was approximately $2.1 billion as of October 31, 2024, of which we expect to recognize approximately 52% over the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
We report our financial instruments at fair value, with the exception of the 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"). Financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis for disclosure purposes. The carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments not recorded at fair value are as follows:
| As of July 31, 2024 | As of October 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CarryingValue | EstimatedFairValue | CarryingValue | EstimatedFairValue | |
| (in thousands) | ||||
| 2027 Notes | $570,073 | $631,178 | $570,458 | $709,711 |
The carrying value of the 2027 Notes as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2024 was net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively.
The total estimated fair value of the 2027 Notes was determined based on the closing trading price per $100 of the 2027 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period. We consider the fair value of the 2027 Notes to be a Level II valuation due to the limited trading activity.
NOTE 4. BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS
Short-Term Investments
The amortized cost of our short-term investments approximates their fair value. Unrealized losses related to our short-term investments are generally due to interest rate fluctuations, as opposed to credit quality. However, we review individual securities that are in an unrealized loss position in order to evaluate whether or not they have experienced or are expected to experience credit losses that would result in a decline in fair value. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2024, unrealized gains and losses from our short-term investments were not material and were not the result of a decline in credit quality. As a result, as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2024, we did not record any credit losses for these investments.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our investments in marketable debt securities by their contractual maturity dates:

NOTE 5. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
2026 Notes
In September 2020, we issued $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes to BCPE Nucleon (DE) SPV, LP, an entity affiliated with Bain Capital, LP ("Bain"). The 2026 Notes bore interest at a rate of 2.50% per annum, with such interest paid in kind ("PIK") on the 2026 Notes held by Bain through an increase in the principal amount of the 2026 Notes, and to be paid in cash on any 2026 Notes transferred to entities that are not affiliated with Bain. Interest on the 2026 Notes accrued from the date of issuance, September 24, 2020, and was added to the principal amount on a semi-annual basis (on March 15 and September 15 of each year).
On June 6, 2024, Bain delivered a notice of conversion to convert $817.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, representing all of the outstanding principal amount as of that date. Under the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Notes, the conversion was settled by paying the $817.6 million principal amount in cash and delivering the conversion spread of approximately 16.9 million shares of our Class A common stock. The cash portion was settled using a portion of our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
The 2026 Notes were converted in accordance with its original terms and conditions. Upon conversion, because the carrying amount of the conversion option was previously reclassified to equity, the unamortized discount remaining at the date of conversion was recognized as interest expense. The remaining carrying amount of the 2026 Notes was reduced by the cash transferred and then recognized in equity, such that no gain or loss was recognized. In addition, the accrued and unpaid interest as of the conversion date was forgiven pursuant to the terms of the indenture and recognized in equity.
The following table sets forth the total interest expense recognized related to the 2026 Notes:
| Three Months EndedOctober 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2024 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Interest expense related to amortization of debt discount | $9,577 | $— |
| Interest expense related to amortization of debt issuance costs | 1,094 | — |
| Non-cash interest expense | 5,017 | — |
| Total interest expense | $15,688 | $— |
Non-cash interest expense was related to the 2.5% PIK interest that we accrued from the issuance of the 2026 Notes through the conversion date and was recognized within other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and other liabilities–non-current in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The accrued PIK interest was converted to the principal balance of the 2026 Notes at each payment date.
2027 Notes
In September 2021, we issued $575 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2027 consisting of (i) approximately $477.3 million principal amount of 2027 Notes in exchange for approximately $416.5 million principal amount of thepreviously outstanding 0% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") (the "Exchange Transactions") and (ii) approximately $97.7 million principal amount of 2027 Notes for cash (the "Subscription Transactions"). We did not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange Transactions. The net cash proceeds from the Subscription Transactions were approximately $88.4 million after deducting the offering expenses for both the Exchange Transactions and the Subscription Transactions. We used (i) approximately $14.7 million of the net cash proceeds from the Subscription Transactions to repurchase approximately $12.8 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes and (ii) approximately $58.5 million of the net cash proceeds from the Subscription Transactions to repurchase approximately 1.4 million shares of our Class A common stock.
The 2027 Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum, and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1. The 2027 Notes will mature on October 1, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
The 2027 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at our election. Each $1,000 of principal of the 2027 Notes is initially convertible into 17.3192 shares of our Class A common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $57.74 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Holders of these 2027 Notes may convert their 2027 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of the business day immediately preceding July 1, 2027, only under the following circumstances:
(1)
during any fiscal quarter, and only during such fiscal quarter, if the closing price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the then applicable conversion price for the Notes per share of common stock;
(2)
during the five business day period after any consecutive five trading day period in which, for each trading day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the closing price of our common stock and the then applicable conversion rate on each such trading day;
(3)
if we call the 2027 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
(4)
upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events.
Upon conversion of the 2027 Notes, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at our election.
The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued or unpaid interest. Holders who convert their 2027 Notes in connection with certain corporate events that constitute a "make-whole fundamental change" (as defined in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes) are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. In addition, if we undergo a "fundamental change" (as defined in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes) prior to the maturity date, holders of the 2027 Notes may require us to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their 2027 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the repurchased 2027 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
In accounting for the exchange of convertible notes, we evaluated whether the transaction should be treated as a modification or extinguishment transaction. The partial exchange of the 2023 Notes and issuance of the 2027 Notes were deemed to have substantially different terms due to the significant difference between the value of the conversion option immediately prior to and after the exchange, and consequently, the 2023 Notes partial exchange was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The $64.9 million difference between the total reacquisition price paid and the net carrying amount of the 2023 Notes was recognized as a debt extinguishment loss within other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The 2027 Notes consisted of the following:

NOTE 6. LEASES
We have operating leases for offices, research and development facilities, and data centers and finance leases for certain data center equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms ofone year to approximatelysix years, some of which include options to renew or terminate. We do not include renewal options in the lease terms for calculating our lease liability, as we are not reasonably certain that we will exercise these renewal options at the time of the lease commencement. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Total operating lease cost was $9.6 million for thethree months ended October 31, 2023 and $9.0 million for thethree months ended October 31, 2024, excluding short-term lease costs, variable lease costs and sublease income, each of which were not material. Variable lease costs primarily include common area maintenance charges. Total finance lease cost was $1.1 million for thethree months ended October 31, 2023 and $1.2 million for thethree months ended October 31, 2024.

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Commitments
In the normal course of business, we make commitments with our contract manufacturers to ensure them a minimum level of financial consideration for their investment in our joint solutions. These commitments are based on performance targets or on-hand inventory and non-cancelable purchase orders for non-standard components. We record a charge related to these items when we determine that it is probable a loss will be incurred and we are able to estimate the amount of the loss. Our historical charges have not been material. As of October 31, 2024, we had approximately$135.8 million of non-cancelable purchase obligations and other commitments pertaining to our daily business operations, and approximately$80.1 million in the form of guarantees to certain of our contract manufacturers.
Legal Proceedings
We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material to our business or financial condition. From time to time, we may become party to various litigation matters and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.
NOTE 8. STOCKHO LDERS’ EQUITY
We haveone class of outstanding common stock consisting of Class A common stock. As of October 31, 2024, we had 0.2 million shares of preferred stock authorized, with a par value of $0.000025 per share, andno shares issued and outstanding. As of October 31, 2024, we had 1.0 billion shares of Class A common stock authorized, with a par value of $0.000025 per share. As of October 31, 2024, we had 267.8 million shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding.
Holders of Class A common stock are entitled toone vote for each share of Class A common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.
Share Repurchases
In August 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $350.0 million of our Class A common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The authorization has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock, and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. During thethree months ended October 31, 2024, we repurchased 0.3 million shares of Class A common stock in open market transactions at a weighted average price of $58.81 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million. As of October 31, 2024, $198.9 million remained available for future share repurchases under the authorization.
NOTE 9. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS
Stock Plans
We haveone active equity incentive plan, the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"), andtwo inactive equity incentive plans, the 2010 Stock Plan ("2010 Plan") and the 2011 Stock Plan ("2011 Plan") (collectively, the "Stock Plans"). Our stockholders approved the 2016 Plan in March 2016 and it became effective in connection with our initial public offering ("IPO"). As a result, at the time of the IPO, we ceased granting additional stock awards under the 2010 Plan and 2011 Plan and both plans were terminated. Any outstanding stock awards under the 2010 Plan and 2011 Plan remain outstanding, subject to the terms of the applicable plan and award agreements, until such shares are issued under those stock awards, by exercise of stock options or settlement of restricted stock units ("RSUs"), or until those stock awards become vested or expired by their terms.
Under the 2016 Plan, we may grant incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants. We initially reserved 22.4 million shares of our Class A common stock for issuance under the 2016 Plan. The number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan also includes an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning in fiscal 2018, equal to the lesser of:18.0 million shares,5% of the outstanding shares of all classes of common stock as of the last day of our immediately preceding fiscal year, or such other amount as may be determined by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, on August 1, 2023 and 2024, the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan increased by 12.0 million and 13.3 million shares, respectively, pursuant to these provisions. As of October 31, 2024, we had reserved a total of 53.5 million shares for the issuance of equity awards under the Stock Plans, of which 29.7 million shares were still available for grant.
Restricted Stock Units
RSUs settle into shares of Class A common stock upon vesting. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we began funding withholding taxes due on the vesting of employee RSUs by net share settlement, rather than our previous approach of selling shares of Class A common stock to cover taxes upon vesting of such awards. The payment of the withheld taxes to the tax authorities is reflected as a financing activity within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Performance RSUs
From time to time, we grant RSUs that have both service and performance conditions to our executives and employees ("PRSUs"). Vesting of PRSUs is subject to continuous service and the satisfaction of certain performance targets. While we recognize cumulative stock-based compensation expense for the portion of the awards for which both the service condition has been satisfied and it is probable that the performance conditions will be met, the actual vesting and settlement of PRSUs are subject to the performance conditions actually being met.
Market Stock Units
We also grant RSUs that have both service and market-based conditions to our executives and employees ("MSUs"). Vesting of MSUs is subject to continuous service and the satisfaction of certain market-based performance targets. While we recognize cumulative stock-based compensation expense for the portion of the awards for which the service condition has been satisfied, regardless of achievement of the specified targets, the actual vesting and settlement of MSUs are subject to the market-based conditions actually being met.
In August 2023, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of approximately 0.8 million MSUs to certain of our executives. These MSUs have a weighted average grant date fair value per unit of approximately $47.09 and will vest up to 200% of the target number of MSUs based upon our total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder return of companies in the Nasdaq Composite Index over a performance period of approximately 2.9 years, subject to continuous service on each vesting date.
In September 2024, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of approximately 0.4 million MSUs to certain of our executives. These MSUs have a weighted average grant date fair value of approximately $92.22 and will vest up to 200% of the target number of MSUs based upon our total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder return of companies in the Nasdaq Composite Index over a performance period of approximately 3.0 years, subject to continuous service on each vesting date.
Below is a summary of RSU activity and PRSU and MSU (collectively, "PSU") activity under the Stock Plans:

Stock Options
We didnot grant any stock options during thethree months ended October 31, 2024. A total of 0.1 million stock options were exercised during thethree months ended October 31, 2024, with a weighted average exercise price per share of $9.88. As of October 31, 2024,0.2 million stock options, with a weighted average exercise price of $11.84 per share, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.5 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $9.2 million, remained outstanding.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In December 2015, our Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which was subsequently amended in January 2016 and September 2016 and approved by our stockholders in March 2016 (the "Original 2016 ESPP"). The Original 2016 ESPP became effective in connection with our IPO. Our stockholders subsequently approved amendments to the Original 2016 ESPP in December 2019 and December 2022 (as amended, the "2016 ESPP"). Under the 2016 ESPP, the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock available for sale is 13.8 million shares.
The 2016 ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 15% of eligible compensation, subject to caps of $25,000 in any calendar year and 1,000 shares on any purchase date. The 2016 ESPP provides for 12-month offering periods, generally beginning in March and September of each year, and each offering period consists oftwo six-month purchase periods.
On each purchase date, participating employees will purchase Class A common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on (i) the first trading day of the applicable offering period or (ii) the last trading day of each purchase period in the applicable offering period. If the stock price of our Class A common stock on any purchase date in an offering period is lower than the stock price on the enrollment date of that offering period, the offering period will immediately reset after the purchase of shares on such purchase date and automatically roll into a new offering period.
During the three months ended October 31, 2024,0.8 million shares of common stock were purchased under the 2016 ESPP for an aggregate amount of $49.3 million. As of October 31, 2024,9.9 million shares were available for future issuance under the 2016 ESPP.
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of shares purchased under the 2016 ESPP with the following weighted average assumptions on the date of grant:
| Three Months Ended October 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2024 | |
| Expected term (in years) | 0.79 | 0.71 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 5.1% | 4.9% |
| Volatility | 48.5% | 46.4% |
| Dividend yield | —% | —% |
Stock-Based Compensation

| General and administrative | 15,079 | 16,507 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $83,998 | $88,749 |
As of October 31, 2024, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock awards was approximately $792.5 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.5 years.
NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
The income tax provisions of $4.9 million for thethree months ended October 31, 2023 and $6.9 million for thethree months ended October 31, 2024 primarily consisted of foreign taxes on our international operations and U.S. federal and state income taxes. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for our U.S. Federal and state deferred tax assets and a partial valuation allowance related to certain foreign net operating losses.
NOTE 11. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, as their effect would be dilutive. Potentially dilutive common shares include shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, the vesting of RSUs and PSUs, and each purchase under the 2016 ESPP, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt under the if-converted method.
In loss periods, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are the same, as the effect of potential common shares is antidilutive and therefore excluded.
The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is as follows:
| Three Months EndedOctober 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2024 | |
| (in thousands, except per share data) | ||
| Numerator: | ||
| Net (loss) income | $(15,853) | $29,926 |
| Add: Interest expense related to convertible senior notes, net of tax | — | 284 |
| Diluted net (loss) income | $(15,853) | $30,210 |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted average shares, basic | 241,490 | 266,556 |
| Add: Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents | — | 22,273 |
| Weighted average shares, diluted | 241,490 | 288,829 |
| Net (loss) income per share attributable to Class A common stockholders, basic | $(0.07) | $0.11 |
| Net (loss) income per share attributable to Class A common stockholders, diluted | $(0.07) | $0.10 |
The following shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per share for the periods presented, as their effect would have been antidilutive:
| Three Months EndedOctober 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2024 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Outstanding stock options, RSUs and PSUs | 31,190 | 2,668 |
| Employee stock purchase plan | 2,133 | 252 |
| Common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes | 39,059 | — |
| Total | 72,382 | 2,920 |
Shares that will be issued in connection with our stock awards and shares that will be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan are generally automatically converted into shares of our Class A common stock. Common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes represents the antidilutive impact of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes under the if-converted method.
