Previous wording
We continue to focus on several key growth levers, including driving multiple service offering adoption, increasing our penetration with enterprise and international customers and expanding our industry-specific reach with more vertical software solutions. These growth levers often require a more sophisticated go-to-market approach and, as a result, we may incur additional costs upfront to obtain new customers and expand our relationships with existing customers, including additional sales and marketing expenses specific to subscription and support revenue. As a result, we have seen that customers with many of these characteristics drive higher annual revenues and have lower attrition rates than our company average. In addition to these growth levers, our mergers and acquisitions framework has included several acquisitions that accelerate our agentic roadmap, including our recently announced acquisition of Regrello Corp. (“Regrello”). These acquisitions, along with our pending acquisition of Informatica Inc. (“Informatica”), are bringing in key talent and technology to accelerate innovation.

In addition, the expanding global scope of our business and the heightened volatility of global markets expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency markets. Total revenues in the six months ended July 31, 2025 were minimally impacted by foreign currency fluctuations compared to the six months ended July 31, 2024. Our current remaining performance obligation growth as of July 31, 2025 compared to July 31, 2024 was positively impacted by one percent compared to what would have been reported using constant currency rates. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations could impact our near-term results and ability to accurately predict our future results and earnings. The impact of these fluctuations can also be compounded by the seasonality of our business in which our fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter for new business and renewals.

Subscription and support revenues primarily include subscription fees from customers accessing our enterprise cloud computing services (collectively, “Cloud Services”), software license revenues from the sales of term software licenses, and support revenues from the sale of support and updates beyond the basic subscription fees or related to the sales of software licenses.

Revenue from support and updates is recognized as such support and updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the contract term. Changes in contract duration for multi-year term software licenses can impact the amount of revenues recognized upfront. Revenues from term software licenses represent less than ten percent of total subscription and support revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025.
