On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“The 2025 Tax Act”) was signed into law. The 2025 Tax Act makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and modifications to the international tax framework. The 2025 Tax Act did not have a material impact on our annual effective tax rate and is expected to reduce our domestic cash tax outflows for the remainder of fiscal 2026. Due to the complexity and various upcoming effective dates of the 2025 Tax Act, we are still in the process of assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements. The final impact may differ from our current estimates based on further analysis, regulatory guidance, and any legislative changes.

Our growth in subscription services revenues attributable to existing customers is further reflected by our gross revenue retention rate of approximately 98% as of April 30, 2025. Our gross revenue retention rate measures the percentage of recurring revenue retained from existing customers and is calculated by taking total annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) of our customers as of the corresponding prior period-end and comparing that to ARR from that same set of customers as of the current period-end. The metric takes into account recurring revenues lost to product or customer churn but does not account for additional revenue earned from add-ons or net expansions, which include volume and price adjustments. Our high gross revenue retention rate demonstrates our ability to maintain our existing customer base and drive strong overall customer satisfaction.

Current wording
Free cash flows were $1.0 billion for the six months ended July 31, 2025, compared to $807 million for the prior year period.

•Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. For business combinations, we generally allocate a portion of the purchase price to intangible assets. The amount of the allocation is based on estimates and assumptions made by management and is subject to amortization. The amount of purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the term of the related amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition and thus we do not believe it is reflective of our ongoing operations. Although we exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets from these non-GAAP financial measures, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.
