We generally invoice our subscription customers at the beginning of the subscription term, or in some instances, such as in multi-year arrangements, in installments. Therefore, a substantial source of our cash is from such prepayments, which are included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue primarily consists of billed fees for our subscriptions, prior to satisfying the criteria for revenue recognition, which are subsequently recognized as revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. As of April 30, 2026, we had deferred revenue of $4.7 billion, of which $3.4 billion was recorded as a current liability and is expected to be recorded as revenue in the next 12 months, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

In February 2026, we completed an assessment of the estimated period of benefit of commissions earned upon the initial acquisition of a contract, or subsequent upsell, and determined that it should increase from four to five years. This change in estimate was effective beginning in fiscal year 2027. Based on the carrying value of the related deferred contract acquisition costs as of January 31, 2026, the effect of this change in estimate for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was a reduction in sales commission expense of $27.9 million. There have been no other significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended April 30, 2026, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2026.

Previous wording

We enter into both single and multi-year subscription contracts for our solutions. We generally invoice our subscription customers at the beginning of the subscription term, or in some instances, such as in multi-year arrangements, in installments. Until we have the contractual right to invoice, these contract amounts are classified as backlog. They are not recorded in deferred revenue or elsewhere in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of April 30, 2026, we had backlog of approximately $4.0 billion. We expect backlog will change from period to period for several reasons, including the timing and duration of customer agreements, varying billing cycles of subscription agreements, and the timing and duration of customer renewals. Because revenue for any period is a function of revenue recognized from deferred revenue under contracts in existence at the beginning of the period, as well as contract renewals and new customer contracts during the period, backlog at the beginning of any period is not necessarily indicative of future revenue performance. We do not utilize backlog as a key management metric internally.
