Previous report

(1)Customer count previously disclosed for prior period has been adjusted to reflect the updated definition of customer as described below under “Number of Customers Over $100,000 in ARR.”

Previous report

To better reflect the structure of our largest enterprise customers, who often have multiple subsidiaries and grow through mergers and acquisitions, we adjusted our definition of a customer in the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2025. Previously, separate entities within a larger organization were counted as individual customers. We now define a customer as an entity, or group of affiliated entities with a shared parent organization, that has ARR of greater than $1,000 at the end of a reporting period. This better aligns with our current go-to-market strategy and how we assign sales representatives to customer accounts. Determinations regarding the relationship between customer entities are primarily based on publicly available information and information supplied to us by our customers, and we have not independently verified the legal relationship between entities in all cases. Our customer count is subject to adjustments for mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, segmentation by geography, and other market and commercial activity.

We define non-GAAP operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense-related charges, lease modification, impairment, and related charges, and legal settlements. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined as non-GAAP operating income (loss) as a percentage of total revenue. We use non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating margin in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating margin provide our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations. The following table presents a reconciliation of our non-GAAP operating income to our GAAP loss from operations for the periods presented (in thousands, except percentages):

Previous wording

Since our founding, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and payments received from our customers. In December 2021, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”), which resulted in aggregate net proceeds of $846.7 million, including proceeds from the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in January 2022 and net of underwriting discounts and commissions. We have generated significant operating losses from our operations, as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $1,641.2 million as of November 1, 2025. We intend to continue investing in our business, and as a result, we may require additional capital resources to execute on our strategic initiatives to grow our business, particularly if we generate negative cash flows in future quarters. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments will be sufficient to support working capital, including our non-cancelable arrangements, and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
