Previous wording

Many non-U.S. countries are beginning to implement legislation and other guidance to align their international tax rules with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (“OECD”) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting recommendations, an action plan that aims to standardize and modernize global corporate tax policy, including changes to cross-border tax, transfer pricing documentation rules and nexus-based tax incentive practices. The OECD is also continuing discussions surrounding fundamental changes in allocation of profits among tax jurisdictions in which companies do business, as well as the implementation of “Pillar Two”, a global minimum tax. We have analyzed the impact of the enacted tax laws regarding Pillar Two and have determined there is an immaterial impact on the income tax provision for the six months ended January 31, 2026.

We typically invoice our customers annually in advance, and to a lesser extent quarterly in advance, monthly in advance or multi-year in advance. Therefore, a substantial source of our cash is from such prepayments, which are included on our consolidated balance sheets as a contract liability. Deferred revenue consists of the unearned portion of billed fees for our subscriptions, which is subsequently recognized as revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. As of January 31, 2026, we had deferred revenue of $2,355.4 million, of which $1,983.6 million 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. Subscriptions that are invoiced annually in advance or multi-year in advance contribute significantly to our short-term and long-term deferred revenue in comparison to our invoices issued quarterly in advance or monthly in advance.
