Current report
Our customers include many of the world’s largest enterprises which deploy the Dynatrace platform to support increasingly complex IT environments. As workloads scale and cybersecurity threats evolve, cloud modernization and rapid AI adoption have significantly increased data volume and complexity, rendering traditional monitoring or observability approaches insufficient for many organizations. We believe this positions Dynatrace to address a significant market opportunity through our differentiated platform, deep cloud ecosystem integrations, and trusted customer and partner relationships.

U.S. Tax Legislation
Current report
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law. The OBBBA contains a broad range of tax reform provisions including immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, and modifications to the international tax framework. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in fiscal 2026 and other provisions effective in subsequent years. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on fiscal 2026. We do not anticipate the provisions effective in future years will have a material impact. We will continue to monitor ongoing developments and guidance and evaluate any potential impact on future periods.

Dynatrace is advancing observability for today’s digital businesses, helping to transform the complexity of modern digital ecosystems into powerful business assets. By leveraging AI-powered insights, Dynatrace enables organizations to analyze, automate, and innovate faster to drive their business forward. Our vision is a world where software works perfectly.
Previous report
Our customer base includes some of the largest global enterprises. These organizations rely on the Dynatrace platform as part of their plans to accelerate the adoption of cloud-native and AI-native initiatives and to address the related challenges of increasing workloads, dynamic environments, and evolving cybersecurity threats. Our ability to provide sophisticated analytics and our advanced automation capabilities support their operational goals in environments characterized by rapid technological changes. Cloud modernization and the dramatic growth in the use of AI have resulted in an explosion of data and a massive increase in its scale and complexity that are untenable for many organizations to manage as they previously did. As a result, we believe the need for comprehensive end-to-end observability, such as the Dynatrace platform, has become mandatory, especially for larger organizations building resiliency into ever more complex environments. We also believe our company has a significant market opportunity based on the technical differentiation of our platform, our ability to integrate successfully into customers’ cloud ecosystems, and the trust that we have built within our customer base and partner ecosystem.

Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 174
Previous report
For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to currently deduct research and development expenses and requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize them over five years for research activities performed in the United States and 15 years for research activities performed outside the United States pursuant to IRC Section 174. This law change has increased our U.S. federal and state cash taxes and reduced cash flows since fiscal year 2024.

Share-based compensation
Previous report
The tax effects of the accounting for share-based compensation may significantly impact our effective tax rate from period to period. In periods in which our share price differs from the grant price of the share-based awards vesting or exercised in that period, we will recognize excess tax benefits or deficiencies that will impact our effective tax rate. The amount and value of share-based compensation issued relative to our earnings in a particular period will also affect the magnitude of the impact of share-based compensation on our effective tax rate. These tax effects are dependent on our share price, which we do not control, and a decline in our share price could significantly increase our effective tax rate and adversely affect our financial results.

We will continue to monitor ongoing developments and evaluate any potential impact on future periods.

•Extend our technology and market leadership position. We intend to maintain our position as a leading AI-powered observability platform through increased investment in research and development, and innovation. We plan to expand the functionality of our end-to-end Dynatrace platform and invest in capabilities that address new market opportunities. For example, in fiscal 2026, we believe we are well positioned to grow our next generation log analytics offering, which integrates logs, traces, metrics, and other core observability and security data types into a single platform, providing customers with greater value than legacy log management solutions that are viewed as too expensive, providing too little value, or largely operating independently from existing monitoring tools. We also plan to evolve our AI capabilities to drive differentiation, with a focus on evolving into an agentic AI platform that can act autonomously to make decisions and take actions without human intervention. We believe this strategy will enable new growth opportunities and allow us to deliver differentiated high-value outcomes to our customers.

•Expand and strengthen our relationships with existing customers. We plan to establish new and deeper relationships within our existing customers’ organizations and expand the breadth of our platform capabilities to provide for expansion opportunities. In addition, we believe the ease of implementation of Dynatrace provides us with the opportunity to expand adoption within our existing enterprise customers, across new customer applications, with cloud-native and development teams, and into additional business units or divisions. We also believe that our DPS licensing model will drive broader consumption of the Dynatrace platform and further expansion opportunities for customers that prefer the flexibility and predictability of pricing under that model. Over 40% of our customer base and more than 60% of our ARR leveraged this flexible, scalable, and transparent subscription approach for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. With access to the full Dynatrace platform, DPS customers are able to adopt Dynatrace more broadly across their IT environments, which can lead to increased consumption.

We are focused on the largest 15,000 global enterprise accounts, which generally have annual revenues in excess of $1 billion and more complex IT ecosystems and cloud environments. At the start of our fiscal 2025, we increased the focus of our sales force on the largest 500 global companies and strategic enterprise accounts. In addition, we plan to expand our reach internationally to what we believe are large, mostly untapped, markets for our company, while leveraging our sector specialization globally.

Our income tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate mainly due to (1) recognition of a deferred tax benefit for the IP Transfer (as defined below), (2) the foreign derived intangibles deduction, and (3) the generation of U.S. foreign tax credits, partially offset by (4) foreign withholding taxes and (5) nondeductible executive compensation. Except for the impact of recognizing the deferred tax benefit for the IP Transfer, we expect these items to continue to affect our income tax rate and income tax expense.
Current wording
Our income tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate mainly due to (1) the net global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) inclusion, (2) foreign withholding taxes, (3) nondeductible executive compensation, and (4) the recognition of royalty income in the U.S. as a result of the IP Transfer (as defined below) in fiscal 2025, partially offset by the generation of U.S. foreign tax credits.

Previous wording
During the year ended March 31, 2025, we completed an intra-entity asset transfer of the global economic rights of our IP from a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary to a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary, more closely aligning our IP rights with our business operations (the “IP Transfer”). The transaction is taxable in the U.S. over a 20-year period. In Switzerland, the transaction resulted in a step-up of tax-deductible basis in the transferred assets, and accordingly, created a temporary difference where the tax basis exceeded the financial statement basis of such intangible assets, which resulted in the recognition of a tax benefit and related deferred tax asset of $320.9 million. We determined the estimated value of the transferred IP based principally on the present value of projected income related to the IP, requiring management to make significant assumptions related to the discount rate and the forecast of future revenues and expenses. The tax-deductible amortization related to the transferred IP rights will be recognized over 10 years. The deferred tax asset and tax benefit were measured based on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years the asset is expected to be realized. We expect to realize the deferred tax asset resulting from the IP Transfer.

Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks detailed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report. However, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, investments, funds available under our revolving credit facility, and cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts, the continued expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced products, seasonality of our billing activities, timing and extent of spending to support our growth strategy, and the continued market acceptance of our products.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $378.1 million in fiscal 2024 compared to $354.9 million in fiscal 2023. The $23.2 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities was driven by increased net income, adjusted for non-cash charges, of $106.9 million, partially offset by unfavorable working capital changes of $83.7 million.
