1. Currency exchange rates assumed in this guidance are based on applying actual exchange rates at the time of booking to current deferred revenue and applying recent average exchange rates to future deferred revenue.
2. Currency exchange rates assumed in this guidance are based on applying prior period weighted average exchange rates to actual results, where applicable, and to estimated future results.
3. A reconciliation of our forward-looking guidance for non-GAAP gross margin with our forward-looking GAAP gross margin is not available without unreasonable efforts as the quantification of stock-based compensation expense, which is excluded from our non-GAAP gross margin and will have a significant impact on our GAAP gross margin, requires additional inputs that are difficult to predict and subject to change.
4. A reconciliation of our forward-looking guidance for non-GAAP operating margin with our forward-looking GAAP operating margin is not available without unreasonable efforts as the quantification of stock-based compensation expense, which is excluded from our non-GAAP operating margin and will have a significant impact on our GAAP operating margin, requires additional inputs that are difficult to predict and subject to change. Our forward-looking guidance for non-GAAP operating margin also excludes $11 million of expenses related to the portion of the acquisition purchase price for certain executives that is being earned over three years if they remain employed; and amortization of acquired intangible assets, which are subject to valuation efforts.
5. We define free cash flow as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
6. For the 2024 fiscal year, we expect to make payments in the amount of $2 million for the 2024 installments of deal consideration holdbacks pertaining to our acquisition of Command E.
7. For the 2024 fiscal year, we expect to incur additional tax payments in the amount of approximately $30 million as a result of the law that now requires certain research expenditures to be capitalized for tax purposes. While there is a possibility that the current tax legislation may be amended or repealed, we are including this impact in our guidance until such time that it is repealed.
8. Includes lease buyout payment related to a portion of our San Francisco office.
