the globe increasingly seek to leverage data to drive better decisions
and outcomes. To address this growing opportunity, we expect to continue

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been
provided in the tables included in this press release. An explanation of
these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP
Financial Measures and Operating Measures.”

First Quarter 2019 and Recent Business Highlights

  • Ended the first quarter of 2019 with 4,973 customers, a 35% increase
    from the first quarter of 2018. Added 277 net new customers in the
    first quarter of 2019.
  • Achieved dollar-based net expansion rate (annual contract value based)
    of 134% for the first quarter of 2019.
  • Acquired ClearStory Data Inc., an enterprise-scale, continuous
    intelligence analytics solution for complex and unstructured data.
  • Expanded our international presence with new office launch events in
    Japan and Dubai.

Financial Outlook

As of May 1, 2019, guidance for the second quarter 2019 and full year
2019 is as follows:

  • Second Quarter 2019 Guidance:

    • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $74.0 million to $77.0
      million, an increase of 44% to 50% year-over-year.
    • Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of
      $(4.0) million to $(7.0) million.
    • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of
      $(0.04) to $(0.09) based on approximately 62.5 million non-GAAP
      weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding.
  • Full Year 2019 Guidance:

    • Revenue is now expected to be in the range of $355.0 million to
      $360.0 million, an increase of 40% to 42% year-over-year.
    • Non-GAAP income from operations is now expected to be in the range
      of $30.0 million to $35.0 million.
    • Non-GAAP net income per share is now expected to be in the range
      of $0.38 to $0.45 based on approximately 68.0 million non-GAAP
      weighted-average diluted shares outstanding and an effective tax
      rate of 20%.

The financial outlook above for non-GAAP income (loss) from operations
and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share exclude estimates for
stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related adjustments,
amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, and certain
non-recurring items. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance
measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a
forward-looking basis primarily as a result of the uncertainty
regarding, and the potential variability of, stock-based compensation
expense, acquisition related adjustments, amortization of debt discount
and issuance costs, and certain non-recurring items. In particular,
stock-based compensation expense is impacted by our future hiring and
retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our Class A
common stock, all of which is not within our control, is difficult to
predict, and is subject to constant change. The actual amount of these
expenses during 2019 will have a significant impact on our future GAAP
financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP
financial guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not
available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Operating Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared
and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP
financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin,
non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss),
non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and non-GAAP weighted-average
diluted shares outstanding. The presentation of these financial measures
is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or
superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance
with GAAP.

We use non-GAAP measures to internally evaluate and analyze financial
results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors
with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of
our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods
where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and
enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies,
many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude
the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based
compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our
non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this item
provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational
performance. In particular, companies calculate stock-based compensation
expense using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective
assumptions.

Acquisition related adjustments. We exclude amortization of
intangible assets and changes in fair value of contingent consideration,
which are non-cash, related to business combinations from certain of our
non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude such expenses as they are
related to a business combination and have no direct correlation to the
operation of our business.

Convertible senior notes adjustments. We exclude the portion of
amortization of debt discount and issuance costs that relate to the
equity component of our convertible notes, which are non-cash, from
certain of our non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude such expenses as
they are non-cash and have no direct correlation to the operation of our
business.

Income tax adjustments. We utilize a fixed annual projected
non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide better consistency across the
interim reporting periods by eliminating the effects of items such as
changes in the tax valuation allowance, excess tax benefits associated
with stock options, and tax effects of acquisition-related costs, since
each of these can vary in size and frequency. When projecting this rate,
we evaluated an annual projection that excludes the direct impact of the
following non-cash items: stock-based compensation expenses,
amortization of purchased intangibles, and the amortization of debt
discount and issuance costs. The projected rate also assumes no new
acquisitions, and considers other factors including our expected tax
structure, our tax positions in various jurisdictions and key
legislation in major jurisdictions where we operate. We used a projected
non-GAAP tax rate of 20% and 23% for 2019 and 2018, respectively. The
non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons,
including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant
changes in our geographic earnings mix including due to acquisition
activity, or other changes to our strategy or business operations. We
will re-evaluate our long-term rate as appropriate.

Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated
with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In
particular, we exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of
intangible assets, and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs
which are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for
the foreseeable future. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different
from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their
usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations
by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from
these non-GAAP financial measures.

Number of Customers. We define a customer at the end of
any particular period as an entity with a subscription agreement that
runs through the current or future period as of the measurement
date. Organizations with free trials have not entered into a
subscription agreement and are not considered customers. A single
organization with separate subsidiaries, segments, or divisions that use
our platform may represent multiple customers, as we treat each entity
that is invoiced separately as a single customer. In cases where
customers subscribe to our platform through our channel partners, each
end customer is counted separately.

Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate. Our dollar-based net
expansion rate is a trailing four-quarter average of the annual contract
value, or ACV, which is defined as the subscription revenue that we
would contractually expect to recognize over the term of the contract
divided by the term of the contract, in years, from a cohort of
customers in a quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior
year. To calculate our dollar-based net expansion rate, we first
identify a cohort of customers, or the Base Customers, in a particular
quarter, or the Base Quarter. A customer will not be considered a Base
Customer unless such customer has an active subscription on the last day
of the Base Quarter. We then divide the ACV in the same quarter of the
subsequent year attributable to the Base Customers, or the Comparison
Quarter, including Base Customers from which we no longer derive ACV in
the Comparison Quarter, by the ACV attributable to those Base Customers
in the Base Quarter. Our dollar-based net expansion rate in a particular
quarter is then obtained by averaging the result from that particular
quarter with the corresponding result from each of the prior three
quarters. The dollar-based net expansion rate excludes contract value
relating to professional services from that cohort.
