(1) Please see Appendix C for a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP EPS growth to the most directly comparable measure reported under U.S. GAAP as well as information regarding how these measures are calculated.

(2) “Backlog” means contracted but unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of November 2, 2024, which includes non-cancellable Flexible Spending Account commitments from customers where actual product selection and quantities of specific products or services are to be determined by customers at a later date, and excludes future sales-based royalty payments from the remaining performance obligations. Approximately 41% of the backlog as of November 2, 2024, excluding non-cancellable FSA, is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months. The majority of the remaining backlog is expected to be recognized in the next three years.

(3) We consider our second-year revenue backlog target to be confidential, and the disclosure of this target would cause us competitive harm. In general, the Compensation Committee sets revenue backlog targets that it believes to be challenging but attainable with considerable effort by our NEOs and employees, and in the absence of significant deterioration in macroeconomic or broader industry conditions.
