**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**1. Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies**

***Fiscal Year***

The Company's fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2027, for example, refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.

***Basis of Presentation***

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2026 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's balance sheet as of April 30, 2026 and its results of operations, including its comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three months ended April 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 2, 2026.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include the determination of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the standalone selling price ("SSP") of performance obligations for revenue contracts with multiple performance obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the valuation of privately-held strategic investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the recognition, measurement and valuation of current and deferred income taxes and uncertain tax positions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the useful lives of intangible assets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fair value of certain stock awards issued.

Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as income and expenses to be recognized.

***Principles of Consolidation***

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

***Segments***

The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Over the past few years, the Company has completed a number of acquisitions which have allowed the Company to expand its offerings, presence and reach in various market segments. While the Company has offerings in multiple enterprise cloud computing market segments, including as a result of the Company's acquisitions, and operates in multiple countries, the Company's business operates in one operating segment because most of the Company's service offerings operate on the Agentforce 360 Platform and are deployed in a nearly identical manner. Additionally, the Company's CODM, evaluates the Company's financial information and resources, and assesses the performance of these resources, on a consolidated net income basis. The measure of segment assets is also reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

The Company's significant segment expenses, which are the expenses included in operating income as well as gains (losses) on strategic investments, and other segment items, which includes other income and provision for income taxes, are included in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, further components of the Company's measure of profit or loss, which is consolidated net income, are included throughout the Company's financial statements.

***Concentrations of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Investments***

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company monitors and manages the overall exposure of its cash balances to individual financial institutions on an ongoing basis. The Company's marketable securities portfolio consists primarily of investment-grade securities and the Company's policies limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The Company does not require collateral for accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated credit losses for its accounts receivable balances. This allowance is based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due, an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with delinquent accounts and current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss patterns. The Company records the allowance against bad debt expense through the condensed consolidated statements of operations, included in general and administrative expense, up to the amount of revenues recognized to date. Any incremental allowance is recorded as an offset to unearned revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Receivables are written off and charged against the recorded allowance when the Company has exhausted collection efforts without success.

No single customer accounted for ten percent or more of accounts receivable as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026. No single customer accounted for ten percent or more of total revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025. As of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, assets located outside the Americas were 16 percent of total assets. As of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, assets located in the United States were 82 percent of total assets.

The Company is also exposed to concentrations of risk in its strategic investment portfolio, including within specific industries, as the Company primarily invests in enterprise technology and artificial intelligence companies, as well as system integrators. As of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, two of the Company's privately held investments had carrying values that were individually greater than five percent of its total strategic investments portfolio and represented approximately 37 percent and 35 percent of the portfolio in the aggregate, respectively.

***Revenue Recognition***

The Company derives its revenues from two sources: (1) subscription and support revenues and (2) professional services and other revenues. Subscription and support revenues primarily include subscription fees from customers accessing the Company's enterprise cloud computing services (collectively, "Cloud Services"), software license revenues from the sales of term software licenses and support revenues from the sales of support and updates beyond the basic subscription or software license sales. Professional services and other revenues include professional and advisory services for process mapping, project management and implementation services and training services.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, for example, overage fees, contingent fees or service level penalties, the Company includes an estimate of the amount it expects to receive for the total transaction price if it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.

The Company determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through the application of the following steps:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determination of the transaction price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

*Subscription and Support Revenues*

Subscription and support revenues are comprised of fees that provide customers with access to Cloud Services, software licenses and related support and updates during the term of the arrangement.

Cloud Services allow customers to use the Company's multi-tenant software without taking possession of the software. Revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract term. Substantially all of the Company's subscription service arrangements are noncancellable and do not contain refund-type provisions.

Subscription and support revenues also include revenues associated with term software licenses that provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available. Revenues from term software licenses are generally recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. Revenue from software support and updates is recognized as the support and updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the contract term.

The Company typically invoices its customers annually and its payment terms provide that customers pay within 30 days of invoice. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in unearned revenue or revenue, depending on whether transfer of control to customers has occurred.

*Professional Services and Other Revenues*

The Company's professional services contracts are either on a time and materials, fixed price or subscription basis. These revenues are recognized as the services are rendered for time and materials contracts, on a proportional performance basis for fixed price contracts or ratably over the contract term for subscription professional services contracts. Other revenues consist primarily of training revenues recognized as such services are performed.

*Significant Judgments - Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations*

The Company enters into contracts with its customers that may include promises to transfer multiple performance obligations such as Cloud Services, software licenses, support and updates and professional services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer products or services that are concluded to be distinct. Determining whether products and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as one unit of accounting may require significant judgment.

Cloud Services, software licenses and support and updates services are generally concluded to be distinct because such offerings are often sold separately. In determining whether professional services are distinct, the Company considers the following factors for each professional services agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the professional services, the timing of when the professional services contract was signed in comparison to the subscription start date and the contractual dependence of the service on the customer's satisfaction with the professional services work. To date, the Company has concluded that professional services included in contracts with multiple performance obligations are distinct.

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative SSP basis. The SSP is the price at which the Company would sell a promised product or service separately to a customer. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.

The Company determines SSP by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the Company's discounting practices, the size and volume of the Company's transactions, the customer demographic, the geographic area where services are sold, price lists, the Company's go-to-market strategy, historical and current sales and contract prices. In instances where the Company does not sell or price a product or service separately, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs by using information that may include market conditions. As the Company's go-to-market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to SSP.

In certain cases, the Company is able to establish SSP based on observable prices of products or services sold or priced separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. The Company uses a single amount to estimate SSP when indicated by the distribution of its observable prices.

Alternatively, the Company uses a range of amounts to estimate SSP when the pricing practices or distribution of the observable prices are highly variable. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customer size and geography.

***Costs Capitalized to Obtain Revenue Contracts***

The Company capitalizes incremental costs of obtaining revenue contracts related to noncancellable Cloud Services subscription, ongoing Cloud Services support and license support and updates. For contracts with term software licenses where revenue is recognized upfront when the software is made available to the customer, costs allocable to those licenses are expensed as they are incurred. Capitalized amounts consist primarily of sales commissions paid to the Company's sales force on new and renewal contracts, as well as the associated payroll and benefit costs.

Costs capitalized related to new revenue contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over four years, which is longer than the typical initial contract period, but reflects the estimated average period of benefit, including expected contract renewals. In arriving at this average period of benefit, the Company evaluates both qualitative and quantitative factors which include the estimated life cycles of its offerings and customer attrition. The Company amortizes capitalized costs for renewals over two years based on similar considerations.

The capitalized amounts are recoverable through future revenue streams under all noncancellable customer contracts. The Company periodically evaluates whether there have been any changes in its business, the market conditions in which it operates or other events which would indicate that its amortization period should be changed or if there are potential indicators of impairment.

Amortization of capitalized costs to obtain revenue contracts is included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no impairments of costs to obtain revenue contracts for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value.

***Marketable Securities***

The Company considers all of its marketable debt securities as available for use in current operations, including those with maturity dates beyond one year, and therefore classifies these securities within current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Securities are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income until realized. Fair value is determined based on quoted market rates when observable or utilizing data points that are observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed to determine what amount of the excess, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on securities are recognized in other income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and any remaining unrealized losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity. For the purposes of computing realized and unrealized gains and losses, the cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. Interest on securities classified as available for sale is included as a component of investment income within other income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

***Strategic Investments***

The Company holds strategic investments in publicly held equity securities, privately held equity securities and other investments in which the Company does not have a controlling interest.

Privately held equity securities where the Company lacks a controlling financial interest but does exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Privately held equity securities not accounted for under the equity method are recorded at cost and adjusted only for observable transactions for same or similar investments of the same issuer or impairment events (referred to as the measurement alternative). All gains and losses on privately held equity securities, realized and unrealized, are recorded through gains (losses) on strategic investments, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other privately held investments not classified as debt or equity securities are recorded at cost and adjusted for impairment events, with any associated gains and losses recorded through gains (losses) on strategic investments, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Valuations of privately held securities are inherently complex and require judgment due to the lack of readily available market data. In determining the estimated fair value of its strategic investments in privately held companies, the Company utilizes the most recent data available to the Company. The Company assesses its privately held strategic investments quarterly for impairment. The Company's impairment analysis encompasses an assessment of both qualitative and quantitative factors, including the investee's financial metrics, market acceptance of the investee's product or technology and the rate at which the investee is using its cash. If the investment is considered impaired, the Company estimates the fair value of the investment and recognizes any resulting impairment through the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

Publicly held equity securities are measured at fair value with changes recorded through gains (losses) on strategic investments, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

***Fair Value Measurement***

The Company measures its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, publicly held equity securities and foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value. In addition, the Company measures certain of its strategic investments, including its privately held equity securities, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there has been an observable price change in a same or similar security or an impairment event. The additional disclosures regarding the Company's fair value measurements are included in Note 4 "Fair Value Measurement."

***Derivative Financial Instruments***

The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts with financial institutions to reduce foreign exchange risk associated with forecasted revenues, intercompany transactions and other monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of its subsidiaries. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company began to designate certain forward derivative contracts as hedging instruments in order to minimize the impact of foreign currency volatility on revenues denominated in Euro and Japanese Yen. The Company also uses forward currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, to minimize the Company's exposure to balances primarily denominated in the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real and Japanese Yen.

The Company's derivative financial instruments program is not conducted for trading or speculative purposes. The Company generally enters into master netting arrangements with the financial institutions with which it contracts for such derivatives, which permit net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty, thereby reducing risk of credit-related losses from a financial institution's nonperformance. While the contract or notional amount is often used to express the volume of foreign currency derivative contracts, the amounts potentially subject to credit risk are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties' obligations under the agreements exceed the obligations of the Company to the counterparties. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

For foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value or net settlement are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period(s) the forecasted transactions affect earnings. The notional amount of outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of April 30, 2026 was $1.4 billion.

For non-designated foreign currency derivatives, gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value or net settlement are recognized as other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations consistent with the offsetting gains or losses resulting from the remeasurement or settlement of the underlying foreign currency denominated balances. The notional amount of outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as cash flow hedges as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026 was $17.8 billion and $11.9 billion, respectively.

***Property and Equipment***

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of those assets as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Buildings and building improvements | 10 to 40 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Computers, equipment and software | 3 to 5 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Leasehold improvements | Shorter of the estimated lease term or 10 years |

---

The Company estimates the useful lives of property and equipment upon initial recognition and periodically evaluates the useful lives and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the useful lives.

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from their respective accounts and any loss on such retirement is reflected in operating expenses.

***Leases***

The Company has entered into operating and finance leases for corporate offices, data centers, and equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classifies its leases at commencement. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Assets (also referred to as ROU assets) and liabilities recognized from finance leases are included in property and equipment, accrued expenses and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

the lease term. The corresponding lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less for any asset classes.

Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement, net of any future tenant incentives. The Company has lease agreements which contain both lease and non-lease components, which it has elected to combine for all asset classes. As such, minimum lease payments include fixed payments for non-lease components within a lease agreement but exclude variable lease payments not dependent on an index or rate, such as common area maintenance, operating expenses, utilities, or other costs that are subject to fluctuation from period to period. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Periods beyond the noncancellable term of the lease are included in the measurement of the lease liability only when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the associated extension option or waive the termination option. The Company reassesses the lease term if and when a significant event or change in circumstances occurs within the control of the Company. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the net present value of future minimum lease payments is determined using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company's incremental borrowing rate is an estimate of the interest rate the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, in the economic environment where the leased asset is located.

The lease ROU asset is recognized based on the lease liability, adjusted for any rent payments or initial direct costs incurred or tenant incentives received prior to commencement.

Lease expense for operating leases, which includes amortization expense of ROU assets, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Amortization expense of finance lease ROU assets is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest expense for finance lease liabilities is recognized based on the incremental borrowing rate. Expense for variable lease payments is recognized as incurred.

On the lease commencement date, the Company also establishes assets and liabilities for the present value of estimated future costs to retire long-lived assets at the termination or expiration of a lease. Such assets are included in property and equipment, net and are amortized over the lease term.

The Company has entered into subleases or has made decisions and taken actions to sublease or discontinue use of certain leased assets. Similar to other long-lived assets discussed below, management tests ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. For leased assets, such circumstances would include the decision to discontinue use prior to the end of the minimum lease term or subleases, in the case of office space, for which estimated cash flows do not fully cover the costs of the associated lease.

***Intangible Assets Acquired through Business Combinations***

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Each period, the Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful life of its intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.

***Impairment Assessment***

The Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, including, but not limited to, significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions or other events that indicate an asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of each asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the test for recoverability are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.

The Company evaluates and tests the recoverability of its goodwill for impairment annually during its fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more often if and when circumstances indicate that goodwill may not be recoverable.

***Business Combinations***

The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company's estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions, tax-related valuation allowances and pre-acquisition contingencies are initially recorded in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. The Company continues to collect information and reevaluates these estimates and assumptions quarterly and records any adjustments to the Company's preliminary estimates to goodwill provided that the Company is within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

In the event the Company acquires an entity with which the Company has a preexisting relationship, the Company will generally recognize a gain or loss to settle that relationship as of the acquisition date within operating income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the event that the Company acquires an entity in which the Company previously held a strategic investment, the difference between the fair value of the shares as of the date of the acquisition and the carrying value of the strategic investment is recorded as a gain or loss and recorded within gains (losses) on strategic investments, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

***Restructuring***

The Company generally recognizes employee severance costs when payments are probable and amounts are estimable or when notification occurs, depending on the region where an employee works. Costs related to contracts without future benefit or contract termination are recognized at the earlier of the contract termination or the cease-use dates. Other exit-related costs, including data center exits and office space reductions, are recognized as incurred once management approval is obtained and operations have ceased.

***Stock-Based Compensation Expense***

Stock-based compensation expense is measured based on grant date at fair value using the grant date closing stock price for restricted stock units and restricted stock awards and using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options and shares issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, stock options and shares issued pursuant to the ESPP on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting term of four years for restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and stock options, and the 12-month offering period for shares issued pursuant to the ESPP. The estimated forfeiture rate applied is based on historical forfeiture rates.

The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units and performance-based stock options to executive officers and other members of senior management, which include awards with service and market conditions and awards with service and performance conditions. Stock-based compensation expense related to awards with a market condition are measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and the expense related to these awards is recognized on a graded-vesting basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting term. Stock-based compensation expense related to awards with a performance condition are measured based on the grant date closing stock price and the expense related to these awards is recognized based on the requisite service period elapsed, as well as the probability of achievement and estimated attainment of the performance condition as of the end of our reporting period.

***Income Taxes***

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company's tax positions are subject to income tax audits by multiple tax jurisdictions throughout the world. The Company recognizes the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination by the taxing authority, solely based on its technical merits. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit which is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision.

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realized based on the weighting of positive and negative evidence. Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character (for example, ordinary income or capital gain) within the carryback or carryforward periods available under the applicable tax law. The Company regularly reviews the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. The Company's judgments regarding future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute its business plans. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.

***Foreign Currency Translation***

The functional currency of the Company's major foreign subsidiaries is generally the local currency. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Equity transactions are translated using

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

***Warranties and Indemnification***

The Company's arrangements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if its products or services infringe on a third party's intellectual property rights. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any material liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person's service as a director or officer, including any action by the Company, arising out of that person's services as the Company's director or officer or that person's services provided to any other company or enterprise at the Company's request. The Company maintains director and officer insurance coverage that would generally enable the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company may also be subject to indemnification obligations by law with respect to the actions of its employees under certain circumstances and in certain jurisdictions.

***New Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption***

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires disaggregation of certain costs in a separate note to the financial statements, such as the amounts of employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, included in each relevant expense caption in annual and interim consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"), which provides targeted improvements to the accounting for internal-use software costs by replacing the existing project-stage model with a principles-based approach to determine when capitalization of costs should begin. ASU 2025-06 is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2025-06 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

***Reclassifications***

Reclassifications to the prior period were made to conform to the current period presentation in the Disaggregation of Revenue in Note 2 "Revenues" beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. This reclassification did not affect total subscription and support revenue.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total Revenue | $11133 | $9829 |

---

Revenues by geography are determined based on the region of the Company's contracting entity, which may be different than the region of the customer. Americas revenue attributed to the United States was approximately 92 percent and 93 percent during the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. No other country represented more than ten percent of total revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.

***Contract Balances***

*Contract Assets*

The Company records a contract asset when revenue recognized on a contract exceeds the billings. Contract assets were $905 million as of April 30, 2026 as compared to $818 million as of January 31, 2026. Current portions of the contract asset balance, are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and the noncurrent portion is presented within deferred tax assets and other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

*Unearned Revenue*

Unearned revenue represents amounts that have been invoiced in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as revenue when transfer of control to customers has occurred or services have been provided. The unearned revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, noncancellable subscription agreements. The unearned revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration, invoice timing, dollar size and new business linearity within the quarter.

The change in unearned revenue was as follows (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended April 30,** | **Three Months Ended April 30,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |

| Unearned revenue, end of period | $20363 | $17799 |

---

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other includes, for example, the impact of foreign currency translation as well as contributions from contract assets and business combinations.

The majority of revenue recognized for these services is from the beginning of period unearned revenue balance.

Revenue recognized over time primarily includes Cloud Services subscription and support revenue, which is generally recognized ratably over time, and professional services and other revenue, which is generally recognized ratably or as delivered.

Revenue recognized at a point in time substantially consists of term software licenses.

***Remaining Performance Obligation***

Remaining performance obligation represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized and includes unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation is based on SSP. Remaining performance obligation is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the timing of renewals, the timing of term license deliveries, average contract terms and foreign currency exchange rates. Remaining performance obligation is also impacted by acquisitions. Unbilled portions of the remaining performance obligation denominated in foreign currencies are revalued each period based on the period end exchange rates. Remaining performance obligation is subject to future economic risks, including bankruptcies, regulatory changes and other market factors.

The Company excludes amounts related to performance obligations from professional services contracts that are billed and recognized on a time and materials basis.

**4. Fair Value Measurement**

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

**Level 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

**Level 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Significant other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

**Level 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

All of the Company's cash equivalents, marketable securities and foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 because these assets are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing observable market inputs.

***Strategic Investments Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis***

Substantially all of the Company's privately held equity securities and other investments are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The estimation of fair value for these investments requires the use of significant unobservable inputs, and as a result, the Company deems these assets as Level 3 within the fair value measurement framework. For privately held equity investments without a readily determinable fair value, the Company applies valuation methods based on information available, including the market approach, the common stock equivalent method, and option pricing models ("OPM"). Observable transactions, such as the issuance of new equity by an investee, are indicators of investee enterprise value and are used to estimate the fair value of the privately held equity investments. An OPM may be utilized to allocate value to the various classes of securities of the investee, including classes owned by the Company. Such information, available to the Company from investee companies, is supplemented with estimates such as volatility, expected time to liquidity and the rights and obligations of the securities the Company holds. When indicators of impairment are observed for privately held equity securities, the Company generally uses the market approach to estimate the fair value of its investment, giving consideration to the latest observable transactions, as well as the investee's current and projected financial performance and other significant inputs and assumptions, including estimated time to exit, selection and analysis of guideline public companies and the rights and obligations of the securities the Company holds. The Company's privately held equity securities and other investments amounted to approximately $7.8 billion and $7.6 billion as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively.

**5. Leases and Other Commitments** 

***Leases***

Total operating lease costs were $146 million and $147 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Included in operating lease costs are amounts related to restructuring charges.

As of April 30, 2026, the maturities of lease liabilities under noncancellable operating and finance leases were as follows (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Less: Imputed interest | (344) | (54) |
| Total | $2604 | $664 |

---

The total lease commitment balance as of April 30, 2026, including leases not yet commenced, is $4.4 billion, of which approximately $3.7 billion is related to facilities space. The remaining commitment amount is primarily related to equipment.

***Other Balance Sheet Accounts***

**6. Business Combinations**

*Qualified.com, Inc.*

In April 2026, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Qualified.com, Inc. ("Qualified"), a leading provider of agentic artificial intelligence marketing solutions. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for Qualified was $1.2 billion, which consisted primarily of $1.1 billion in cash. The Company recorded $954 million of goodwill in connection with the acquisition, which is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce and expanded market opportunities. The goodwill associated with the acquisition of Qualified has no basis and is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The Company also recorded approximately $290 million of intangible assets for developed technology and customer relationships with useful lives of five and eight years, respectively. The fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management's estimates and assumptions and may be subject to change as additional information is received and certain tax returns are finalized. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. The Company has included the financial results of Qualified, which were not material, in its condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were also not material.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The contractual interest rate represents the weighted-average for the period outstanding.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of April 30, 2026.

The carrying amount of the Company's 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below) approximates fair value as it bears interest at a floating rate that resets frequently and reflects current market spreads for similar credit risk profiles. The fair value of the term loan is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The total estimated fair value of the Company's outstanding senior unsecured notes (the "Senior Notes") above was $31.4 billion and $6.7 billion as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively. The fair value was determined based on the closing trading price per $100 of the Senior Notes as of the last day of trading of the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and the last day of trading of fiscal 2026, and are deemed Level 2 liabilities within the fair value measurement framework.

***Revolving Credit Facility***

In October 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement with the lenders and issuing lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Revolving Loan Credit Agreement"). The Revolving Loan Credit Agreement provides for a $5.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") and matures in October 2029. The Company may use the proceeds of future borrowings under the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility as of April 30, 2026.

***2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement***

In March 2026, the Company entered into a $6.0 billion five-year senior unsecured term loan credit agreement (the "2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement"). The Company used the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement to refinance and extend the maturities of the outstanding principal amounts under its existing $4.0 billion 364-day Credit Agreement and $2.0 billion Three-year Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Informatica Credit Agreements"). This non-cash financing activity has been excluded from the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement matures in March 2031. As of April 30, 2026, the entire $6.0 billion principal amount was outstanding under the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement.

***March 2026 Notes***

In March 2026, the Company issued $25.0 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured Senior Notes (collectively, the "March 2026 Notes"), with maturities ranging from 2028 to 2066. The proceeds from this offering, net of discounts and debt issuance costs, was $24.8 billion. Interest on each of the March 2026 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The Company may redeem any portion of the March 2026 Notes, either in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain early redemption provisions.

The Company used the net proceeds from the March 2026 Notes to fund an accelerated share repurchase program of its common stock. For more information regarding the accelerated share repurchase program, see Note 9 "Stockholders' Equity."

---

The aggregate expected stock-based compensation expense remaining to be recognized reflects only outstanding stock awards as of April 30, 2026 and assumes no forfeiture activity and no changes in the expected level of attainment of performance share grants based on the Company's financial performance relative to certain targets.

***Share Repurchase Program***

The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a program to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock (the "Share Repurchase Program"), which commenced in August 2022. In February 2026, the Board authorized $50.0 billion in share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program, which is inclusive of the accelerated share repurchase described below and replaces the previous remaining unpurchased authorization. The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration date and does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. Under the Share Repurchase Program, shares of common stock may be repurchased using a variety of methods, including privately negotiated and or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as part of accelerated share repurchases and other methods. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases are determined by the Company in its discretion and depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

In March 2026, the Company entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (the "ASR Agreements") with several financial institutions to repurchase an aggregate $25.0 billion of its common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreements, the Company made up-front payments totaling $25.0 billion and received an initial delivery of approximately 103 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $198.34. The initial share delivery represented approximately 80 percent of the total shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreements. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company recorded $20.6 billion to treasury stock for the cost of the delivered shares as well as associated fees and excise taxes. A $4.6 billion reduction to additional paid-in capital was recorded for the unsettled portion of the ASR Agreements as forward contract components classified within stockholders' equity.

In addition to share repurchases under the ASR Agreements, the Company repurchased the following shares of its common stock in the open market, (in millions, except average price per share):

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

| Three months ended April 30 | 11 | $192.00 | $2145 | 10 | $273.42 | $2681 |

---

As of April 30, 2026, the Company was authorized to purchase a remaining $22.9 billion of its common stock under the Share Repurchase Program.

***Dividends***

The Company announced the following dividends:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Record Date** | **Payment Date** | **Dividend per Share** | **Amount<br>(in millions)** |
| Three months ended April 30, 2026 | April 9, 2026 | April 23, 2026 | $0.440 | $374 |
| Three months ended April 30, 2025 | April 10, 2025 | April 24, 2025 | $0.416 | $406 |

**10. Income Taxes**

***Effective Tax Rate***

The Company computes its year-to-date provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. For the three months ended April 30, 2026, the Company reported a tax provision of $614 million on pretax income of $2.7 billion, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 23 percent. The Company's effective tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to state and local taxes and non-deductible items, partially offset by research and development credits.

For the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company reported a tax provision of $433 million on pretax income of $2.0 billion, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 22 percent. The Company's effective tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to state and local taxes and non-deductible items, partially offset by research and development credits.

***Unrecognized Tax Benefits and Other Considerations***

The Company records liabilities related to its uncertain tax positions. Tax positions for the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income tax audits by multiple tax jurisdictions throughout the world. Certain prior year tax returns are currently being examined by various taxing authorities in countries including the United States, Germany, Israel, and India. The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves for its income tax uncertainties in all open tax years. As the outcome of the tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty, if any issues addressed in the Company's tax audits are resolved in a manner inconsistent with management's expectations, the Company could adjust its provision for income taxes in the future.

**11. Net Income Per Share**

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the fiscal period. Diluted net income per share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted average dilutive common stock, including options and restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

A reconciliation of the denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| 1 | **Three Months Ended April 30,** | **Three Months Ended April 30,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** |
| **Numerator:** |  |  |
| Net income | $2107 | $1541 |
| **Denominator:** |  |  |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding for basic net income per share | 868 | 960 |
| Effect of dilutive securities: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employee stock awards | 3 | 10 |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding for diluted net income per share | 871 | 970 |

---

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted net income per share does not include the effect of the following potentially outstanding common stock. The effects of these potentially outstanding shares, including the unsettled forward contract component of the ASR agreements, were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended April 30,** | **Three Months Ended April 30,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |
| Employee stock awards | 31 | 2 |
| Unsettled component of ASR Agreements | 36 | 0 |

---

**12. Legal Proceedings and Claims**

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is or may be involved in various legal or regulatory proceedings, claims or purported class actions related to alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, corporate and securities, labor and employment, wage and hour and other claims. The Company has been, and may in the future be, put on notice or sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights, including patent infringement.

In general, the resolution of a legal matter could prevent the Company from offering its service to others, could be material to the Company's financial condition or cash flows, or both, or could otherwise adversely affect the Company's reputation and future operating results.

The Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. The outcomes of legal proceedings and other contingencies are, however, inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. At this time, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount or range of possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued, including losses that could arise as a result of application of non-monetary remedies, with respect to the contingencies it faces, and the Company's estimates may not prove to be accurate.

In management's opinion, resolution of all current matters, including those described below, is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial statements. However, depending on the nature and timing of any such dispute, payment or other contingency, the resolution of a matter could materially affect the Company's current or future results of operations or cash flows, or both, in a particular quarter.

***Slack Litigation***

Beginning in September 2019, seven purported class action lawsuits were filed against Slack, its directors, certain of its officers and certain investment funds associated with certain of its directors, each alleging violations of securities laws in connection with Slack's registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the SEC. All but one of these actions were filed in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Mateo, though one plaintiff originally filed in the County of San Francisco before refiling in the County of San Mateo (and the original San Francisco action was dismissed). The remaining action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the "Federal Action"). In the Federal Action, captioned Dennee v. Slack Technologies, Inc., Case No. 3:19-CV-05857-SI, Slack and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in January 2020. In April 2020, the court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss. In May 2020, Slack and the other defendants filed a motion to certify the court's order for interlocutory appeal, which the court granted. Slack and the other defendants filed a petition for permission to appeal the district court's order to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which was granted in July 2020. Oral argument was heard in May 2021. On September 20, 2021, the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court's ruling. Slack filed a petition for rehearing with the Ninth Circuit on November 3, 2021, which was denied on May 2, 2022. Slack filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court on August 31, 2022, which was granted on December 13, 2022. On June 1, 2023, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision vacating the Ninth Circuit's decision and remanded for further proceedings. The Ninth Circuit ordered the parties to submit additional briefing in light of the Supreme Court's decision. On February 10, 2025, the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion reversing the district court's order and instructing the district court to dismiss the complaint with prejudice. On July 10, 2025, the plaintiff filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, which was denied on October 6, 2025. On November 4, 2025, the defendants requested that the district court enter judgment against the plaintiff in the Federal Action. On November 10, 2025, the court entered judgment for defendants and against the plaintiff, which marks the conclusion of the Federal Action. The state court actions were consolidated in November 2019, and the consolidated action is captioned In re Slack Technologies, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Lead Case No. 19CIV05370 (the "State Court Action"). An additional state court action was filed in San Mateo County in June 2020 but was consolidated with the State Court Action in July 2020. Slack and the other defendants filed demurrers to the complaint in the State Court Action in February 2020. In August 2020, the court sustained in part and overruled in part the demurrers, and granted plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint, which they filed in October 2020. Slack and the other defendants answered the complaint in November 2020. Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification on October 21, 2021, which was never ruled upon. On October 26, 2022, the court stayed the State Court Action pending resolution of Slack's petition for a writ of certiorari in the Federal Action. On November 7, 2025, the court lifted the stay in the State Court Action solely to permit plaintiffs to take certain discovery and to file a renewed motion for class certification, if they choose to do so. The State Court Action seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief on behalf of investors who purchased Slack's Class A common stock issued pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement.

***Backpage Litigation***

The Company has been named as a defendant in a number of state and federal actions relating to the activities of one of its former customers, Website Technologies, LLC ("Website Technologies"), an affiliate of Backpage.com, LLC ("Backpage"). Plaintiffs in these actions generally allege that they were victims of sex trafficking by individuals who advertised them on backpage.com, a website operated by Backpage, and assert various claims and theories premised on the Company's provision to Website Technologies of Salesforce CRM Software and related products, which the plaintiffs allege facilitated the operation and growth of Backpage's business. The initial action, filed in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco on behalf of numerous plaintiffs, was dismissed with prejudice under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act ("Section 230"), and that dismissal was affirmed by the California Court of Appeal in December 2021. In April 2020, an action involving a single plaintiff was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, G.G. v. Salesforce, Inc., Case No. 1:20-CV-2335 ("G.G."). The district court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the action, and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that ruling in August 2023. On June 12, 2025, after discovery had commenced, plaintiff filed a substantially amended complaint. On July 9, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss that complaint. The district court dismissed one of plaintiff's claims in January 2026. Beginning in April 2020, five actions involving six plaintiffs were filed and consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas as A.B. v. Salesforce, Inc., Case No. 4:20-CV-01254 ("A.B."). The Company moved for summary judgment on the basis that the claims were barred by Section 230. In November 2023, the court denied the Company's motion and in December 2024, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that ruling. In October 2025, the district court in A.B. granted the Company's motion pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1595(b) to stay the action pending final adjudication of criminal proceedings involving Backpage.

Since May 2023, a number of similar actions have been filed in federal and state courts, including principally: (1) actions filed by 30 plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, which were consolidated as S.M.A. v. Salesforce, Inc., Case No. 3:23-CV-0915-B ("S.M.A"); (2) actions filed by 21 plaintiffs in Texas state court in Dallas County, which were removed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and consolidated as A.S. v. Salesforce, Inc., Case No. 3:23-CV-1039-B ("A.S."); (3) an action by a single plaintiff filed in Texas state court in Harris County, which was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas as T.S. v. Salesforce, Inc., Case No. 4:23-CV-01792 ("T.S."); (4) an action by a single plaintiff filed in Texas state court in Harris County, which was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas as A.A. v. Salesforce, Inc., Case No. 4:26-CV-00757 ("A.A."); (5) an action filed by a single plaintiff in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas as Jane Doe (C.S.) v. Salesforce, Inc., Case No. 2:25-CV-189 ("C.S."); (6) an action filed by a single plaintiff in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington as M.K. v. Salesforce.com, Inc, Case No. 2:23-CV-435 ("M.K."); (7) an action filed by a single plaintiff in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida as I.H. v. Salesforce.com, LLC, Case No. 8:24-CV-1678 ("I.H."); (8) an action filed by 13 plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois as A.G.B. v.

Separately, 18 actions have been filed by 18 plaintiffs in Texas state court, which are proceeding in a Texas state court multidistrict litigation in Harris County District Court, captioned In re Jane Doe Cases, MDL 2020-28545 ("Texas MDL"). In March 2024, the district court in S.M.A. granted the Company's consolidated motion to dismiss the complaint on the ground that plaintiffs had not alleged the requisite intent element under the federal trafficking statute, and in April 2024 an amended complaint was filed amending the federal law claim and adding a Texas state law claim. In May 2024, the Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint. In March 2025, the district court granted the motion as to the Texas state law claims, dismissed the Texas claim with prejudice, and denied the motion as to the federal law claim. In October 2025, S.M.A. was stayed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1595(b) pending the final adjudication of the criminal proceedings involving Backpage. In September 2024, the district court in A.S. denied the Company's motion to dismiss. In November 2024, the Company moved for judgment on the pleadings. In May 2025, the district court granted that motion with leave to amend. Plaintiffs then filed a consolidated amended complaint, and on June 20, 2025, the Company moved to dismiss that complaint. This motion was pending when, in October 2025, A.S. also was stayed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1595(b) pending the final adjudication of the criminal proceedings involving Backpage. In June 2023, the Company moved to dismiss T.S., and that motion remains pending. In March 2024, T.S. was stayed pending the interlocutory appeal in A.B., which was remanded to the district court in January 2025. The Company filed a motion to dismiss in A.A. in February 2026, and that motion remains pending. In May 2026, the Company filed a motion to stay A.A. under 18 U.S.C § 1595(b) that remains pending. In September 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss C.S. that was pending when the court granted the motion to stay under 18 U.S.C. § 1595(b) in April 2026. Plaintiff in M.K. voluntarily dismissed her claim against Salesforce in May 2024. In December 2025, the district court in I.H. stayed the action pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1595(b) pending final adjudication of the criminal proceedings involving Backpage. The Company filed a motion to dismiss in the G.G. consolidated cases in January 2026 that was pending when the district court granted the Company's motion to stay under 18 U.S.C. § 1595(b) to stay the G.G. consolidated cases pending the final adjudication of the criminal proceedings involving Backpage in March 2026. Plaintiffs in the G.G. consolidated cases filed a motion for reconsideration of the stay order, and that motion remains pending. In March through May 2026, the district courts in A.G.B., J.L.D., and E.Y.W. granted the parties' stipulation to stay the cases subject to the same stay entered in the G.G. consolidated cases. The Company's responses to Plaintiffs' complaints in the Northern District of California are due in May and June 2026. The Company's responses to the served complaints in the Central District of California cases are due in June and July 2026. In the Texas MDL, the Company moved to dismiss certain claims by plaintiffs in this MDL who reside outside of Texas on personal jurisdiction, extraterritoriality, and forum non conveniens grounds in the latter half of 2023. In February 2026, at a hearing on these motions, the court granted the Company's motions to dismiss on forum non conveniens grounds. The Company will be dismissed from B.I.R., C.V., and T.K, in the Texas MDL pending the court's written order. All of the foregoing actions seek unspecified monetary damages, attorneys' fees, and costs. The Company intends to defend its interests in these proceedings vigorously.

**Overview**

Salesforce is a global leader in customer relationship management ("CRM") technology, helping organizations of any size become agentic enterprises. Founded in 1999, we bring humans, agents, apps, and data together on a trusted, unified platform to unlock growth and innovation.

Our platform unites sales, service, marketing, commerce and IT teams by connecting customer data across systems, apps and devices to create a complete view of customers. With this single source of customer truth and integrated artificial intelligence ("AI"), teams can be more responsive, productive and efficient, deliver intelligent, personalized experiences across every channel and increase productivity. We continue to expand the capabilities of our autonomous AI agent layer integrated across our platform. Agentforce enables organizations to deploy autonomous agents that reason, make decisions, and execute tasks. Salesforce is the platform that powers how humans and agents work together, whether using Customer 360 apps, Slack, Headless 360, or other user interfaces. We continue to invest for growth, including investing in generative and agentic AI across all products, which we believe will change how our customers help their customers, and continuously look to expand our leadership role in the cloud computing industry.

We continue to focus on several key growth levers, including driving multiple service offering adoption, increasing our penetration with enterprise and international customers and expanding our industry-specific reach with more vertical software solutions. These growth levers often require a more sophisticated go-to-market approach and, as a result, we may incur additional costs upfront to obtain new customers and expand our relationships with existing customers, including additional sales and marketing expenses specific to subscription and support revenue. As a result, we have seen that customers with many of these characteristics drive higher annual revenues and have lower attrition rates than our company average. In addition to these growth levers, our mergers and acquisitions framework has included several acquisitions that have accelerated our agentic roadmap, including our April 2026 acquisition of Qualified.com, Inc. ("Qualified"), our November 2025 acquisition of Informatica, Inc. ("Informatica") and our October 2025 acquisition of Regrello Corp. ("Regrello"). These acquisitions bring in key talent and technology to accelerate innovation.

We are also focused on reducing our operating expenses to improve our operating margin. We have undertaken various restructuring initiatives to improve operating margins and continue advancing our ongoing commitment to profitable growth, which has included a reduction of our workforce, office space and data centers within certain markets. We continue to evaluate and operationalize future programs to drive further operational efficiencies, optimize our management structure and increase cost optimization efforts to realize long-term sustainable growth. We expect to continue to experience improvements in our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, which could include various restructuring initiatives or measured hiring initiatives to drive operational efficiencies.

**Highlights from First Quarter of Fiscal 2027**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Revenue:** For the three months ended April 30, 2026, revenue was $11.1 billion, an increase of 13 percent year-over-year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Income from Operations:** For the three months ended April 30, 2026, income from operations was $2.3 billion as compared to $1.9 billion from a year ago. Operating margin, which represents income from operations as a percentage

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

of total revenue, increased to approximately 21 percent for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to approximately 20 percent in the prior year period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Net Income per Share:** For the three months ended April 30, 2026, diluted net income per share was $2.42 as compared to diluted net income per share of $1.59 from a year ago. Our $25 billion Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR Agreements") executed in March 2026 resulted in the repurchase of approximately 103 million shares in the period and benefitted our diluted net income per share by $0.14.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Cash:** Cash provided by operations for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was $6.7 billion, an increase of three percent year-over-year. Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of April 30, 2026 was $11.8 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Remaining Performance Obligation:** Total remaining performance obligation, which represents all future revenue under contract yet to be recognized, as of April 30, 2026 was approximately $67.9 billion, an increase of 11 percent year-over-year. Current remaining performance obligation as of April 30, 2026 was approximately $33.6 billion, an increase of 14 percent year-over-year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Dividend Program**: For the three months ended April 30, 2026, we paid approximately $365 million in dividends and dividend equivalents as compared to $402 million from a year ago.

Our diversified product portfolio and global customer base has provided us with operational resiliency across various geographies, products, and industry segments. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we experienced sustained growth in Agentforce Apps and Data 360, bolstered by the acquisition of Informatica.

In addition, the expanding global scope of our business and the heightened volatility of global markets expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency markets. Total revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2026 were positively impacted by approximately two percent in foreign currency fluctuations compared to the three months ended April 30, 2025. Relative to April 30, 2025, our current remaining performance obligation growth as of April 30, 2026 was positively impacted by one percent compared to what would have been reported using constant currency rates. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations could impact our near-term results and ability to accurately predict our future results and earnings. The impact of these fluctuations can also be compounded by the seasonality of our business in which our fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter for new business and renewals.

**Fiscal Year**

Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2027, for example, refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.

**Operating Segments**

We operate as one segment. See Note 1 "Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies" to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

**Sources of Revenues**

We derive our revenues from two sources: (1) subscription and support revenues and (2) professional services and other revenues. Subscription and support revenues accounted for approximately 95 percent of our total revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2026.

Subscription and support revenues primarily include subscription fees from customers accessing our enterprise cloud computing services (collectively, "Cloud Services"), software license revenues from the sales of term software licenses, and support revenues from the sale of support and updates beyond the basic subscription fees or related to the sales of software licenses. Our Cloud Services allow customers to use our multi-tenant software without taking possession of the software. Revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract term. Subscription and support revenues also include revenues associated with term software licenses that provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available. Revenues from term software licenses are generally recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. Revenue from support and updates is recognized as such support and updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the contract term. Changes in contract duration for multi-year term software licenses can impact the amount of revenues recognized upfront. Revenues from term software licenses represent less than ten percent of total subscription and support revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2026.

The revenue growth rates of each of our service offerings, as described below in "Results of Operations," fluctuate from quarter to quarter and over time. Additionally, we manage the total balanced product portfolio to deliver solutions to our customers and, as a result, the revenue result for each offering is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter. In addition, some of our Cloud Service offerings have similar features and functions. For example, customers may use our Sales, Service or Platform service offerings to record account and contact information, which are similar features across these service offerings. Depending on a customer's actual and projected business requirements, more than one

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

service offering may satisfy the customer's current and future needs. We record revenue based on the individual products ordered by a customer, not according to the customer's business requirements and usage.

Our growth in revenues is also impacted by attrition. Attrition represents the reduction or loss of the annualized value of our contracts with customers. We calculate our attrition rate at a point in time on a trailing twelve-month basis as of the end of each month. In general, we exclude service offerings from acquisitions from our attrition calculation until they are fully integrated into our customer success organization. As of April 30, 2026, our attrition rate, excluding Slack self-service, Informatica, and current year acquisitions, was approximately eight percent.

We continue to maintain a variety of customer programs and initiatives, which, along with increasing enterprise adoption, have helped keep our attrition rate consistent as compared to the prior year. Consistent attrition rates play a role in our ability to maintain growth in our subscription and support revenues.

***Seasonal Nature of Unearned Revenue, Accounts Receivable and Operating Cash Flow***

Unearned revenue primarily consists of billings to customers for our subscription service. Over 90 percent of the value of our billings to customers is for our subscription and support service. We generally invoice our customers in advance, in annual installments, and typical payment terms provide that our customers pay us within 30 days of invoice. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in unearned revenue or in revenue depending on whether transfer of control to customers has occurred. In general, we collect our billings in advance of the subscription service period. We typically issue renewal invoices in advance of the renewal service period, and depending on timing, the initial invoice for the subscription and services contract and the subsequent renewal invoice may occur in different quarters. There is a disproportionate weighting toward annual billings in the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of large enterprise account buying patterns. Our fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter for new business and renewals. The year-on-year compounding effect of this seasonality in both billing patterns and overall new and renewal business causes the value of invoices that we generate in the fourth quarter for both new business and renewals to increase as a proportion of our total annual billings. Accordingly, because of this billing activity, our first quarter is typically our largest collections and operating cash flow quarter. Generally, our second or third quarter has historically been our smallest operating cash flow quarter. Unearned revenues, accounts receivable and operating cash flow may also be impacted by acquisitions. For example, operating cash flows may be adversely impacted by acquisitions due to transaction costs, financing costs such as interest expense and lower operating cash flows from the acquired entity.

***Remaining Performance Obligation***

Our remaining performance obligation represents all future revenue under contract that has not yet been recognized as revenue and includes unearned revenue and unbilled amounts. Our current remaining performance obligation represents future revenue under contract that is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months.

Remaining performance obligation is not necessarily indicative of future revenue growth and is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the timing of renewals, average contract terms, foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in new business growth. Remaining performance obligation is also impacted by acquisitions. Unbilled portions of the remaining performance obligation denominated in foreign currencies are revalued each period based on the period end exchange rates. For multi-year subscription agreements billed annually, the associated unbilled balance and corresponding remaining performance obligation are typically high at the beginning of the contract period, zero just prior to renewal, and increase if the agreement is renewed. Low remaining performance obligation attributable to a particular subscription agreement is often associated with an impending renewal but may not be an indicator of the likelihood of renewal or future revenue from such customer. Changes in contract duration or the timing of delivery of professional services can impact remaining performance obligation as well as the allocation between current and non-current remaining performance obligation.

**Cost of Revenues and Operating Expenses**

***Cost of Revenues***

Cost of subscription and support revenues primarily consists of expenses related to our employee-related costs, which includes salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, delivering our service and providing support, including the costs of data center capacity, certain fees paid to various third parties for the use of their technology, services and data, and allocated overhead. Our cost of subscription and support revenues also includes amortization of certain acquisition-related intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company's developed technology. Also included in the cost of subscription and support revenues are expenses incurred supporting the free user base of Slack, including third-party hosting costs and employee-related costs specific to customer experience and technical operations.

Cost of professional services and other revenues consists primarily of employee-related costs associated with these services, the cost of subcontractors, certain third-party fees and allocated overhead. We believe that our professional services organization facilitates the adoption of our service offerings, helps us to secure larger subscription revenue contracts and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

supports our customers' success. The cost of professional services may exceed revenues from professional services in future fiscal periods.

***Research and Development***

Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs for our engineering staff associated with product development, as well as allocated overhead.

***Sales and Marketing*** 

Sales and marketing expenses make up the majority of our operating expenses and consist primarily of employee-related costs and commissions for our sales and marketing staff, as well as payments to partners, marketing programs and allocated overhead. Marketing programs consist of advertising, events, corporate communications, brand building and product marketing activities. We capitalize certain costs to obtain customer contracts, such as commissions, and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis. As such, the timing of expense recognition for these commissions is not consistent with the timing of the associated cash payment.

Our sales and marketing expenses include amortization of certain acquisition-related intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company's trade names, customer lists and customer relationships.

***General and Administrative*** 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs for finance and accounting, legal, internal audit, human resources and management information systems personnel, as well as professional services fees and allocated overhead.

We allocate overhead such as information technology infrastructure, rent, occupancy charges and certain employee benefits based on headcount. As such, these types of expenses are reflected in each cost of revenue and operating expense category.

***Restructuring***

Restructuring consists of charges related to employee transition, severance payments, employee benefits and stock-based compensation, as well as impairment charges associated with data center exits and office space reductions. Restructuring excludes allocated overhead.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 1 "Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies" to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies and specific estimates involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies and estimates we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the standalone selling price ("SSP") of performance obligations for revenue contracts with multiple performance obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the valuation of privately held strategic investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the recognition, measurement and valuation of current and deferred income taxes and uncertain tax positions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the useful lives of intangible assets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fair value of certain stock awards issued.

These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and such changes will be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from these estimates and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

Additionally, refer to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 for further discussion with respect to these policies and estimates.

The comparability of our operating results in the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in fiscal 2026 was impacted by our recent acquisitions, including the acquisition of Informatica in November 2025. In our discussion of changes in our results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to the same period in fiscal 2026, we may quantitatively disclose the impact of our acquired products and services for the one-year period subsequent to the acquisition date to the growth in certain of our revenues where such discussions would be meaningful. Expense contributions from our recent acquisitions for each of the respective period comparisons generally were not separately identifiable due to the integration of these businesses into our existing operations or were insignificant to our results of operations during the periods presented.

---

The increase in subscription and support revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was primarily caused by volume-driven increases from new business, which includes new customers, upgrades and additional subscriptions from existing customers. Pricing was not a significant driver of the increase in revenues for the period. Revenues from term software licenses, which are recognized at a point in time, represented approximately six percent of total subscription and support revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025. Subscription and support revenues accounted for approximately 95 percent of our total revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.

The increase in professional services and other revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was primarily due incremental revenue from Informatica which was partially offset by less demand for larger, multi-year transformation engagements, which may continue in the near term.

The acquisition of Informatica in November 2025 contributed approximately $444 million of total revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2026.

Revenues by geography are determined based on the region of the Salesforce contracting entity, which may be different than the region of the customer. The increase in revenues across all regions was primarily due to the continued execution of our business and growth strategy, including increasing our geographic reach primarily through extending our go-to-market capabilities globally. Foreign currency positively impacted the year over year fluctuations in revenue by approximately two percent.

---

For the three months ended April 30, 2026, the increase in cost of revenues in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in service delivery expenses and amortization of purchased intangibles, primarily associated with our acquisition of Informatica. Total cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2026 was consistent with the same period a year ago.

We intend to continue to invest additional resources in our AI, agentic and cloud services to allow us to scale with our customers and continue to evolve our security measures. The timing of these expenses may cause our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues to fluctuate over time due to changes in demand for our service offerings.

For the three months ended April 30, 2026, the increase in research and development expenses in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2026 decreased by one percent from the same period a year ago due to our total revenues growth outpacing our research and development expenses growth.

We expect research and development expenses will likely remain consistent as a percentage of revenue over time as we continue investing in new and existing technologies, including AI, agents, Data Cloud offerings, and the integration of Informatica. Efficiencies realized from the rapid deployment of generative AI technologies will be reinvested to accelerate our product roadmap.

For the three months ended April 30, 2026, the increase in sales and marketing expenses in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, and increased amortization of purchased intangibles, primarily associated with our acquisition of Informatica. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2026 decreased by one percent from the same period a year ago due to our total revenues growth outpacing our sales and marketing expenses growth.

We expect that sales and marketing expenses may decrease as a percentage of revenues over time as we continue to focus on leveraging our self-serve and partner-led channels and increasing our sales productivity, which includes the use of AI and agents.

For the three months ended April 30, 2026, the increase in general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2026 was consistent with the same period a year ago.

We expect that general and administrative expenses may decrease as a percentage of revenues over time as we continue to invest in process efficiency initiatives, which includes the use of AI and agents.

In the three months ended April 30, 2026, approximately $80 million of costs were incurred related to our restructuring initiatives, which was primarily related to employee transitions, severance payments and employee benefits. We do not expect to incur significant additional charges in connection with our restructuring initiatives in the near term.

| Gains (losses) on strategic investments, net | $558 | $(63) | $621 |
| Other income | 133 | 163 | (30) |

---

Interest expense primarily relates to our debt as well as our finance leases. Interest expense increased during the three months ended April 30, 2026, primarily due to incremental interest expense associated with our March 2026 debt offering. We expect this debt offering to cause interest expense to increase as compared to prior year throughout fiscal 2027.

Gains (losses) on strategic investments, net consists primarily of mark-to-market adjustments related to observable price adjustments related to our privately held equity securities, our publicly held equity securities and other adjustments, including impairments. Our strategic investment portfolio continues to be affected by market conditions for companies in which we hold private securities, including the pace of technological change driven by AI and volatility in public equity markets. For the three months ended April 30, 2026, the net gain on our strategic investment portfolio was primarily driven by realized gains on privately held equity investments of $350 million and unrealized gains on privately held equity investments of $328 million, partially offset by impairments on privately held investments of $119 million. The realized gains in the period were primarily comprised of a $268 million gain resulting from the exit of a privately held equity investment. The unrealized gains in the period were primarily comprised of a $268 million mark-to-market gain from one privately held equity investment.

Other income primarily consists of interest income on our marketable securities portfolio. Other income decreased during the three months ended April 30, 2026, primarily due to a decrease in investment income from lower interest rates.

| Provision for income taxes | $(614) | $(433) | $(181) |
| Effective tax rate | 23% | 22% |  |

---

We recorded a tax provision of $614 million on pretax income of $2.7 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2026. Our effective tax rate increased from a year ago primarily due to stock-based compensation. Our effective tax rate may fluctuate due to changes in our domestic and foreign earnings, or material discrete tax items, or a combination of these factors resulting from transactions or events, including acquisitions, changes to our operating structure and other macroeconomic factors.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of April 30, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $11.8 billion and accounts receivable of $5.1 billion. Our cash equivalents and marketable securities are comprised primarily of corporate notes and obligations, U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency obligations, asset-backed securities, foreign government obligations, mortgage-backed obligations, covered bonds, time deposits, money market mutual funds and municipal securities. Our Revolving Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below), which provides the ability to borrow up to $5.0 billion in unsecured financing (the "Credit Facility") as of April 30, 2026, also serves as a source of liquidity.

Net cash provided by operating activities could continue to be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks detailed in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors." We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash provided by operating activities, unbilled amounts related to contracted noncancellable subscription agreements, which are not reflected on the balance sheet, and, if necessary, our borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and debt maintenance needs over the next 12 months and thereafter.

In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, technologies and intellectual property rights. To facilitate these acquisitions or investments, we may seek additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all, impacting our ability to complete subsequent acquisitions or investments. For example, we entered into certain credit agreements in connection with our acquisition of Informatica. See discussion in "Debt" below.

| Net cash used in investing activities | (2183) | (1567) |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (2921) | (2920) |

---

*Operating Activities*

The net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2026 was primarily comprised of net income of $2.1 billion, adjusted for non-cash items, including $985 million of depreciation and amortization and $857 million of stock-based compensation expense. Net cash provided by operating activities can be significantly impacted by factors such as growth in new business, timing of cash receipts from customers, vendor payment terms and timing of payments to vendors. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2026 was further benefited by the change in accounts receivable, net of $9.4 billion partially offset by the changes in unearned revenue of $4.0 billion and accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.9 billion. As our business continues to grow, and assuming our expenses remain in line with or less than our revenue growth, we expect to continue to see growth in net cash provided by operating activities.

The net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2025 was primarily comprised of net income of $1.5 billion, adjusted for non-cash items, including $843 million of depreciation and amortization and $814 million of stock-based compensation expense. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2025 was further benefited by the changes in accounts receivable, net of $7.6 billion, partially offset by the change in unearned revenue of $2.9 billion and the change in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.0 billion.

*Investing Activities*

The net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2026 was primarily related to net outflows for acquisitions of $1.5 billion, of which $1.1 billion related to the Qualified acquisition, as well as net outflows from marketable securities activity of $676 million and capital expenditures of $145 million, partially offset by net inflows from strategic investment activity of $90 million.

The net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2025 was primarily related to net outflows from marketable securities activity of $1.2 billion, net outflows from strategic investment activity of $143 million and capital expenditures of $179 million.

*Financing Activities*

The net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2026 was primarily related to proceeds from the issuance of debt, net of issuance costs of $24.8 billion and proceeds from equity plans of $230 million partially offset by repurchases of common stock of $27.2 billion, which includes our March 2026 accelerated share repurchase, and payments of dividends and equivalents of $365 million.

The net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2025 was primarily related to $2.6 billion used for repurchases of common stock and $402 million related to payments of dividends, partially offset by $294 million of proceeds from equity plans.

**Debt**

As of April 30, 2026, we had senior unsecured debt outstanding, with maturities starting in March 2028 and extending through March 2066, with a total carrying value of $33.3 billion. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of April 30, 2026.

In October 2024, we entered into a credit agreement with the lenders and issuing lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Revolving Loan Credit Agreement"). The Revolving Loan Credit Agreement provides for a $5.0 billion Credit Facility and matures in October 2029. We may use the proceeds of future borrowings under the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility as of April 30, 2026.

In March 2026, we entered into a $6.0 billion five-year senior unsecured term loan credit agreement (the "2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement matures in March 2031. We used the full proceeds of the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement to

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

settle all of the outstanding borrowings under our $4.0 billion 364-day Credit Agreement and our $2.0 billion Three-year Credit Agreement, which were originally entered into in June 2025 to finance the acquisition of Informatica. As of April 30, 2026, the full $6.0 billion was outstanding under the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement.

In March 2026, we also issued unsecured Senior Notes with an aggregate principal of $25.0 billion and maturities ranging from 2028 to 2066 (the "March 2026 Notes"). We used the net proceeds from the March 2026 Notes to fund an accelerated share repurchase program, as discussed below.

We do not have any special purpose entities and we do not engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

**Share Repurchase Program**

Our Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a program to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock (the "Share Repurchase Program"), which commenced in August 2022. In February 2026, the Board authorized $50.0 billion in share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program that replaced the previous remaining unpurchased authorization. The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration date and does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares.

In March 2026, we entered into the ASR Agreements with a syndicate of financial institutions to repurchase an aggregate of $25.0 billion of our common stock and received an initial delivery of approximately 103 million shares at an average price per share of $198.34, which represents approximately 80 percent of the total shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreements. The final settlement of repurchased shares is expected to occur in the second half of fiscal 2027.

Excluding the repurchases made under the ASR Agreements, we additionally repurchased the following shares of our common stock in the open market, (in millions, except average price per share):

| Three months ended April 30 | 11 | $192.00 | $2145 | 10 | $273.42 | $2681 |

---

As of April 30, 2026, we were authorized to purchase a remaining $22.9 billion of the Company's common stock under the Share Repurchase Program. Subsequent to April 30, 2026, we have not completed any additional share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.

**Dividends**

The Company announced the following dividends:

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Record Date** | **Payment Date** | **Dividend per Share** | **Amount<br>(in millions)** |
| Three months ended April 30, 2026 | April 9, 2026 | April 23, 2026 | $0.440 | $374 |
| Three months ended April 30, 2025 | April 10, 2025 | April 24, 2025 | $0.416 | $406 |

---

The declaration and payment of future cash dividends is subject to the Board continuing to determine that the declaration of dividends is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, after giving consideration to continued capital availability, general economic and market conditions, and applicable laws and agreements.

**Contractual Obligations**

As of April 30, 2026, there were no significant changes to our estimates of future payments under our fixed contractual obligations and commitments as presented in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. For more information regarding our lease obligations as of April 30, 2026, see Note 5 "Leases and Other Commitments" to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We generally expect to satisfy these commitments with cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities.

During the three months ended April 30, 2026 and in future years, we have made, and expect to continue to make, additional investments in enterprise cloud computing services to allow us to scale with our customers and continue to evolve our security measures. We plan to upgrade or replace various internal systems to scale with our overall growth. While we continue to make investments in our infrastructure service providers to provide capacity for the growth of our business, our strategy may continue to change related to these investments and we may slow the pace of our investments.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

**Other Future Obligations**

As of April 30, 2026, we expect approximately $130 million to $150 million in future cash payments related to our restructuring initiatives, primarily related to workforce costs, such as severance payments. We generally expect to satisfy these commitments with cash on our balance sheet and cash provided by operating activities.

**Stakeholder Impact**

We believe that business is the greatest platform for change. Guided by our values, we work to earn the trust of our stakeholders. Transparency is key to trust, which is why we have published an annual Stakeholder Impact Report for over ten years to keep our stakeholders informed and to hold ourselves accountable to our sustainability, impact and equality strategies. Our disclosures in these areas are also informed by topics identified through relevancy assessments and third-party ESG reporting organizations, frameworks and standards. Read more about these initiatives and view our Stakeholder Impact Report at https://salesforce.com/stakeholder-impact-report. Website references throughout this document are provided for convenience only, and the content on the referenced websites is not incorporated by reference into this report.

**ITEM 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity investment risks. This exposure has increased due to recent financial market movements and changes to our expectations of near-term possible movements caused by the impact of the macroeconomic environment as discussed in more detail below.

**Foreign Currency Exchange Risk**

We primarily conduct our business in the following locations: the United States, Europe, Canada, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Japan. The expanding global scope of our business exposes us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency markets, including emerging markets. This exposure is the result of selling in multiple currencies, operating in countries where the functional currency is the local currency and growth in our international investments, including infrastructure expansion, costs associated with third-party infrastructure providers and additional headcount in foreign countries. Specifically, our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations in the following currencies: the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar and Brazilian Real against the United States Dollar ("USD"). These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and economic conditions change. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have an adverse impact on our financial results and cash flows.

**Foreign Currency Transaction Risk**

Our foreign currency exposures typically arise from selling annual and multi-year subscriptions in multiple currencies, customer accounts receivable, intercompany transfer pricing arrangements and other intercompany transactions. Our foreign currency management objective is to minimize the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on selected assets or liabilities and forecasted revenue without exposing us to additional risk associated with transactions that could be regarded as speculative. We pursue our objective by utilizing foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign exchange risk. Our foreign currency forward contracts are generally short-term in duration. For minimizing the effect of foreign exchange rates on assets or liabilities we record the fair values of these contracts as of the end of our reporting period to our consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair values recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts, which we designate as cash flow hedges, to manage the volatility in cash flows associated with forecasted revenue denominated in certain currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges, the derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. All of our foreign currency forward contracts mature within twelve months. These forward contracts reduce, but not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements in the current period.

Given the short duration of the forward contracts, the amount recorded is not significant. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to foreign currency exposures will generally depend on the size and type of cross-currency transactions that we enter into, the currency exchange rates associated with these exposures and changes in those rates, the net realized gain or loss on our foreign currency forward contracts and other factors.

**Foreign Currency Translation Risk**

Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets, liabilities, revenues, operating expenses and cash flows that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into USD. Total revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2026 were positively impacted by approximately two percent due to fluctuations in foreign currencies compared to the three months ended April 30, 2025. In addition, fluctuations in foreign currencies positively impacted our current remaining performance obligation growth rate as of April 30, 2026 by approximately one percent compared to what we would have reported as of April 30, 2025 using constant currency rates.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

**Interest Rate Sensitivity**

As of April 30, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $11.8 billion. This amount was invested primarily in money market funds, time deposits, corporate notes and bonds, government securities and other debt securities with credit ratings of BBB or better. The cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are held for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases, dividend payments, acquisitions of, or investments in, complementary businesses, services or technologies, working capital and capital expenditures. Our investments are made for capital preservation purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.

Our cash equivalents and our portfolio of marketable securities are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed-rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because we classify our debt securities as "available for sale," no gains or losses are recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations due to changes in interest rates. Gains or losses recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations are limited to those related to either the sale of securities prior to maturity or expected credit losses.

Our fixed-income portfolio is also subject to interest rate risk. An immediate increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points at April 30, 2026 could result in a $50 million market value reduction or increase of the same amount. This estimate is based on a sensitivity model that measures market value changes when changes in interest rates occur. Fluctuations in the value of our investment securities caused by a change in interest rates (gains or losses on the carrying value) are recorded in comprehensive income, net, and are realized only if we sell the underlying securities.

At January 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $9.6 billion. Changes in interest rates of 100 basis points would have resulted in market value changes of $31 million.

**Market Risk and Market Interest Risk**

We deposit our cash with multiple financial institutions.

*Debt*

We maintain debt obligations that are subject to market interest risk, as follows (in millions):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The contractual interest rate represents the weighted-average for the period outstanding.

Any borrowings under our Revolving Loan Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at a base rate plus a spread of 0.00% or an adjusted benchmark rate plus a spread of 0.50% to 0.85%, in each case, with such spread being determined based on our credit rating. We are also obligated to pay an ongoing commitment fee on undrawn amounts. As of April 30, 2026, there was no outstanding borrowing amount under the Credit Facility.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

The borrowings under the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at our option, an alternate base rate or an adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), in each case, plus an applicable margin calculated based on our credit ratings. As of April 30, 2026, the entire $6.0 billion principal amount was outstanding under the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement.

In March 2026, we issued the March 2026 Notes with an aggregate principal of $25.0 billion and maturities ranging from 2028 to 2066. While these notes do not expose us to risk from fluctuating interest rates, the fair value of this fixed-rate debt may be impacted by future changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of our fixed-rate debt will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall.

The bank counterparties to our derivative contracts potentially expose us to credit-related losses in the event of their nonperformance. To mitigate that risk, we only contract with counterparties who meet the minimum requirements under our counterparty risk assessment process. We monitor ratings, credit spreads and potential downgrades on at least a quarterly basis. Based on our ongoing assessment of counterparty risk, we adjust our exposure to various counterparties. We generally enter into master netting arrangements, which reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. However, we do not have any master netting arrangements in place with collateral features.

*Strategic Investments*

As of April 30, 2026, our strategic investment portfolio consisted of investments in over 450 companies with a combined carrying value of $7.8 billion, including two privately held investments with carrying values that were individually greater than five percent of the total strategic investments portfolio and represented 37 percent of the portfolio in aggregate.

The following table sets forth additional information regarding active equity investments within our strategic investment portfolio as of April 30, 2026 and excludes exited investments (in millions):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Investment Type** | **Capital Invested** | **Unrealized Gains (Cumulative)** | **Unrealized Losses (Cumulative)** | **Carrying Value as of April 30, 2026** |
| Publicly held equity securities | $3 | $1 | $(1) | $3 |
| Privately held equity securities | 6330 | 2573 | (1174) | 7729 |
| Total equity securities | $6333 | $2574 | $(1175) | $7732 |

---

Fluctuations in the value of our privately held equity securities are only recorded when there is an observable transaction for a same or similar security of the same issuer, or in the event of impairment. These investments are in various classes of equity with varying rights and preferences. The particular securities we hold, and their rights and preferences relative to other securities within the capital structure of a company, may impact the magnitude by which our investment value moves in relation to changes in the total fair value of that company. For example, our five largest privately held equity securities represent $3.7 billion in total strategic investments as of April 30, 2026. If the enterprise value of the companies in which we hold those securities decreased by ten percent, the carrying value of our investment portfolio would decline by approximately $316 million. We anticipate future volatility in our condensed consolidated statements of operations due to changes in market prices, observable price changes and impairments of our strategic investments. The resulting gains or losses could be material depending on market conditions and events, particularly in periods with economic uncertainty, inflation, volatile public equity markets or unsettled global market conditions.

We continually evaluate our investments in privately held and publicly traded companies. In certain cases, our ability to sell these investments may be impacted by contractual obligations to hold the securities for a set period of time after a public offering.

In addition, the financial success of our investment in any company is typically dependent on a liquidity event, such as a public offering, acquisition or other favorable market event reflecting appreciation to the cost of our initial investment. All of our investments, particularly those in privately held companies, are therefore subject to a risk of partial or total loss of invested capital.

**ITEM 4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on management's evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, and are effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level, that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

**(b) Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that there has not been any material change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II.** 

**ITEM 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

We evaluate all claims and lawsuits with respect to their potential merits, our potential defenses and counterclaims, settlement or litigation potential and the expected effect on us. Our technologies may be subject to an injunction if they are found to infringe the rights of a third party. In addition, many of our subscription agreements require us to indemnify our customers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the cost to us of an adverse ruling on such a claim.

The outcome of any claims or litigation, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. Any claims and other lawsuits, and the disposition of such claims and lawsuits, whether through settlement or litigation, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, divert our attention from executing our business plan, result in efforts to enjoin our activities, lead to attempts by third parties to seek similar claims and, in the case of intellectual property claims, require us to change our technology, change our business practices, pay monetary damages or enter into short- or long-term royalty or licensing agreements.

For more information regarding legal proceedings see Note 12 "Legal Proceedings and Claims" to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

*In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the following discussion of material risks, events and uncertainties that make an investment in us speculative or risky in addition to the other information included in this Annual Report. A manifestation of any of the following risks and uncertainties could, in circumstances we may or may not be able to accurately predict, materially and adversely affect our business and operations, growth, reputation, prospects, operating and financial results, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity and stock price. Some of the factors, events and contingencies discussed below may have occurred in the past, but the disclosures below are not representations as to whether or not the factors, events or contingencies have occurred in the past and instead reflect our beliefs and opinions as to the factors, events or contingencies that could materially and adversely affect us in the future. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Other events, factors or uncertainties that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial also may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, other key metrics and the trading price of our common stock. Therefore, you should not consider the following risks to be a complete statement of all the potential risks or uncertainties that we face.*

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

Our services involve the storage and transmission of our customers' and our customers' customers' proprietary and other sensitive data, including financial, health and other personal information. Our services and underlying infrastructure have in the past and may in the future be breached or compromised, including, for example, as a result of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attempts to fraudulently induce our employees, customers, partners, or third-party vendors to disclose sensitive information to gain unauthorized access to our or our customers' data or IT systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• efforts by threat actors, including criminal organizations, state-sponsored actors and nation-states, to launch coordinated cyberattacks or supply chain attacks on our infrastructure or that of our third-party vendors, including through ransomware, destructive malware, distributed denial-of-service attacks or exploitation of previously unknown "zero-day" vulnerabilities, which may be discovered and weaponized by autonomous AI agents and through new frontier AI models;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attempts to misuse our marketing, advertising, messaging or social products and functionalities to impersonate persons or organizations and disseminate information that is false, misleading or malicious;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• vulnerabilities arising from new technologies and infrastructures, including those from acquisitions, enhancements and updates to our existing products, and the adoption and deployment of AI technologies within our products, services, internal systems, which may introduce novel security, data governance, or operational risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• vulnerabilities in products or components within the broad ecosystem in which our services operate and upon which they depend;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attacks on, or vulnerabilities in, the underlying networks and services that power the Internet on which our products depend, most of which are not under our control or the control of our third-party vendors, partners or customers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employee or contractor errors, omissions or intentional acts that compromise our security systems.

Although we devote significant resources to protecting our data and IT systems, we can provide no assurances that our security measures, including systems and processes designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our customers' and our customers' customers' proprietary and sensitive data, will be effective or that a material cybersecurity incident will not occur. Our ability to mitigate these risks may be impacted by the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• evolving and increasingly sophisticated techniques used to breach or disrupt IT systems and infrastructure, including the use or exploitation of AI technologies by threat actors to identify previously unknown vulnerabilities and accelerate, scale or personalize cyberattacks, which may significantly reduce the time available for us to remediate vulnerabilities before they are exploited;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the increasing complexity of our internal IT systems as we integrate acquired businesses and adopt new technologies and data-sharing models; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our limited control over our customers, partners, and third-party vendors (including those authorized by customers to access their data), or over the processing of data by such third parties, which may limit our ability to maintain the integrity or security of such transmissions or processing.

In the normal course of business, we and our customers are and have been the target of malicious cyberattacks and other security threats. Although to date we have not identified any security incidents involving our systems that have had a material financial impact on us, there can be no assurance that future incidents will not be material or significant. As our market presence grows, we may face increased risks of cyberattacks and other security threats. Additionally, as AI technologies, including generative and agentic AI, continue to evolve, threat actors are using and exploiting these technologies to enhance the sophistication, scale, speed and effectiveness of security threats that may be more difficult to detect and defend against, including future capabilities to identify previously unknown vulnerabilities and automate complex, multi-stage attack chains. Any delay in detecting, containing, or remediating a cybersecurity incident may result in additional harm, and in certain cases the full scope and impact of any such incident may not be immediately apparent.

A cybersecurity incident could result in unauthorized access to, or the loss or denial of authorized access to, our IT systems or data, or those of our customers, including intellectual property and other proprietary, sensitive or confidential information. We are subject to contractual, regulatory and other legal obligations to notify relevant stakeholders of certain security incidents. For example, SEC rules require disclosure on Form 8-K of the nature, scope and timing of any material cybersecurity incident and the reasonably likely impact of such incident. As data protection, cybersecurity, and privacy laws continue to evolve, we may face additional reporting requirements to regulatory authorities. Assessing whether an incident is material or reportable to one or more external parties may require complex judgment and investigation, and disclosure of an incident may itself adversely affect our reputation, customer relationships and exposure to legal or regulatory proceedings. A security incident or related disclosure could result in loss of confidence in the security of our services, harm our reputation, negatively impact future sales, disrupt our business operations, increase insurance premiums and result in legal, regulatory and financial liability. Additionally, it may take considerable time for us to investigate and evaluate the full impact of cybersecurity attacks, particularly for sophisticated attacks, which may inhibit our ability to provide prompt, full and reliable information about the incident to our customers, regulators and the public. Further, there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

will be sufficient in type or amount to cover the losses arising from a cybersecurity incident. In addition, prevention, detection, investigation and remediation of actual or suspected vulnerabilities or incidents, including determining whether notification or disclosure is required, may not be straightforward, may result in significant direct and indirect costs, including increased infrastructure and security spending and the diversion of resources from development activities.

***Defects or disruptions in our services could diminish demand for our services and subject us to substantial liability.***

We have in the past and may in the future identify defects in or experience disruptions to our services. Such issues may arise in a variety of circumstances, including from customers using our services in unanticipated ways that disrupt access for other customers; from employee, contractor or other third-party action or inaction; or from the complexity of our services, which incorporate a variety of hardware, proprietary software and third-party and open-source software and AI models. Across the industry, cloud services frequently contain undetected errors when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. Although we benchmark AI model performance on metrics relevant to our services and test new models introduced into our services prior to deployment, AI models are probabilistic in nature and we cannot predict model output and subsequent AI agent behavior with complete accuracy. The use of agentic AI by us, our third-party service providers or customers may result in unanticipated outcomes that disrupt our systems or those of our customers, which may be difficult to anticipate, detect, or reverse.

We have experienced and may in the future experience defects in our, our customers', or third-party vendors' products and components, which may create vulnerabilities that inadvertently permit unauthorized access to protected customer data. We can provide no assurance that such defects or vulnerabilities will not occur in the future, have a material adverse effect on our business or subject us to substantial liability. Vulnerabilities in open-source, proprietary or third-party products and components can persist even after security patches have been issued if updates are not timely implemented or if threat actors exploit vulnerabilities before remediation is complete. As frontier AI models enhance the ability of threat actors to rapidly identify previously unknown vulnerabilities and automate complex, multi-stage attack chains, the time available to develop and deploy countermeasures is likely to be significantly compressed. Consequently, we may be required to undertake more frequent emergency patching and remediation efforts, which could increase our operational costs and heighten the risk of service disruptions caused by the patching process itself. Additionally, in some cases, vulnerabilities may not be immediately detected, which may make it difficult to recover critical services and lead to damaged assets.

Since our customers rely on our products and services for important aspects of their operations, errors, defects, service disruptions or other performance issues have in the past adversely impacted our customers and could do so in the future. As a result, customers could elect to not renew their services, delay or withhold payment or make warranty or other claims against us. Such outcomes could reduce future sales, increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts, increase collection cycles and expose us to litigation and related expenses.

***Any interruptions or delays in services from third parties, including data center hosting facilities, cloud computing platform providers and other hardware and software vendors, as well as Internet infrastructure, or from our inability to adequately plan for and manage service interruptions or infrastructure capacity requirements, could impair the delivery of our services and harm our business.***

We rely on third-party data center hosting facilities and cloud computing platform providers located in the United States and other countries, as well as the many different underlying networks and services that power the Internet, to deliver our products and services and operate critical business systems. We also rely on hardware purchased or leased from, software licensed from, and cloud computing platforms provided by third parties in order to offer our products and services, including database software, hardware and data from multiple vendors. Any disruption, degradation or failure of our systems, or those of the third parties on which we rely, regardless of cause, could result in service interruptions and harm our business. We have experienced service interruptions caused by technological and geopolitical incidents, and interruptions may occur in the future. As our reliance on these third-party systems increases, and particularly on third-party cloud computing platforms, our exposure to service interruptions and performance or quality issues may also increase. Service interruptions or other performance or quality issues may cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, cause customers to assert warranty or other claims or terminate their subscriptions, and adversely affect attrition rates and our ability to attract new customers, which could reduce revenue. Our business and reputation would also be harmed if our customers and potential customers perceive our services as unreliable.

In certain jurisdictions, government-imposed data residency requirements may negatively impact our resiliency options. Requirements to seek pre-approval before backing up, migrating or transferring customer data to alternate infrastructure, even as an emergency mitigation measure, or to condition exemptions from residency obligations on commitments to additional local infrastructure investment, could increase our costs or constrain our operational flexibility.

For many of our offerings, our production environment and customer data are replicated at geographically separate facilities. Certain offerings, including those added through acquisitions, may be delivered through alternate facilities or arrangements. We do not control the operation of any of these facilities, and they may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from events outside of our control, such as natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, or geopolitical events. Despite

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

precautions taken at these facilities, such as disaster recovery and business continuity arrangements, unanticipated events, problems, operational failures or other disruptions could result in prolonged service interruptions, and there can be no assurance that such interruptions would be remediated without significant cost, in a timely manner or at all.

The hardware, software, data and cloud computing platforms that we rely on, including, for example, the large language models leveraged in our AI offerings, may not continue to be available at reasonable prices, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Access to certain frontier AI models may also be subject to sudden suspension or restriction by providers or by governments due to safety concerns, regulatory mandates, or shifting priorities among cloud platforms. Any loss of the right to use such hardware, software, data or cloud computing platforms could significantly increase our expenses and disrupt or delay the provision of our services until equivalent technology is either developed internally or obtained from third parties and integrated into our systems. There can be no assurance that such replacement technology would be available or implemented in a timely manner or at all.

As we scale our operations, the volume and nature of data processed by our offerings continue to evolve, including as a result of the deployment of AI technologies, and our infrastructure capacity requirements, including network capacity, computing power and energy requirements, may increase as a result. Additionally, increased energy consumption, including as a result of AI adoption, climate-related events, energy market volatility, and power grid disruptions may increase the operational costs related to inputs across our value chain, including for data centers. If we experience significant strains on our data center capacity, whether due to insufficient infrastructure capacity or for other reasons outside of our control, our customers could experience performance degradation or service outages that may subject us to financial liabilities, result in customer losses, subject us to litigation and harm our reputation and business. As we add data centers and capacity and continue to move to cloud computing platform providers, we move or transfer our data and our customers' data from time to time. Despite precautions taken during this process, any unsuccessful data transfers may impair the delivery of our services, which may damage our business.

***As we acquire companies or technologies, we may not realize the expected business or financial benefits and the acquisitions could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our operations, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results and the market value of our common stock.***

As part of our business strategy, we periodically acquire complementary businesses, joint ventures, services and technologies and intellectual property rights. We continue to evaluate such opportunities and expect to make such acquisitions and other transactions and arrangements in the future, which may involve numerous risks and could create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential failure to achieve the expected benefits on a timely basis or at all;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential identified or unknown security vulnerabilities in acquired products or technologies that expose us to additional cybersecurity risks, delay integration into our service offerings, or create challenges in increasing or maintaining the security standards of the acquired technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulty of transitioning the acquired technology onto our existing platforms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• brand or reputational harm associated with our acquired companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• challenges converting the acquired company's revenue recognition policies and forecasting the related revenues, including both consumption- and subscription-based revenues and term software license revenue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in the case of foreign acquisitions, challenges with integrating operations across different cultures and languages and addressing the particular economic, currency, political, cybersecurity, regulatory and market risks associated with certain countries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operational and financial difficulties and strains on resources in integrating acquired operations, technologies, services, platforms and personnel (including cultural integration and retention of employees);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory challenges from antitrust or other regulatory authorities that may block, delay or impose conditions on the completion of transactions or the integration of acquired operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• challenges with maintaining the acquired company's customers, partners and third-party service providers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• known and potential unknown liabilities associated with the acquired businesses, including due to litigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in managing, or potential write-offs of, acquired assets, and potential financial and credit risks associated with acquired customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• negative impact to our results of operations because of the depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, fixed assets and operating lease right-of-use assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additional stock-based compensation issued or assumed in connection with the acquisition, including the impact on stockholder dilution and our results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ineffective or inadequate controls, procedures and policies at the acquired company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** the tax effects related to integration and business operation changes, realizability of our deferred tax assets, and uncertain tax liabilities.

Any of these risks could harm our business or negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, to facilitate acquisitions, we may seek additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all, which may affect our ability to complete subsequent acquisitions, and which may affect the risks of owning our common stock. If we finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible or other debt securities or taking out loans, our existing stockholders may be diluted, or we could face constraints related to the terms of, and repayment obligation related to, the incurrence of indebtedness that could affect our stock price. For example, in connection with our acquisition of Informatica, we entered into the Informatica Credit Agreements on an unsecured basis. In November 2025, the Company borrowed the full $6.0 billion available under the Informatica Credit Agreements to finance a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition, repay existing indebtedness of Informatica and its subsidiaries, and pay related fees, costs, and expenses. For more information, see Note 8 "Debt" to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part 2.

Our ability to acquire other businesses or technologies, or integrate acquired businesses effectively, may be impaired by trade tensions and increased global scrutiny of foreign investments and acquisitions in the technology sector. Governments may continue to adopt or tighten restrictions of this nature, some of which may apply to acquisitions or integrations of businesses by us, and such restrictions or government actions could negatively impact our business and financial results.

***Supporting our existing and growing customer base could strain our personnel resources and infrastructure, and if we are unable to scale our operations, refine our operating model, and increase productivity, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.***

We continue to experience significant growth in our customer base, including through acquisitions, which has placed a strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. We anticipate that significant additional investments, including in human capital software, agentic AI and other technologies, will be required to scale our operations and increase productivity, address the needs of our customers, develop and enhance our services, expand into new geographic areas and support continued growth. These investments will increase our cost base, making it more difficult to offset any future revenue shortfalls by reducing expenses in the short term. We may not be able to make these investments as quickly or effectively as necessary to successfully scale our operations.

We regularly upgrade or replace our software systems and processes. If the implementations of these new applications are delayed, or if we encounter problems with our new systems and processes or in migrating away from our existing systems and processes, our operations could be negatively impacted. For example, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we implemented a new enterprise resource planning system ("ERP"). Among other things, our ERP is essential to our financial planning, reporting, and compliance programs, and any unforeseen problems with our new ERP or in migrating away from previous systems and processes could harm our ability to manage our business.

Our success will depend in part upon the ability of our senior management to plan and manage our projected growth effectively. We must continue to increase the productivity of our existing employees and to hire, train and manage employees as needed. Additionally, changes in our work environment and workforce may not meet the needs and expectations of our workforce or may create operational and workplace culture challenges, which could negatively impact our ability to increase employee productivity or attract and retain our employees and could adversely affect our operations. Furthermore, new AI offerings and technologies, which are integrated into our operations, may disrupt workforce needs and could adversely affect our operations if not managed properly. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, our reporting systems and procedures and our utilization of real estate. If we fail to successfully scale our operations, refine our operating model, maintain effective governance and accountability, executive cross-functionally, and increase productivity across our organization, we may be unable to execute our business plan and the value of our common stock could decline.

***If our customers do not renew their subscriptions or if they reduce subscriptions at renewal, or if customer usage of consumption-based offerings is below expected levels, our revenue and current remaining performance obligation could decline and our business may suffer. If we cannot accurately predict subscription renewals or upgrade rates or optimal pricing for consumption-based contracts, we may not meet our revenue targets, which may adversely affect our stock price.***

Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions after the expiration of their contractual subscription period, which is typically 12 to 36 months, and in the normal course of business, some customers have elected not to renew. Our customers may renew for fewer subscriptions, renew for shorter contract lengths or switch to lower cost offerings of our services. It is difficult to predict attrition rates given our varied customer base, the number of multi-year subscription contracts, and our shift toward consumption-based pricing models. Our attrition rates may increase or fluctuate as a result of various factors, including customer dissatisfaction, customers' spending levels, mix of customer base, decreases in the number of users at our customers, customer mergers and acquisitions, competition, pricing increases or changes, such as the increased prevalence of consumption-based pricing models and economic downturns. Additionally, our transition toward more complex

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

pricing structures, including AI-driven consumption models, may make it more difficult to optimize our pricing, predict attrition rates, and accurately forecast revenue.

Our future success depends in part on our ability to sell additional features and services, more subscriptions or enhanced editions of our services to our current customers. This may also require increasingly sophisticated and costly sales efforts that are targeted at senior management. Similarly, the rate at which our customers purchase new or enhanced services depends on a number of factors, including general economic conditions and customer receptiveness to price changes related to these additional features and services. In addition, the markets and monetization strategies for certain offerings, including Agentforce and Data 360, remain relatively new and uncertain and may present additional risks and challenges. If customer usage for these offerings is below expected levels, we may not be able to adequately forecast renewals or optimize pricing, which may prevent us from meeting our revenue targets and adversely affect our stock price.

***Periodic changes to our sales organization can be disruptive and may reduce our rate of growth.***

We periodically change and make adjustments to our sales organization in response to market opportunities, competitive threats, management changes, product introductions or enhancements, acquisitions, sales performance, increases in sales headcount, cost levels and other internal and external considerations. Such changes have in some periods resulted in, and may in the future result in, a reduction of productivity, which could negatively impact our operating results. Further, any significant change to our sales organization's compensation structure may be disruptive and negatively affect our operating results.

***Sales to customers outside the United States expose us to risks inherent in international operations.***

We sell our services throughout the world and are subject to risks and challenges associated with international business. The risks and challenges associated with sales to customers outside the United States or those that can affect international operations generally, include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regional economic and political conditions, natural disasters, acts of war, terrorism and actual or threatened public health emergencies, or other geopolitical events, including the evolving relations between the United States and China, the United States and Russia, and ongoing conflicts, such as the war in Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• localization of our services, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory frameworks or business practices favoring local competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pressure on the creditworthiness of sovereign nations, where we have customers and a balance of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign currency fluctuations and controls, which may make our services more expensive for international customers and could add volatility to or negatively impact our operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with complex and evolving governmental laws and regulations, such as those governing AI;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• liquidity issues or political actions by sovereign nations, including nations with a controlled currency environment, could result in decreased values of these balances or potential difficulties protecting our foreign assets or satisfying local obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• vetting and monitoring our third-party resellers in new and evolving markets to confirm they maintain standards consistent with our brand and reputation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• treatment of revenue from international sources, evolving domestic and international tax environments and changes to tax codes, including being subject to and paying withholding taxes under foreign tax laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• uncertainty regarding changes in trade policies, including trade wars, the threat or imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions, as well as any retaliatory actions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• perceptions of U.S.-based companies in the regions where we operate or plan to operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• perceptions of regions or governments in the regions where we operate or plan to operate, resulting in negative publicity or reputational harm;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• different pricing environments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• different or lesser protection of our intellectual property, including increased risk of theft of our proprietary technology and other intellectual property, and more prevalent cybersecurity risks, particularly in jurisdictions in which we have historically chosen not to operate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• longer accounts receivable payment cycles and other collection difficulties.

Any of these factors could negatively impact our business and results of operations. The above factors may also negatively impact our ability to successfully expand into emerging market countries, where we have little or no operating experience, where it can be costly and challenging to establish and maintain operations, including hiring and managing required

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

personnel, and difficult to promote our brand, and where we may not benefit from any first-to-market advantage or otherwise succeed.

***Sales to larger enterprise customers may involve more time-consuming and expensive sales cycles, pricing pressure and implementation and configuration challenges, and, for some complex transactions, delayed revenue recognition, all of which could harm our business and operating results.***

We may face greater costs, longer sales cycles, greater competition and less predictability in completing some of our sales to large enterprise customers, including governmental entities and customers in regulated industries. In these market segments, the customer's decision to use our services—particularly our newer AI and data-related offerings such as Agentforce and Data360—may require us to provide extensive implementation planning, education regarding the use and benefits of our services, as well as address other concerns, such as heightened privacy and data protection requirements.

In addition, larger enterprise customers and governmental entities often demand significant pricing and packaging flexibility, as well as complex configuration and integration services and features. These opportunities often require us to devote greater sales support and professional services resources to individual customers, driving up costs and time required to complete sales and diverting our own sales and professional services resources to a smaller number of larger transactions, while potentially requiring us to delay revenue recognition on some of these transactions until the technical or implementation requirements have been met. Additionally, the pricing and packaging strategies for enterprise and other customers for our offerings, including Agentforce and Data360, may not be widely accepted. Our adoption of or failure to adopt changes to our pricing and packaging models, or failure to otherwise execute our go-to-market strategies for large, complex transactions, may harm our business.

***We may lose key members of our management team or development and operations personnel, and may be unable to attract and retain employees we need to support our operations and growth.***

Our success depends substantially upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key members of management, particularly our chief executive officer. We are also substantially dependent on existing development and operations personnel because of the complexity of our services and technologies. Our executive officers, key management, and development and operations personnel could terminate their employment with us at any time. Effective succession planning is important to our long-term success, and changes in our management team or the loss of one or more of our key employees or groups of employees could seriously harm our business.

The technology industry is subject to substantial and continuous competition for engineers with high levels of experience in designing, developing and managing software and technology services, as well as competition for sales executives, data scientists and development and operations personnel. We have experienced challenges with significant competition in talent recruitment and retention, particularly for engineers with experience in AI, and may not be successful in recruiting or retaining such talent. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience difficulty in hiring, developing, integrating and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. These difficulties may be amplified by evolving restrictions on immigration, travel, or availability of visas for skilled technology workers. Additionally, our compensation arrangements and benefits may not always be successful in attracting new employees or retaining and motivating our existing personnel. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed.

We have undertaken various restructuring initiatives intended to improve operating margins and continue advancing our ongoing commitment to profitable growth, which have included a workforce reduction, select data center exits, and office space reductions within certain markets. These restructuring actions, or any similar actions taken in the future, could negatively impact our ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate key employees.

In addition, we believe in the importance of our corporate culture, which fosters dialogue, collaboration, recognition, equality and a sense of family. As our organization has grown and expanded globally, and as our workplace plans have developed, including workforce and office space reductions related to our restructuring actions, we have experienced and may continue to experience difficulties maintaining our corporate culture globally, including managing the complexities of communicating with all employees. Any inability to maintain our corporate culture could negatively impact our ability to attract and retain employees, harm our reputation with customers or negatively impact our future growth.

***Any failure in the delivery of high-quality professional, training, and technical support services related to our online applications may adversely affect our relationships with our customers and our financial results.***

Our customers sometimes require highly skilled and trained service professionals to successfully onboard and implement our applications. Customers depend on our customer success and support organizations to provide coaching, resolve technical issues, and offer proactive guidance relating to our applications. Implementation, training, and advisory services may be performed by us, our customers, a third party, or a combination thereof. Our strategy is to work with third parties to increase the breadth of capability and depth of capacity for delivery of these services to our customers. If customers are not satisfied with the quality and timing of work or with the type of services or solutions delivered, we could incur additional costs to address the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

situation, the profitability of that work might be impaired, our revenue recognition could be impacted and the customer's dissatisfaction with the services received could negatively impact our ability to sell our other offerings to that customer or retain existing customers. In addition, negative publicity related to our customer relationships, regardless of its accuracy, may further damage our business by affecting our ability to compete for new business with current or prospective customers. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for customer success and support services across our varying and diverse offerings. In addition, our sales process is highly dependent on our applications and business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing customers. Any failure or perceived failure to maintain high-quality professional, onboarding, training, and technical support services could adversely affect our reputation, our ability to sell our service offerings to existing and prospective customers, and our business, operating results and financial position.

**Strategic and Industry Risks**

***The markets in which we participate are intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.***

The market for enterprise applications and platform services is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, fragmented and subject to changing technology, low barriers to entry, shifting customer needs and frequent introductions of new products and services. Many prospective customers have invested substantial personnel and financial resources to implement and integrate their current enterprise software into their businesses and therefore may be reluctant or unwilling to migrate away from their current solution to a different enterprise software service. Additionally, third-party developers may be reluctant to build application services on our platform since they have invested in other competing technology platforms.

Our current competitors include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• vendors of packaged business software, as well as companies offering enterprise applications delivered through on-premises offerings from enterprise software application vendors and cloud computing application service providers, either individually or with others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• AI-native companies and emerging startups that leverage generative AI and large language models as the core foundation of their architecture, offering highly specialized, autonomous, or automated solutions that may bypass traditional business process workflows or displace established user interfaces;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• software companies that provide their product or service free of charge as a single product or when bundled with other offerings, or only charge a premium for advanced features and functionality, as well as companies that offer solutions that are sold without a direct sales organization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• vendors who offer software tailored to specific services, industries or market segments, as opposed to our full suite of service offerings, including suppliers of traditional business intelligence and data preparation products, integration software vendors, marketing vendors, e-commerce solutions vendors or AI software and service vendors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• productivity tool and email providers, unified communications providers and consumer application companies that have entered the business software market; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• traditional platform development environment companies and cloud computing development platform companies who may develop toolsets and products that allow customers to build new applications, including AI-augmented applications, that run on the customers' current infrastructure or as hosted services, as well as would-be customers who may develop enterprise applications for internal use.

In addition, we may face more competition as we expand our service offerings. Some of our current and potential competitors may have competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories, more significant installed bases, broader geographic scope, broader suites of service offerings and larger marketing budgets, as well as substantially greater financial, technical, personnel and other resources. In addition, many of our current and potential competitors have established marketing relationships and access to larger customer bases, and have major distribution agreements with consultants, system integrators and resellers. We also experience competition from smaller competitors that may be more agile in responding to customers' demands and offer more targeted and simplified solutions. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements, or provide competitive pricing, more flexible contracts or faster implementations. Additionally, as we continue to increasingly build AI into many of our offerings, we face more competition as AI technologies are increasingly integrated into the markets in which we compete. New AI offerings may disrupt our service offerings or transform workforce needs and negatively impact demand for our offerings, or our competitors may be able to incorporate AI into their offerings more efficiently or successfully than we are able to and achieve greater and faster adoption. Even if our products and services are more effective than the products and services that our competitors offer, potential customers might select competitive products and services in lieu of purchasing our products and services. For all of these reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against our competitors, which could negatively impact our future sales and harm our business.

***Our efforts to expand our service offerings and to develop and integrate our existing services in order to keep pace with technological developments may not succeed and may reduce our revenue growth rate and harm our business.***

Our efforts to expand our current service offerings may not succeed and may reduce our revenue growth rate. In addition, the markets and monetization strategies for certain offerings, including Agentforce and Data 360, remain relatively new and uncertain and our expansion into such offerings, and related investments, may present additional risks and challenges. For example, we offer certain products, including Agentforce and Data 360, through a consumption-based business model and may increase the number of products through which we do so. We have limited experience with determining optimal pricing for our consumption-based contracts and may have lower levels of customer consumption of our products than we expect which may result in suboptimal pricing. Further, the introduction of future platform changes and upgrades may not result in long term revenue growth.

If we are unable to develop enhancements to, and new features for, our existing or new services that keep pace with rapid technological developments, our business could be harmed. The success of enhancements, new features and services depends on several factors, including its timely completion and introduction and market acceptance, as well as our ability to integrate all our product and service offerings and develop adequate selling capabilities in new markets. Failure in this regard may significantly impair our revenue growth as well as negatively impact our operating results if the additional costs are not offset by additional revenues. In addition, because our services are designed to operate over various network technologies and on a variety of mobile devices, operating systems and computer hardware and software platforms, we need to continuously modify and enhance our services to keep pace with changes in these technologies, as well as continue to maintain and support our services on legacy systems. We may not be successful in developing these modifications and enhancements or in bringing them to market timely.

Additionally, if we fail to timely anticipate or identify significant technology trends and developments, or if we do not devote appropriate resources to adapting to such trends and developments, our business could be harmed. Uncertainties about the timing and nature of new network platforms or technologies, modifications to existing platforms or technologies, including text messaging capabilities within these platforms, or changes in customer usage patterns thereof could increase our research and development or service delivery expenses or lead to our increased reliance on certain vendors. Any failure of our services to operate effectively with future network platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our services, result in customer dissatisfaction and harm our business.

***Our continued success depends on our ability to maintain and enhance our brands.***

We believe that the brand identities we have developed, including associations with trust, customer success, innovation, equality and sustainability have significantly contributed to the success of our business. Maintaining and enhancing the Salesforce brand and our other brands is critical to expanding our base of customers, partners and employees. Our brand strength depends largely on our ability to remain a technology leader and provide high-quality innovative products, services and features in a secure, reliable manner that enhances our customers' success even as we scale and expand our services. In order to maintain and enhance the strength of our brands, we have made and may in the future make substantial investments to expand or improve our product offerings and services, including our investments in data and AI technologies, or we may enter new markets that may be accompanied by initial complications or ultimately prove to be unsuccessful.

Further, entry into markets with weaker protection of brands or changes in the legal systems in countries we operate may impact our ability to protect our brands. If we fail to maintain, enhance or protect our brands, or if we incur excessive expenses in our efforts to do so, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

***We are subject to risks associated with our strategic investments, including partial or complete loss of invested capital. Significant changes in the fair value of this portfolio could negatively impact our financial results.***

We manage a portfolio of strategic investments in both privately held and publicly traded companies focused primarily on enterprise technology and AI companies, as well as systems integrators. While we invest in companies that we believe are digitally transforming their industries, advancing responsible AI, improving customer experiences, helping us expand our solution ecosystem or supporting other corporate initiatives, we may still experience unforeseen reputational harm associated with our investments. Our investments range from early- to late-stage companies, including investments made concurrent with a company's initial public offering. Investments in early-stage companies are inherently speculative, as these companies may not yet be revenue-generating and could still be in the process of developing their products and services at the time of our investment. The financial success of our investment in any company is typically dependent on a liquidity event, such as a public offering, acquisition or other favorable market event reflecting appreciation to the cost of our initial investment. Our investments may face challenges from regulatory authorities potentially resulting in unexpected costs, delays, or unfavorable conditions imposed on transactions involving our investment portfolio. In certain cases, our ability to sell these investments may be impacted by contractual obligations to hold the securities for a set period of time after a public offering. All of our investments are subject to a risk of partial or total loss of invested capital.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

We are exposed to volatility in our operating results due to changes in market prices, observable price changes and impairments of our strategic investments. The measurement of our non-marketable equity securities at fair value is inherently subjective and requires management judgment and estimation. The resulting gains or losses could be material depending on market conditions and events, particularly in periods with economic uncertainty, inflation, geopolitical conflict, volatile public equity markets or unsettled global market conditions.

***If third-party developers and vendors do not continue to embrace our technology delivery model and enterprise cloud computing services, or if our customers seek warranties from us for third-party applications, integrations, data and content, our business could be harmed.***

Our success depends on the willingness of a growing community of third-party developers and vendors to build applications and provide integrations, data and content that are complementary to our services. Without the continued development of these applications and provision of such integrations, data and content, both current and potential customers may not find our services sufficiently attractive, which could impact future sales. In addition, for those customers who authorize a third-party technology partner to access their data, we do not provide any warranty related to the functionality, security or integrity of the data access, transmission or processing. Despite contract provisions to protect us, customers may look to us to support and provide warranties for the third-party applications, integrations, data and content, even though not developed or sold by us, which may expose us to potential claims, liabilities and obligations, all of which could harm our reputation and our business.

***Social, ethical, and regulatory issues, including the development, deployment, use or capabilities of AI in our offerings, may result in reputational harm, legal liability and increased compliance costs.***

Policies we adopt or choose not to adopt, on social and ethical issues, particularly regarding the development, deployment or use of our products, may be viewed as controversial by employees, customers, potential customers, or regulators who have varied, evolving and oftentimes conflicting expectations. These perceptions have in the past, and may in the future, impact our ability to attract or retain employees and customers and may result in negative publicity or reputational harm. Our decisions about whether to conduct business with potential customers, or whether to continue or expand relationships with existing customers, may also impact our stakeholder relationships and reputation. Actions taken by our customers or employees, including through the use or misuse of our products or technologies for unlawful activities, improper information sharing or other harmful purposes, may result in reputational harm, regulatory scrutiny or legal liability. Regulatory frameworks such as the EU Digital Services Act ("DSA"), the EU AI Act and other rapidly evolving and sometimes conflicting global laws and regulations related to AI, privacy and consumer protection could increase compliance costs, restrict features or data flows, delay launches and expose us to penalties or litigation.

We are increasingly building AI into many of our offerings, including generative and agentic AI. As with many technical innovations, AI offerings, such as Agentforce, and our Agentforce 360 Platform present additional risks and challenges that could affect customer adoption and therefore our business. For example, the development and deployment of AI offerings, including those involving information regarding our customers' customers, raise emerging ethical, legal and operational considerations. If we enable or offer solutions that draw controversy due to their perceived or actual impact on human rights, privacy, employment or other social concerns, we may experience new or heightened governmental or regulatory scrutiny, investigations, enforcement actions, fines or penalties and reputational or competitive harm.

As we develop and deploy AI applications in our products and services, including in customer-facing contexts, the speed, scale and complexity of related data processing may increase. AI applications may be targeted or misused, or may perform in ways that are inaccurate, biased, unreliable or otherwise harmful, or that implicate personal or proprietary data in ways that may be difficult to anticipate, detect or control. Such issues could result in regulatory scrutiny, litigation, contractual disputes, loss of customer trust or reputational harm.

Inadequate or ineffective AI development, testing, deployment, content labeling, governance, monitoring or oversight, whether by us or others, could result in our AI applications not operating as intended or with reduced functionality, reduced acceptance of our products and services or diminished confidence in the decisions, predictions, analysis or other content that our AI applications produce. Such risks may be heightened as AI applications are integrated into a broader range of our products and services, or as coding assistants increase the pace of development. This could subject us to regulatory scrutiny, competitive harm, legal liability and reputational damage.

We may rely in part on third-party models, datasets, cloud infrastructure or other technologies in developing or offering certain AI applications. Our reliance on such third parties exposes us to risks relating to performance, availability, security vulnerabilities, intellectual property claims, licensing restrictions, cost increases or changes in terms of service. If a third-party provider modifies, suspends or terminates access to its models, data or infrastructure, or if such technologies fail to perform as expected, our ability to offer, scale or support certain AI applications may be adversely affected, and we may incur additional costs to mitigate such impacts.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

The rapid evolution of AI technologies and related regulatory requirements will require the allocation of significant resources to develop, test, monitor and maintain our products and services in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations and to address concerns relating to accuracy, bias, transparency, explainability, security and data provenance. Uncertainty surrounding new and emerging AI applications, including generative AI content creation, AI agents, and multi-organization and multi-agent interoperability considerations may require additional investment in compliance programs, governance frameworks, licensing arrangements, documentation, auditing and risk mitigation processes, which may be complex, costly and could impact our profit margins. Moreover, expansion of our AI capabilities to content generation, including through Agentforce and other generative AI offerings, introduces additional risks and responsibilities.

AI technologies may produce content that is inaccurate, misleading, biased, offensive or unsafe, and may implicate privacy, security or intellectual property rights, including through the generation of copyrighted or other protected material. If our customers or others rely on such content to their detriment, or if regulators or rights holders assert claims relating to AI-generated content, we may be exposed to litigation, regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, indemnification obligations, monetary penalties or other liabilities, or reputational harm. Developing, testing and deploying AI technologies may also increase the cost profile of our offerings due to the computing costs required. If we are unable to effectively mitigate these risks, or if our mitigation efforts result in excessive costs, our reputation, business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

***The evolving landscape related to environmental, social and governance matters may expose us to risks that could adversely affect our reputation and performance.***

Equality and sustainability are core values of the Company. In furtherance of these values, we have in the past and may in the future establish and disclose quantitative and qualitative statements related to equality and sustainability matters, which are subject to numerous risks and dependencies. The proliferation of regulations and guidance addressing climate, human capital and other topics at the regional, state and national levels has required and may continue to require significant effort and resources, and our practices, processes and controls may not ensure compliance with evolving standards. Further, various regulations or guidance may conflict with each other, making universal compliance challenging as a multinational company, and our status as a government contractor in various jurisdictions, including but not limited to the U.S. where we are headquartered, may also result in greater exposure or differentiated obligations or requirements with which we would seek to comply. The standards and frameworks for tracking and reporting on these matters continue to evolve, and our use, interpretation or application of such frameworks and standards may change from time to time or differ from those of other companies, which may result in a lack of consistent or meaningful comparative data from period to period or between Salesforce and other companies. In addition, our practices and disclosures may not satisfy, appropriately respond to the concerns of or be supported by all investors, customers, partners, regulators, enforcement authorities or other stakeholders, whose expectations and requirements are evolving, varied, and oftentimes conflicting. Any violation of, non-compliance with or failure to meet such expectations or requirements, or negative publicity related to our practices or disclosures, could result in harm to our reputation, our ability to attract or retain employees, and our attractiveness as an investment, business partner, acquiror or service provider, could expose us to increased scrutiny or to regulatory or enforcement actions or litigation, and could cause us to incur increased costs to address or defend against such actions.

**Legal and Regulatory Risks**

***Privacy concerns and laws as well as evolving regulation of cloud computing, AI services, cross-border data transfers and other domestic or foreign regulations may limit the use and adoption of our services and adversely affect our business.***

Regulation related to the provision of services over the Internet continues to evolve, as federal, state and foreign governments adopt new, or modify existing, laws and regulations addressing data privacy, cybersecurity, data protection, data sovereignty and the collection, storage, hosting, transfer, use and other processing of data. The volume, complexity and scope of these regulatory requirements may continue to increase, including in response to heightened geopolitical tensions and the rapid advancement of frontier AI capabilities. In some cases, data privacy laws and regulations, such as the EU's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), impose obligations directly on us as both a data controller and a data processor, as well as on many of our customers. In addition, domestic data privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA"), and similar laws that have passed, gone into effect or are being considered in numerous other U.S. states, impose obligations on us and many of our customers, potentially as both a covered business and service provider.

These laws continue to evolve and expand, including through the adoption of new comprehensive data protection regimes such as India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, and through the introduction of additional implementing rules and regulations in various jurisdictions. As a result, we and our customers may become subject to additional regulatory burdens. New EU laws, including the DSA, the Data Act and the AI Act, have also been adopted and, depending on how they are implemented, interpreted and enforced, may impose additional rules, restrictions or compliance requirements on the development, deployment or use of our products and services, including AI-enabled features.

Historically, certain legal frameworks have provided safe harbors to companies that host or transmit content provided by others, including limitations on liability for monetary damages arising from copyright infringement or defamation based on customer-provided content. There is increasing legislative, regulatory and judicial scrutiny of these safe harbors, and ongoing legal efforts to repeal, narrow or limit these protections that were previously available to us. The loss or further erosion of these protections may require us to alter, limit or discontinue certain of our services, or may impose additional contractual terms on customers to mitigate potential liability for customer misconduct.

Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to make changes to our practices, products or services to enable us or our customers to meet applicable legal requirements, and may increase our potential liability exposure through new or higher potential penalties, fines, investigations or litigation, including in connection with data breaches. Privacy and data protection laws and regulations are also subject to differing interpretations and may be inconsistent or conflicting across jurisdictions. These factors have increased scrutiny from customers, particularly those in the public sector and highly regulated industries and may be perceived differently from customer to customer. In addition, we may be subject to increased liability exposure or regulatory scrutiny related to the use of certain technologies associated with the collection, management or processing of data, including the use of cookies, automated AI processing, and similar technologies. These developments could reduce demand for our services, require us to take on more onerous contractual obligations, restrict our ability to store, transfer and otherwise process data or, in some cases, limit our or our customers' ability to offer our services in certain locations, deploy our solutions, reach current or prospective customers, or derive insights from customer data on a global basis. For example, statutory damages available through a private right of action for certain data breaches under the CCPA may increase our and our customers' potential liability exposure and the demands customers place on us.

In July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU") invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, one of the mechanisms that previously permitted transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area ("EEA") to the United States. Even though the CJEU decision upheld the use of Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs") as a lawful transfer mechanism, the decision created ongoing uncertainty regarding EU-to-U.S. data transfers. While the EU and U.S. governments have since adopted the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework to facilitate such transfers and address the concerns raised by the CJEU, it remains uncertain whether this framework will withstand future legal challenges. As a result, regulators may continue to interpret the CJEU's decision and the reasoning underlying it as significantly restricting certain cross-border data transfers increasing the cost and complexity of providing our services in certain markets. Certain countries outside of the EEA have enacted or are considering enacting laws that require varying degrees of local data residency or localization. Additionally, recent governmental actions and geopolitical developments have increased the perceived risk that our services, particularly in the EU, could be disrupted, suspended or terminated. Customers operating across jurisdictions with overlapping or conflicting data regulations may face compliance complexity that affects their adoption, use, or renewal of our services and may generate contractual demands that are difficult to standardize across our product and service offerings.

The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, privacy laws, regulations and standards may limit the use and adoption of our services, reduce overall demand for our services, make it more difficult to meet expectations from our commitments to customers and our customers' customers, lead to significant fines, penalties or liabilities for noncompliance, impact our reputation or slow the pace at which we close sales transactions particularly where customers request specific warranties or broad indemnities for noncompliance with privacy laws, any of which could harm our business.

In addition to government activity, privacy advocates and industry groups have established or may establish new self-regulatory standards or voluntary certification requirements that customers may expect us to meet. If we are unable to maintain required certifications or comply with such standards, our ability to provide our services to certain customers could be adversely affected. We have also observed increased private enforcement of data protection obligations, including through private actions for alleged noncompliance, which could result in litigation, harm to our business, reputational harm or liability. For example, in 2020 we were named as a defendant in a legal proceeding brought by a Dutch privacy advocacy group (the Privacy Collective) on behalf of certain Dutch citizens alleging violations of the GDPR and Dutch Telecommunications Act. Although the claims were initially dismissed, that decision was later reversed on appeal, and that matter remains pending before the Dutch Supreme Court. Although we believe we have strong defenses in these or similar matters, current or future claims of this nature could cause reputational harm or liability. In addition, a shift in consumers' data privacy expectations or other social, economic or political developments could impact regulatory enforcement priorities, require our cooperation with regulators and increase the cost of compliance with applicable privacy regulations.

Furthermore, the uncertain and evolving regulatory environment and broader trust climate may heighten concerns regarding data privacy, cybersecurity, and AI, particularly where advanced analytics or automated functionality is involved, which could cause our customers or their end users to limit the data they provide or their use of our products and services. Even the perception that personal data is not adequately protected or that our products or services do not comply with applicable regulatory requirements could inhibit sales, reduce adoption of our offerings or otherwise adversely affect our business.

***Industry-specific regulations and other requirements and standards are evolving and industry-specific laws, regulations, interpretive positions or standards could harm our business.***

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

Our customers and potential customers conduct business in a variety of industries, including financial services, the public sector, healthcare and telecommunications. Regulators in certain industries have adopted and may in the future adopt regulations or interpretive positions regarding the use of cloud computing, AI services and other outsourced services. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, industry-specific laws, regulations and interpretive positions may limit our customers' use and adoption of our services and reduce overall demand for our services. Compliance with these regulations may also require us to devote greater resources to support certain customers, which may increase costs and lengthen sales cycles. For example, some financial services regulators have imposed guidelines for use of cloud computing services that mandate specific controls or require financial services enterprises to obtain regulatory approval prior to outsourcing certain functions. If we are unable to comply with these guidelines or controls, or if our customers are unable to obtain regulatory approval to use our services where required, our business may be harmed. In addition, an inability to satisfy the standards of certain voluntary third-party certification bodies that our customers may expect may have an adverse impact on our business and results. Any inability in the future to achieve or maintain industry-specific certifications or other requirements or standards relevant to our customers may harm our business and adversely affect our results.

Further, in some cases, industry-specific, regionally-specific or product-specific laws, regulations or interpretive positions may impact our ability, as well as the ability of our customers, partners and data providers, to collect, augment, analyze, use, transfer and share personal and other information that is integral to certain services we provide. The interpretation of many of these statutes, regulations and rulings is evolving in the courts and administrative agencies and an inability to comply may have an adverse impact on our business and results. This impact may be particularly acute in countries that have passed or are considering passing legislation that requires data to remain localized "in country," as this may impose financial costs on companies required to store data in jurisdictions not of their choosing and to use nonstandard operational processes that add complexity and are difficult and costly to integrate with global processes. This is also true with respect to the global proliferation of laws regulating the financial services industry, including its use of cloud services. In Europe, the Digital Operational Resilience Act ("DORA") aims to ensure the resilience of the EU financial sectors, including through mandatory risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing and third-party outsourcing restrictions. The UK has implemented similar legislation and other countries may follow.

Further, jurisdictions are increasingly applying existing data privacy, consumer protection and other laws to AI, including emerging AI technologies such as generative AI, and are also enacting, or considering enacting, AI-specific legal frameworks, such as the EU AI Act, and the Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act and the draft CCPA regulations on automated decision-making technology. As these laws and regulations are implemented, interpreted and enforced, they may impose additional compliance obligations or restrictions on our products, services or business practices. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with applicable AI-related legal requirements could have an adverse impact on our business. Data privacy and other related regulations may also seek to impose additional direct security and enforcement obligations on us as a service provider or potentially require us to mandate specific security configurations for our customers. These requirements may impact the flexibility of our service offerings, increase our operational oversight costs, and potentially subject us to administrative sanctions.

There are also various statutes, regulations and regulatory rulings governing direct email marketing and text messaging, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") and related Federal Communication Commission orders, which impose significant restrictions on the use of telephone calls and text messages to mobile telephone numbers without prior consent. We have been, and may in the future be, subject to class action and individual lawsuits alleging that one of our businesses or customers violated the TCPA or similar communications-based laws. A determination that we or our customers failed to comply with such requirements could expose us to significant statutory damages or other liabilities that could, individually or in the aggregate, materially harm our business. In addition, many jurisdictions across the world are considering, or have begun implementing, changes to antitrust and competition laws, regulations or interpretative positions intended to enhance competition in digital markets or address practices perceived to be anticompetitive. These developments may result in new or expanded legal or regulatory obligations that require changes to our business practices, increased compliance costs, or other measures that could adversely affect our business and operating results.

***We have been and may in the future be sued by third parties for various claims, including alleged infringement of proprietary rights.***

We are involved in various legal matters arising from the normal course of business activities. These include claims, suits, government investigations and other proceedings involving alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, as well as commercial, corporate and securities, labor and employment, class actions, wage and hour, antitrust, data privacy, cybersecurity and other matters.

The software and Internet industries are characterized by the existence of many patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyrights and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We have received in the past and may receive in the future communications from third parties, including practicing entities and non-practicing entities, claiming that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. We have also been, and may in the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

future be, sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their claimed proprietary rights. Our technologies may be subject to injunction if they are found to infringe the rights of a third party or we may be required to pay damages, or both. Further, many of our subscription agreements require us to indemnify our customers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which would increase the cost to us of an adverse ruling on such a claim.

In addition, we have in the past been, and may in the future be, sued by third parties who seek to target us for actions taken by our customers, including through the use or misuse of our products. For example, we have been subject to allegations in legal proceedings that we should be liable for the use of certain of our products by third parties. Although we believe we have a strong defense for these claims, such claims could cause reputational harm to our brand or result in liability. Regardless of outcome, these types of claims could cause reputational harm to our brand or result in liability.

Our exposure to risks associated with various claims may be increased as a result of acquisitions of other companies. For example, we are subject to ongoing securities class action litigation and related stockholder derivative claims brought against Slack that remain outstanding, and as to which we may ultimately be subject to liability or settlement costs. Additionally, we may have a lower level of visibility into the development process with respect to intellectual property or the care taken to safeguard against infringement risks with respect to acquired companies or technologies. In addition, third parties have made claims in connection with our acquisitions and may do so in the future, and they may also make infringement and similar or related claims after we have acquired technology that had not been asserted prior to our acquisition.

The outcome of any claims or litigation, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. Any claims or lawsuits, and the disposition of such claims and lawsuits, whether through settlement or licensing discussions, or litigation, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, divert management attention from executing our business plan, result in efforts to enjoin our activities, lead to attempts on the part of other parties to pursue similar claims and, in the case of intellectual property claims, require us to change our technology, change our business practices, pay monetary damages or enter into short- or long-term royalty or licensing agreements.

Any adverse determination or settlement could prevent us from offering our services to others, could be material to our financial condition or cash flows, or both, or could otherwise adversely affect our current or future operating results, including our results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.

***Any failure to obtain registration or protection of our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand, causing us to incur significant expenses and harm our business.***

We may be required to spend significant resources and expense to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights. We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, it could impact our ability to protect our technology and brand. Furthermore, any litigation, whether or not it is resolved in our favor, could result in significant expense to us, cause us to divert time and resources from our core business, and harm our business.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

***We may be subject to risks related to government contracts and related procurement regulations.***

Our business depends, in part, on sales to government organizations, and significant changes in the contracting or fiscal policies of such government organizations could adversely affect our business and operating results. Contracting with federal, state, local and foreign governments or state-owned entities subjects us to various procurement regulations and other requirements relating to these contracts' formation, administration and performance, and how we engage with government officials. Government contracts may also at times be modified or terminated for convenience. We are from time to time subject to audits, inquiries and investigations relating to our government contracts, which may result in adverse perceptions of our business, reductions in utilization of our services or termination of our contracts without cause and at any time. Additionally, any violations could result in various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, refunding or suspending of payments, forfeiture of profits, payment of fines and suspension or debarment from future government business, as well as reputational harm. Additionally, our relationships with certain government entities may result in negative publicity or reputational harm. Furthermore, pressures on and uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal government's budget and potential changes in budgetary priorities could adversely affect the funding for and purchases of our services by government organizations. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could adversely impact our future sales, costs of doing business and operating results.

***We may be subject to risks from governmental sanctions and export and import controls that could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.***

Our solutions are subject to trade control laws and regulations where we conduct our business activities, including the U.S. Commerce Department's Export Administration Regulations, U.S. customs regulations, U.S. supply chain regulations and various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. If we fail to comply with applicable trade control laws and regulations, we and certain of our employees could be subject to substantial civil or criminal penalties, including the possible loss of trade privileges; fines, which may be imposed on us and responsible employees or managers; and, in extreme cases, the incarceration of responsible employees or managers. Obtaining necessary authorizations, including any required licenses, may be time-consuming, requires expenditure of corporate resources, is not guaranteed, and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities or the ability to realize value from certain acquisitions or engagements. Acquisitions may also subject us to successor liability and other integration compliance risks. Furthermore, export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations may prohibit or limit the transfer of certain products and services to embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments and parties. We can provide no assurance that any of the precautions we take to prevent our solutions from being provisioned or provided to sanctions targets in violation of applicable regulations will be effective, and, accordingly, our solutions could be provisioned or provided to those targets, including by our resellers or other third parties, which could have negative consequences for our business, including government investigations, penalties and reputational harm. Changes in our solutions or trade control laws and regulations may create delays in the introduction, sale and deployment of our solutions in international markets or prevent the export or import of our solutions to certain countries, governments or persons altogether. Any decreased use of our solutions or limitation on our ability to export or sell our solutions may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Sanctions and export and import control regulations in the United States and other countries are subject to change and uncertainty, including as a result of tariff policy changes, rapidly evolving technology, increased government regulation of AI and cloud service solutions, and geopolitical developments such as events affecting relations between the United States and China, multi-jurisdictional sanctions on Russia, the war in Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East. Regulators in the United States and elsewhere have signaled an increased emphasis on sanctions and export control enforcement, including efforts to combat diversion of services to sanctioned countries and parties, several recent high-profile enforcement actions and increased pressure for companies to self-disclose potential violations.

**Financial Risks**

***Because we generally recognize revenue from subscriptions for our services over the term of the subscription, downturns or upturns in new business may not be immediately reflected in our operating results.***

We generally recognize revenue from customers ratably over the terms of their subscription and support agreements, which are typically 12 to 36 months. As a result, most of the revenue we report in each quarter is the result of subscription and support agreements entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed subscriptions in any one quarter may not be reflected in our revenue results for that quarter but will negatively impact our revenue in future quarters. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our services, and changes in our attrition rate, may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. Our subscription model also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from new customers must be recognized over the applicable subscription and support term.

***If we experience significant fluctuations in our rate of anticipated growth and fail to balance our expenses with our revenue forecasts, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.***

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

Due to the unpredictability of future general economic and financial market conditions, we may not be able to realize our projected revenue growth plans. We plan our expense and investment levels based on estimates of future revenue and future anticipated rate of growth. We may not be able to adjust our spending appropriately if the addition of new subscriptions or the renewals of existing subscriptions fall short of our expectations, and unanticipated events may cause us to incur expenses beyond what we anticipated. A portion of our expenses may also be fixed in nature for some minimum amount of time, such as with costs capitalized to obtain revenue contracts, data center and infrastructure service contracts or office leases, so it may not be possible to reduce costs in a timely manner, or at all, without the payment of fees to exit certain obligations early. Additionally, if sales through indirect channels or for consumption-based product offerings increase, this may lead to greater difficulty in forecasting revenue and anticipated rate of growth. As a result, our revenues, operating results and cash flows may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and revenue growth rates may not be sustainable and may decline in the future. If we are not able to provide continued operating margin expansion, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.

***Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate and additional tax liabilities and global tax developments may impact our financial results.***

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and various other jurisdictions. Significant judgment is often required in the determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rate could be impacted by changes in our earnings and losses in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in operations, changes in non-deductible expenses, changes in the tax effects of stock-based compensation expense, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and our ability to utilize them, the applicability of withholding taxes, effects from acquisitions and changes in accounting principles and tax laws. Any changes, ambiguity or uncertainty in taxing jurisdictions' administrative interpretations, decisions, policies and positions could also materially impact our income tax liabilities. For example, as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), we could be subject to Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax ("CAMT"). Our tax provision may be adversely impacted to the extent additional clarification or interpretive guidance related to the OBBBA is released, or if there are changes to our valuation allowance assessment related to CAMT.

We may also be subject to additional tax liabilities and penalties due to changes in non-income based taxes resulting from changes in federal, state, local or international tax laws, changes in taxing jurisdictions' administrative interpretations, decisions, policies and positions, results of tax examinations, settlements or judicial decisions, changes in accounting principles, or changes to our business operations, including as a result of acquisitions. Any resulting increase in our tax obligation or cash taxes paid could adversely affect our cash flows and financial results.

We are also subject to tax examinations or engaged in alternative resolutions in multiple jurisdictions. While we regularly evaluate new information that may change our judgment resulting in recognition, derecognition or changes in measurement of a tax position taken, there can be no assurance that the final determination of any examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results or financial position.

As our business continues to grow, increasing our brand recognition and profitability, we may be subject to increased scrutiny and corresponding tax disputes, which may impact our cash flows and financial results. Furthermore, our growing prominence may bring public attention to our tax profile, and if perceived negatively, may cause brand or reputational harm.

Global tax developments may have a material impact on our business, cash flows, or financial results. For example, heightened interest in multinationals participating in the digital economy led many countries to adopt Pillar Two, a 15% corporate minimum tax proposed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD"). In January 2026, the OECD introduced new guidance including a "side-by-side safe harbor" which, if elected, exempts U.S. parented groups from certain provisions of Pillar Two. However, the election does not relieve foreign subsidiaries from certain jurisdiction specific minimum taxes. The guidance will need to be incorporated into local tax legislation to be effective.

***We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates that have in the past and could in the future negatively impact our financial results and cash flows from changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar versus local currencies.***

We primarily conduct our business in the following regions: the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. The expanding global scope of our business exposes us to risk of fluctuations in foreign currency markets, including in emerging markets. This exposure is the result of selling in multiple currencies, growth in our international investments, additional headcount in foreign locations, and operating in countries where the functional currency is the local currency. Specifically, our results of operations and cash flows are subject to currency fluctuations primarily in Euro, British Pound Sterling, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real and Indian Rupee against the U.S. Dollar. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve, economic and political conditions change and evolving tax regulations come into effect. The fluctuations of currencies in which we conduct business can both increase and decrease our overall revenue and expenses for any given fiscal period. Furthermore, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, combined with the seasonality of our business, could affect our ability to accurately predict our future results and earnings.

Additionally, global events as well as geopolitical developments, including the war in Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East, fluctuating commodity prices, uncertainty regarding changes in trade policy and inflation, have caused, and may in the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8be37ea720be43268c2fe84c43af5767_16)</u>

future cause, global economic uncertainty and uncertainty about the interest rate environment, which has and could in the future amplify the volatility of currency fluctuations. We attempt to mitigate some of this volatility by using derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, to hedge exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our hedging activities are limited in scope and may not effectively offset the adverse financial impacts that may result from unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates, which could adversely impact our financial condition or results of operations.

***Our debt service obligations, lease commitments and other contractual obligations may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.***

As of April 30, 2026, we had a substantial level of outstanding debt, including our Senior Notes. We are also party to the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement, which provides for our $5.0 billion Credit Facility, as well as the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement. Although there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility as of April 30, 2026, we may use the proceeds of future borrowings under the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. In March 2026, we borrowed $6.0 billion under the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement to repay in full the outstanding principal under the Informatica Credit Agreements and to pay related fees and expenses. In March 2026, we also issued the March 2026 Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 billion, with maturities ranging from 2028 to 2066. We used the net proceeds from the March 2026 Notes to fund an accelerated share repurchase program of our common stock.

In addition to the outstanding and potential debt obligations above, we have also recorded substantial liabilities associated with noncancellable future payments on our long-term lease agreements. We also have significant other contractual commitments, including leases that have not yet commenced and commitments with infrastructure service providers, which are not reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, under the ASR agreements, volatility in our stock price may obligate us to deliver shares of our common stock or make a cash payment to the counterparty upon final settlement.

Maintenance of our indebtedness and contractual commitments and any additional issuances of indebtedness could:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate or other purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cause us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations toward debt service obligations and principal repayments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make us more vulnerable to downturns in our business, our industry or the economy in general.

Our ability to meet our expense and debt obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic, regulatory and other factors. We will not be able to control many of these factors, such as economic conditions and governmental regulations. Further, our operations may not generate sufficient cash to enable us to service our debt or contractual obligations resulting from our leases. If we fail to make a payment on our debt, we could be in default on such debt. If we are at any time unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to service our indebtedness when payment is due, we may be required to attempt to renegotiate the terms of the instruments relating to the indebtedness, seek to refinance all or a portion of the indebtedness or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that we would be able to successfully renegotiate such terms, that any such refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us. Any new or refinanced debt may be subject to substantially higher interest rates, which could adversely affect our financial condition and impact our business.

In addition, adverse changes by any rating agency to our credit ratings may negatively impact our reputation, the value and liquidity of both our debt and equity securities, as well as the potential costs associated with a refinancing of our debt. Downgrades in our credit ratings could also affect the terms of any such refinancing or future financing or restrict our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

The indentures governing our Senior Notes and the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement impose restrictions on us and require us to maintain compliance with specified covenants. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control. A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of our outstanding debt could result in events of default under such instruments, which could permit acceleration of all of our debt and borrowings. Any required repayment of our debt as a result of a fundamental change or other acceleration would lower our current cash on our balance sheet such that we would not have those funds available for use in our business.

Lease accounting guidance requires that we record a liability for operating lease activity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, which increases both our assets and liabilities and therefore may impact our ability to obtain the necessary financing from financial institutions at commercially viable rates or at all. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Periods beyond the noncancellable term of the lease are included in the measurement of the lease liability and associated asset only when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the associated extension option or waive the termination option. We reassess the lease term if and when a significant event or change in circumstances occurs within our control. The potential impact of these options to extend could be material to our financial position and financial results.

**Risks Related to Owning Our Common Stock**

***Our quarterly results are likely to fluctuate, which may cause the value of our common stock to decline substantially.***

Our quarterly results have fluctuated, and are likely to fluctuate in the future, as a result of a number of known and unknown factors, including: the factors described in this Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report; the cyclical nature and seasonality of our sales cycle and our customers' businesses, especially our Commerce service offering customers; the global economic impact of geopolitical events, including ongoing conflicts and uncertainty about the interest rate environment; the timing of contract execution and term software license sales; the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the operations and expansion of our business; the timing of commission, bonus and other compensation payments to employees; expenses related to our real estate or changes in the nature or extent of our use of existing real estate, including our office leases and data centers; expenses related to significant, unusual or discrete events, which are recorded in the period in which the events occur, including litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments; and equity or debt issuances, including as consideration in or in conjunction with acquisitions. In addition, our fiscal fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter for new business and renewals, and the year-over-year compounding effect of this seasonality in billing patterns and overall new business and renewal activity causes the value of invoices that we generate in the fourth quarter to continually increase in proportion to our billings in the other three quarters of our fiscal year. As a result, our fiscal first quarter has typically been our largest collections and operating cash flow quarter. Many of these factors are outside of our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might negatively and materially impact our operating results.

***Our stock price is likely to be volatile and could subject us to litigation.***

The stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, has historically been highly volatile. Accordingly, our stock price has been and is likely to continue to be subject to wide fluctuations. Our stock price could be affected by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including: the factors described in this Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report; announcements or rumors by us or our competitors regarding technological innovations, new services or service enhancements, strategic alliances, mergers, other strategic acquisitions or significant agreements, customer additions, customer cancellations or delays in customer purchases; investor sentiment regarding AI-related business models, our competitors, and our industry in general; variations in our financial results and how those results compare to analyst expectations; changes to guidance or long-range targets, in the estimates of our operating results or in recommendations by securities analysts that follow our stock; variations in investors' or analysts' valuation metrics and modeling for our business; the issuance of, changes to, or our ability to meet or exceed, our forward-looking guidance and long-range targets, estimates or recommendations by analysts, or expectations of investors, analysts or others; the coverage of our business in the press, social media, and analyst community; the economy as a whole, geopolitical conditions, including global trade and health concerns, market conditions in our and our customers' industries, and financial institution instability; trading activity by our stockholders, including institutional or activist investors; changes in the amounts and frequency of share repurchases or dividends; issuance of equity, debt or other convertible securities; changes to our credit ratings; and issues impacting our brand and reputation.

Some companies that have experienced volatility in their stock price have been the subject of securities class action litigation, such as the securities litigation brought against Slack before our acquisition. Such litigation, whether against us or an acquired subsidiary, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources and any liability resulting from or the settlement of such litigation could result in material adverse impacts to our operating cash flows or results of operations for a given period.

***Provisions in our governing documents and Delaware law might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of the Company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress our stock price.***

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could depress our stock price by acting to discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company or changes in our management that our stockholders may deem advantageous. These provisions among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• permit the Board to establish the number of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that our board could use to implement a stockholder rights plan (also known as a "poison pill");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• prohibit stockholder action by written consent, requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a stockholder meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• permit the Board to make, alter or repeal our bylaws; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at annual stockholder meetings.

In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company. Section 203 imposes certain restrictions on merger, business combinations and other transactions between us and holders of 15 percent or more of our common stock.

***There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends in any particular amounts, or at all.***

Whether we continue to pay cash dividends, as well as the rate at which we pay cash dividends, in the future is subject to continued capital availability, general economic and market conditions, applicable laws and agreements and our Board continuing to determine that the declaration of dividends is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The declaration and payment of any dividend may be discontinued at any time and dividend amounts may be reduced at any time. A discontinuation of or reduction in our dividend payments could have a negative effect on our stock price.

**General Risks**

***Volatile and significantly weakened global economic conditions have in the past and may in the future adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.***

Our overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions. The United States and other key international economies have experienced significant economic and market downturns in the past, and are likely to experience additional cyclical downturns from time to time in which economic activity is impacted by falling demand for a variety of goods and services, restricted credit, poor liquidity, reduced corporate profitability, volatility in credit, equity and foreign exchange markets, inflation, bankruptcies and overall uncertainty with respect to the economy. These economic conditions can arise suddenly and the full impact of such conditions can be difficult to predict. In addition, geopolitical and domestic political developments, such as uncertainty regarding changes in trade policy, including the threat or imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions and related retaliatory actions, as well as other events beyond our control, such as war in Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East, have increased and may continue to increase levels of political and economic unpredictability globally and the volatility of global financial markets. Moreover, these conditions have affected and may continue to affect the rate of IT spending; could adversely affect our customers' ability or willingness to attend our events or to purchase our enterprise cloud computing services; have delayed and may delay customer purchasing decisions; and have reduced and may in the future reduce the value and duration of customer subscription contracts or cause our customers to seek to modify their existing subscription contracts. All of these risks and conditions could materially adversely affect our future sales, attrition rates and operating results.

***Geopolitical crises, natural disasters and other catastrophic events beyond our control have in the past and may in the future materially adversely affect us.***

Geopolitical crises, natural disasters or other catastrophic events have in the past and may in the future cause damage or disruption to our people, operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations, as well as the business operations of our customers and third-party providers or suppliers that we rely on, are subject to interruption by geopolitical crises, natural disasters, fire, power or water shutoffs or shortages, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, acts of violence, political and/or civil unrest, acts of war or other military actions, actual or threatened public health emergencies and other events beyond our control. For example, the occurrence of regional conflicts, epidemics or a global pandemic have in the past and may in the future materially affect how we and our customers operate our businesses, as well as our operating results and cash flows. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, if such catastrophic events occur it could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers or negatively impact demand for our services, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

***Climate change may have an impact on our business.***

While we seek to mitigate our business risks associated with climate change by establishing appropriate environmental programs and partnering with organizations who are focused on mitigating their own climate-related risks, there are inherent climate-related risks to our business. In particular, increased energy consumption, including as a result of AI-related growth, climate-related events, energy market volatility, and power grid disruptions, may increase the operational costs related to inputs across our value chain, including for data centers. Any of our primary locations may be vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. For example, our offices globally are projected to continue to experience climate-related events at increased frequency, including drought, water scarcity, heat waves, cold waves, flooding, wildfires and resultant air quality impacts and power shutoffs. These events in turn have impacts on inflation risks, the cost and availability of insurance, food security, water security (including for water availability for data center cooling), energy security and on our employees' health, productivity and well-being. Changing market dynamics, global policy developments and the increasing frequency and impact of extreme weather events on critical infrastructure have the potential to disrupt our business, as well as the business of the companies we invest in, third-party providers or suppliers that we rely on, and our customers, and may cause us to experience higher attrition, losses and additional costs to maintain or resume operations.

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board authorized the Share Repurchase Program, which commenced in fiscal 2023. In February 2026, the Board authorized $50.0 billion in share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program that replaced the previous remaining unpurchased authorization. The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration date and does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. Under the Share Repurchase Program, shares of common stock may be repurchased using a variety of methods, including privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, as part of accelerated share repurchases and other methods. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases are determined by the Company in its discretion and depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. All repurchases disclosed in the table were made pursuant to the publicly announced Share Repurchase Program.

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreements, the Company made up-front payments totaling $25.0 billion and received an initial delivery of approximately 103 million shares of its common stock. The initial share delivery represented approximately 80 percent of the total shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreements. The remaining authorized amount under the Share Repurchase Program was reduced by the full $25.0 billion in up-front payments made as part of the March 2026 accelerated share repurchase.

Miguel Milano

[REDACTED]<br>[REDACTED]<br>[REDACTED]

Dear Miguel,

I am pleased to offer you a position with Salesforce, Inc. (the "Company") as a President, Chief Revenue Officer for a start date of August 1, 2023, reporting to Brian Millham, Chief Operating Officer. This offer of employment is contingent upon acceptable results from a background investigation. This offer is also contingent upon your being eligible to work in the United States. For purposes of federal immigration law, you will be required to provide the Company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in the United States. Such documentation must be provided to us within three (3) business days of your hire date, or your employment may be terminated. If you require work sponsorship, the Company will sponsor you for a work visa to the extent of your eligibility.

In the event Salesforce is required to obtain an U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry & Security export license for your employment, this offer is contingent upon receipt of that license. In support of that application process, you will be required to provide additional information to support the U.S. export license application submission.

**I. Compensation**

***Base Salary***

If you decide to join us, you will receive an initial annual base salary of $900,000.00, which will be paid semi-monthly in accordance with the Company's normal payroll procedures. Your base salary and any other amounts or benefits you are entitled to receive from the Company will be paid or provided to you less applicable withholdings.

***Gratitude Bonus***

In addition, you will be eligible to receive an initial annual discretionary bonus pursuant to the Company's Gratitude Bonus Plan based on your individual performance, Company performance, and the Company's funding formula. Your initial bonus target for the Company's fiscal year (February 1 through January 31) shall be 100% of your base salary and will be paid according to the terms of the Gratitude Bonus Plan, which is subject to change at the Company's discretion, and prorated accordingly for any fiscal year in which you do not work a full twelve months.

***Retention Bonuses***

The Company is pleased to offer you a retention bonus of **$3,000,000** (the "Retention Bonus") (to be paid less applicable taxes and withholdings). The Retention Bonus will be earned as follows:

------

![image_1.jpg](image_1.jpg)

You will earn and the Company will pay you **$1,500,000** of the Retention Bonus if you remain actively employed with the Company in the Chief Revenue Officer position and you continue to perform your duties in that position through **August 1, 2024** ("First Retention Date"). You will also earn and the Company will pay you an additional **$375,000** of the Retention Bonus each time you remain actively employed with the Company and you continue to perform your duties satisfactorily through **November 1, 2024** ("Second Retention Date"), **February 1, 2025** ("Third Retention Date"), **May 1, 2025** ("Fourth Retention Date"), and **August 1, 2025** ("Fifth Retention Date"); and provided that prior to each Retention Date your employment with the Company does not end in a manner that constitutes a Disqualifying Termination (as defined below).

The payment of the applicable Retention Bonus, less applicable withholdings, will occur no later than 15 calendar days after the applicable Retention Date.

If you have a Disqualifying Termination before the applicable Retention Date, you will not have earned and will not be entitled to payment for any portion of such Retention Bonus or any subsequent Retention Bonus. However, if your employment terminates for reasons other than a Disqualifying Termination, you will be entitled to the Retention Bonus(es) you would have earned had you remained an employee through the Fifth Retention Date.

**Disqualifying Termination**

"Disqualifying Termination" shall mean that you voluntarily resigned your employment for any reason, or are terminated for Cause (as defined below).

For purposes of this letter, "Cause" shall mean your: (i) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony; (ii) failure to perform the duties of your position as determined by the Company; (iii) chronic un-approved absenteeism from the Company; (iv) engaging in conduct that violates the Company's Code of Conduct or other policies; (v) engaging in any willful act or omission outside the ordinary course of your duties for the Company which materially injures or could reasonably be expected to materially injure the financial condition or business reputation of the Company; (vi) engaging, in connection with your services for the Company, in material misconduct or material neglect (including, without limitation, fraud, dishonesty, misappropriation, embezzlement or gross neglect); or (vii) breach of the Proprietary Rights Agreement or material breach of any other agreement with the Company.

**Relocation Assistance**

You are eligible to receive relocation assistance pursuant to the Company's relocation plan, the material terms of which are summarized in Exhibit A. The details of your relocation package will be sent to you under separate cover per the Company's relocation policy.

**II. Equity Grants**

***Restricted Stock Units***

In addition, we intend to recommend that you be granted, subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors ("the Board"), Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"), the number of which shall be calculated as follows: $5,500,000 USD divided by the average closing sale price of one share of salesforce common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. The RSUs shall vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 1/16th of the grant amount each quarter thereafter, subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in the RSU Award agreement and Salesforce, Inc. equity plan(s), as may be modified from time to time (the "2013 Equity Incentive Plan").

***Performance Restricted Stock Units***

In addition, we intend to recommend that you be granted, subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors ("the Board"), Performance-based Restricted Stock Units ("PRSUs") in the amount of $5,500,000 USD. The PRSU grant value will be converted into units using the fair market value of one PRSU share on the date in which the PRSU

------

![image_1.jpg](image_1.jpg)

Award is granted. The earned PRSU Award at the end of the three-year performance period, if any, will be based on a) 50% on the achievement of non-GAAP operating margin targets for each of the 2024, 2025, and 2026 fiscal years (with ⅙ of the total target shares tied to each of the three, one-year measurement periods), and b) 50% on the achievement of relative total shareholder return ("rTSR") over the three-year performance period from the date of grant, all subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and the PRSU Award agreement.

***Conditions Applicable to RSUs and PRSUs***

The above grants are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and your grant agreement(s), which will be provided to you shortly after the grant date, and the laws of your state and/or country of residence. The vesting date of RSU and PRSU grants will be set upon the Board's approval and you will be notified in writing of the same. The Company will provide you with a copy of the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan upon request.

The Company reserves the absolute right in its sole discretion to suspend, modify, cancel or terminate the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan at any time without compensation to you or any other of the participating employees. Your participation in the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan is entirely voluntary and the benefits that are afforded under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan do not form an employment contract with the Company or its subsidiaries. The RSUs and PRSUs acquired under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan are not part of your salary or other remuneration for any purposes, including, in the event your employment is terminated, for purposes of computing payment during any notice period, payment in lieu of notice, severance pay, other termination compensation or indemnity (if any) or any similar payments. You remain responsible to comply with any applicable legal requirements in connection with your participation in the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and for any taxes arising from the grant, vesting or exercise of RSUs, PRSUs, the subsequent sale of your shares and the receipt of any dividends (regardless of any tax withholding and/or reporting obligations). Further, we recommend that you seek independent advice from your personal accountant or tax advisor at your own expense regarding the tax implications of your participation in the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

**III. Employee Benefits**

As a Company employee, you are also eligible to receive certain employee benefits. The Company reserves the right to change the benefits and compensation programs at any time.

**Severance Benefits**

In the event the Company terminates your employment for reasons other than Cause as defined in Section I. above and conditional upon you signing a full and final (irrevocable) release of claims in the Company's standard form, you will be eligible for severance payments equal to one year of your annual base salary plus an amount equal to your annual bonus target, each at the level in effect immediately prior to your termination date, to be paid, less applicable withholdings, in monthly installments for twelve (12) months following your termination date. Eligibility for the severance payments is also conditional upon not providing services to a competitor, as determined by the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a qualifying termination during the Change of Control Period as defined by the Change of Control and Retention Agreement ("**Change of Control Agreement**") applicable to Section 16 Officers (as defined under Section 16 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), and so long as you are a Section 16 Officer of the Company, you will be eligible for the Change of Control severance payments under the Change of Control Agreement and not the severance payments outlined in this paragraph.

**IV. At-Will Employment**

If you choose to accept this offer, your employment with the Company will be "at-will" and will be for no specified period. As a result, you will be free to resign at any time, for any reason or for no reason, as you deem appropriate. The Company will have a similar right and may conclude its employment relationship with you at any time, with or without cause or advance notice. This also means that the Company can change or modify the terms and conditions

------

![image_1.jpg](image_1.jpg)

of your employment including, without limitation, your job duties, reporting structure and compensation, at any time with or without cause. Nothing in this offer letter modifies or changes your status as an at-will employee.

**V. Obligations to Third Parties**

In your work for the Company, you will be prohibited from using or disclosing any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information of any former employer or other person to whom you have an obligation of confidentiality. Rather, you will be required to use only information that is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to your own, is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or is otherwise provided or developed by the Company. You agree that you will not bring onto Company premises or use in your work for the Company any unpublished documents or property belonging to any former employer or third party that you are not authorized to use and disclose. You further represent that when working for the Company, you will not violate the terms of any restrictive contract you might have signed with a former employer or other person. By accepting employment with the Company, you are representing that you will be able to perform your job duties within these parameters.

In the event any previous employer of yours alleges that your joining the Company is a breach of a non-compete or other restrictive-covenant agreement between you and that employer, you understand that the Company will not indemnify you or pay for your representation against any such claims. You further understand that if a court or arbitrator determines or mandates that you may not work for the Company for a period of time as a result of a restrictive covenant that you signed with a previous employer, you will not be entitled to any pay or equity vesting from the Company during that period and the Company may terminate your employment. You understand that you are responsible for obtaining your own legal advice on the enforceability and extent of any restrictive covenants you have signed with any former employer.

**VI. Arbitration Agreement**

Attached to this offer letter is an arbitration agreement for your review. Once you have reviewed it, please sign and date it where indicated and return it along with the other documents provided with this offer letter in the enclosed envelope.

**VII. Outside Business Activities and Board Membership**

Because of the nature of the Company's business and the identities of our customers, partners and prospects, outside activities (including for example sitting on the board of another company) may present many areas of actual or potential conflict. If you wish to engage in any outside activities that take time away from your job at the Company, create a possible conflict with the Company or are related in any way to the Company's business, you must disclose these activities to the Company immediately and prior to your start date.

**VIII. Section 409A**

The Company intends for all payments and benefits under this offer letter to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any guidance promulgated thereunder ("Section 409A") so that you will not be subject to an additional tax under Section 409A on any payments or benefits under this offer letter, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to so comply or be exempt. As a result, payment of all or a portion of any termination-related benefits will be delayed until the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date that is 6 months and 1 day following your termination of employment if and to the extent necessary to avoid subjecting you to an additional tax under Section 409A on any such termination-related payments. In addition, each payment and benefit payable under this offer letter is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. You and the Company agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this offer letter and to take such reasonable actions that are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid subjecting you to an additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A prior to actual payment of any payments and benefits under this offer letter, as applicable. In no event will the Company reimburse you for any taxes that may be imposed on you as a result of Section 409A.

------

![image_1.jpg](image_1.jpg)

**IX. Miscellaneous**

You will be asked to provide your social security number for an I-9 form as part of your on-boarding process. Please note that we will also be using your social security number for purposes of benefits and payroll administration.

This U.S. offer letter replaces the UK employment agreement dated May 11, 2023 executed by you and Salesforce UK Ltd ("UK Employment Agreement").
