Braze also reiterated guidance on its non-GAAP operating loss
margin, which it believes will be negative 7% or better during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024.
Braze has not reconciled its guidance as to non-GAAP operating
loss, non-GAAP operating loss margin, non-GAAP net loss or non-GAAP
net loss per share to their most directly comparable GAAP measure
as a result of uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability
of, reconciling items such as stock-based compensation expense
specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted
by unpredictable fluctuations in Braze’s stock price. Accordingly,
reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort,
although it is important to note that these factors could be
material to Braze’s results calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Supplemental and Other Financial
Information
Supplemental information, including an accompanying financial
presentation and other information can be accessed through Braze’s
investor website at investors.braze.com
Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables contain the
following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit and
margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and
development expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense,
non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating income margin, non-GAAP
net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, and
non-GAAP free cash flow. Braze defines non-GAAP gross profit and
margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and
development expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense,
non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating income margin, and
non-GAAP net loss as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for
stock-based compensation expense, employer taxes related to
stock-based compensation, charitable contribution expense,
acquisition related expense, amortization of intangible assets, and
restructuring expense. Prior to the fourth quarter of the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2023, Braze did not adjust non-GAAP gross
profit and margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP
research and development expense, non-GAAP general and
administrative expense, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating
income margin, or non-GAAP net loss for acquisition related
expense, because there was not acquisition activity by Braze in
prior periods. Additionally, prior to the second quarter of the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, Braze did not adjust non-GAAP
gross profit and margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense,
non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP general and
administrative expense, non-GAAP operating loss or non-GAAP net
loss for amortization of intangible assets, because there were no
such amortizations in prior periods, or for restructuring expense,
because such amounts were not material in prior periods. Braze
defines non-GAAP free cash flow as net cash used in operating
activities, minus purchases of property and equipment and minus
capitalized internal-use software costs. Investors are encouraged
to review the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures.
Braze uses this non-GAAP financial information internally in
analyzing its financial results and believes that this non-GAAP
financial information, when taken collectively with GAAP financial
measures, may be helpful to investors because it provides
consistency and comparability with past financial performance and
assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use
similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP
results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for
supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be
considered a substitute for financial information presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (GAAP), and may be different from similarly-titled
non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is
that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to
be recorded in Braze’s financial statements. In addition, they are
subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of
judgment by Braze’s management about which expenses are excluded or
included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. A
reconciliation is provided below in the financial statement tables
included below in this press release for each non-GAAP financial
measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in
accordance with GAAP.
Braze encourages investors to review the related GAAP financial
measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures,
which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly and fiscal
year financial results, including this press release, and not to
rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Braze’s
business.
Definition of Other Business
Metrics
Customer: Braze defines a customer, as of period end, as the
separate and distinct, ultimate parent-level entity that has an
active subscription with Braze to use its products. A single
organization could have multiple distinct contracting divisions or
subsidiaries, all of which together would be considered a single
customer.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): Braze defines ARR as the
annualized value of customer subscription contracts, including
certain premium professional services that are subject to
contractual subscription terms, as of the measurement date,
assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is
renewed on its existing terms (including contracts for which Braze
is negotiating a renewal). Braze’s calculation of ARR is not
adjusted for the impact of any known or projected future events
(such as customer cancellations, expansion or contraction of
existing customers relationships or price increases or decreases)
that may cause any such contract not to be renewed on its existing
terms. ARR may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of
factors, including customers’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction with
Braze’s products and professional services, pricing, competitive
offerings, economic conditions or overall changes in Braze’s
customers’ spending levels. ARR should be viewed independently of
revenue and does not represent Braze’s GAAP revenue on an
annualized basis or a forecast of revenue, as it is an operating
metric that can be impacted by contract start and end dates and
renewal rates.
Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate: Braze calculates dollar-based
net retention rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from
a cohort of customers as of 12 months prior to such period-end (the
Prior Period ARR). Braze then calculates the ARR from the same
cohort of customers as of the end of the current period (the
Current Period ARR). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and
is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months, but
excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. Braze then
divides the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR
to arrive at the point-in-time dollar-based net retention rate.
Braze then calculates the weighted average point-in-time
dollar-based net retention rates as of the last day of each month
in the current trailing 12-month period to arrive at the
dollar-based net retention rate.
Remaining Performance Obligations: The transaction price
allocated to remaining performance obligations represents amounts
under non-cancelable contracts expected to be recognized as revenue
in future periods, and may be influenced by several factors,
including seasonality, the timing of renewals, the timing of
service delivery and contract terms. Unbilled portions of the
remaining performance obligation are subject to future economic
risks including bankruptcies, regulatory changes and other market
factors.
