‌FY27 Updote - DisoggregotedRevenue

In the Agentic Enterprise, how we develop, sell, serve, & engage customers is being transformed by agents. Today, the cases on help.saIesforce.com are resolved by agents and humans, and this is the future of every customer interaction. As this extends across the enterprise, our data and platform foundation is more critical than ever, powering every agent, app, and workflow. Our revenue disclosures now reflect both: Agentforce Apps, and the Data 360 & Headless Platform foundation powering it all.

AgenXorce Apps

Groups our applications with Agentforce, to reflect how Agentforce is embedded in every app

Doto 360, Heodless PloXorm, & Other Groups our data context layer and unified platform, to reflect the foundation powering Agentforce Apps *$

‌Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation includes information about non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, free cash flow and free cash flow growth, constant currency revenue and revenue growth rates, and constant currency current remaining performance obligation growth rates (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures"). These non-GAAP financial measures are measurements of financial performance that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and computational methods may differ from those used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating the Company's performance.

The primary purpose of using non-GAAP financial measures is to provide supplemental information that may prove useful to investors and to enable investors to evaluate the Company's results in the same way management does. Management believes that supplementing GAAP disclosure with non-GAAP disclosure provides investors with a more complete view of the Company's operational performance and allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in the Company's business. Further, to the extent that other companies use similar methods in calculating non-GAAP financial measures, the provision of supplemental non-GAAP information can allow for a comparison of the Company's relative performance against other companies that also report non-GAAP operating results.

Non-GAAP operating margin is the proportion of non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP income from operations excludes the impact of the following items: stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and charges related to restructuring initiatives and acquisition-related costs.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excludes, to the extent applicable, the impact of the following items: stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, charges related to restructuring initiatives and acquisition-related costs and income tax adjustments. These items are excluded because the decisions that give rise to them are not made to increase revenue in a particular period, but instead for the Company's long-term benefit over multiple periods.

The Company defines the non-GAAP measure free cash flow as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures.

Constant currency information is provided as a framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present constant currency revenue, current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the quarter being compared to for growth rate calculations presented, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during that period. To present current remaining performance obligation on a constant currency basis, we convert the current remaining performance obligation balances in local currencies in previous comparable periods using the United States dollar currency exchange rate as of the most recent balance sheet date.

Other Metrics: The Company defines Agentforce and Data 360 annual recurring revenue ("ARR") as the annualized recurring value of active Data 360 and certain generative artificial intelligence ("AI") subscription agreements, including those for Agentforce and generative AI products and features, that were executed at the end of the reporting period. The Company defines Informatica Cloud ARR as the annualized recurring value of active Informatica Cloud subscription agreements that were executed at the end of the reporting period. The Company defines Public Sector ARR as the annualized recurring value of active Public Sector Industry cloud subscription agreements that were executed at the end of the reporting period.

The Company defines Net New Annual Order Value ("NNAOV") as the net change in the annual order value of our customer subscription agreements during a given period. NNAOV is calculated as the sum of: (i) the annualized contract value from new and existing customers who enter into subscription agreements during the period; less (ii) the reduction in annualized order value from customer cancellations, non-renewals, or downgrades during the period.

The Company defines an Agentic Work Unit ("AWU") as a measure of discrete tasks executed by AI agents in production across the Salesforce platform, including Agentforce and Slack. AWUs represent the conversion of generative AI capabilities into measurable business outputs, such as resolving customer cases, updating records or triggering automated workflows.

1Non-GAAP income from operations is used to calculate non-GAAP operating margin. It excludes the impact of the amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and charges related to the Company's restructuring initiatives and acquisition-related costs.

2GAAP operating margin is the proportion of GAAP income from operations as a percentage of GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP operating margin is the proportion of non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of GAAP revenue.

3Free cash flow ("FCF") is defined as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures.

4The percentages shown above have been calculated based on the midpoint of the low and high ends of the revenue guidance for full year FY27.

5The percentages shown in the restructuring and acquisition-related costs line have been calculated based on charges associated with the Company's restructuring initiatives and acquisition-related costs. Stock-based compensation expense excludes stock-based compensation expense related to the Company's restructuring initiatives, which is included in the restructuring and acquisition-related costs line.

6GAAP diluted earning per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing GAAP net income by number of diluted shares. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by number of diluted shares. It excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, charges related to the restructuring initiatives and acquisition-related costs and income tax adjustments.

7The Company's shares used in computing GAAP net income per share guidance and non-GAAP net income per share guidance reflect the reduction to share count from the 103 million shares initially delivered under the ASR, but 26

excludes any impact to share count from the final ASR settlement or potential Q2 - Q4 FY27 repurchase activity under our share repurchase program.
