of the shares issuable upon conversion of our 0% convertible senior
notes due 2027 and 0% convertible senior notes due 2029 using the
if-converted method, estimated to be approximately 20 million
shares for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 based on the current
conversion price, is reflected in our guidance for weighted-average
shares used in computing net income per share attributable to

by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of our
common stock or a combination of both.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding
GAAP guidance measures is not available on a forward-looking basis
without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and
the potential variability of, expenses that may be incurred in the
future. Stock-based compensation-related charges, including
employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions,
are impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions, the
future fair market value of our common stock, and our future hiring
and retention needs, all of which are difficult to predict and
subject to constant change. These factors could be material to our
results computed in accordance with GAAP. We have provided a
reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the
financial statement tables for our historical non-GAAP financial
results included in this release. Our fiscal year ends January 31,
and numbers are rounded for presentation purposes.
Convertible Senior Notes
In September 2024, we completed a private offering of $1.15
billion aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes
due 2027 (2027 Notes) and $1.15 billion aggregate principal amount
of 0% convertible senior notes due 2029 (2029 Notes, and together
with the 2027 Notes, the Notes). The total proceeds from the Notes
offering were approximately $2.27 billion, net of $31.2 million of
debt issuance costs.
In connection with the Notes offering, we used a portion of the
net proceeds from the offering to (i) pay the $195.5 million cost
of the privately negotiated capped call transactions relating to
each series of the Notes and (ii) repurchase $399.6 million of our
common stock from purchasers of the Notes in the offering in
privately negotiated transactions at a purchase price of $112.50
per share.

Statement Regarding Use of Non‑GAAP Financial
Measures
We report the following non-GAAP financial measures, which have
not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (GAAP), in addition to, and not as
a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP.
- Non-GAAP Product gross profit, Operating income, Net income,
Net income attributable to Snowflake Inc., and Net income per share
attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders—basic and
diluted. Non-GAAP product gross profit, operating income, net
income, and net income attributable to Snowflake Inc. are each
defined as the respective GAAP measure, excluding, as applicable,
the effect of (i) stock-based compensation-related charges,
including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock
transactions, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iii)
expenses associated with acquisitions and strategic investments,
(iv) amortization of debt issuance costs, (v) restructuring
charges, (vi) adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest,
and (vii) the related income tax effect of these adjustments as
well as the non-recurring income tax expense or benefit associated
with acquisitions. Non-GAAP product gross margin is calculated as
non-GAAP product gross profit as a percentage of product revenue.
Non-GAAP operating margin is calculated as non-GAAP operating
income as a percentage of revenue. Our non-GAAP net income per
share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders—basic is
calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to
Snowflake Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. Our non-GAAP net income per
share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders—diluted is
calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to
Snowflake Inc. by the non-GAAP weighted-average number of diluted
shares outstanding, which includes (a) the effect of all
potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options,
restricted stock units, employee stock purchase rights under our
2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan), (b) the potential dilutive
effect of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes using
the if-converted method, and (c) the anti-dilutive impact, if any,
of the capped call transactions entered into in connection with the
Notes. The capped call transactions are expected to reduce the
potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the
Notes under certain circumstances. Under GAAP, the anti-dilutive
impact of the capped calls is not reflected in diluted shares
outstanding until exercised. For the periods presented, there was
no anti-dilutive impact of the capped calls. The potential dilutive
effect of outstanding restricted stock units with performance
conditions not yet satisfied is included in the non-GAAP
weighted-average number of diluted shares at forecasted attainment
levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance
conditions will be met. Amounts attributable to noncontrolling
interest were not material for all periods presented. We believe
the presentation of operating results that exclude these non-cash
or non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information to
investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and
comparison of operating results across reporting periods.
- Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash
provided by operating activities reduced by purchases of property
and equipment and capitalized internal-use software development
costs. Cash outflows for employee payroll tax items related to the
net share settlement of equity awards are included in cash flow for
financing activities and, as a result, do not have an effect on the
calculation of free cash flow. Free cash flow margin is calculated
as free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We believe these
measures provide useful supplemental information to investors
because they are indicators of the strength and performance of our
core business operations.
- Adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted free cash flow is
defined as free cash flow plus (minus) net cash paid (received) on
employer and employee payroll tax-related items on employee stock
transactions. Employee payroll tax-related items on employee stock
transactions are generally pass-through transactions that are
expected to have a net zero impact on free cash flow over time, but
that may impact free cash flow in any given fiscal quarter due to
differences between the time that we receive funds from our
employees and the time we remit those funds to applicable tax
authorities. We believe that excluding the effects of these payroll
tax-related items will enhance stockholders' ability to evaluate
our free cash flow performance, including on a quarter-over-quarter
basis. Adjusted free cash flow margin is calculated as adjusted
free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We believe these
measures provide useful supplemental information to investors
because they are indicators of the strength and performance of our
core business operations.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally for
financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means
to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP financial
measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be
read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of
non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar
measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to
carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our
supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between
these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please
see the tables included at the end of this release for the
reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.
Key Business Metrics
We monitor our key business metrics, including (i) free cash
flow and (ii) the other metrics set forth below to help us evaluate
our business and growth trends, establish budgets, measure the
effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and assess
operational efficiencies. See the section titled “Statement
Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for the definition of
free cash flow. The calculation of our key business metrics may
differ from other similarly titled metrics used by other companies,
securities analysts, or investors.
- Product Revenue. Product revenue is a key metric for us
because we recognize revenue based on platform consumption, which
is inherently variable at our customers’ discretion, and not based
on the amount and duration of contract terms. Product revenue is
primarily derived from the consumption of compute, storage, and
data transfer resources by customers on our platform. Customers
have the flexibility to consume more than their contracted capacity
during the contract term and may have the ability to roll over
unused capacity to future periods, generally upon the purchase of
additional capacity at renewal. Our consumption-based business
model distinguishes us from subscription-based software companies
that generally recognize revenue ratably over the contract term and
may not permit rollover. Because customers have flexibility in the
timing of their consumption, which can exceed their contracted
capacity or extend beyond the original contract term in many cases,
the amount of product revenue recognized in a given period is an
important indicator of customer satisfaction and the value derived
from our platform. Product revenue excludes our professional
services and other revenue.
- Net Revenue Retention Rate. To calculate net revenue
retention rate, we first specify a measurement period consisting of
the trailing two years from our current period end. Next, we define
as our measurement cohort the population of customers under
capacity contracts that used our platform at any point in the first
month of the first year of the measurement period. The cohorts used
to calculate net revenue retention rate include end-customers under
a reseller arrangement. We then calculate our net revenue retention
rate as the quotient obtained by dividing our product revenue from
this cohort in the second year of the measurement period by our
product revenue from this cohort in the first year of the
measurement period. Any customer in the cohort that did not use our
platform in the second year remains in the calculation and
contributes zero product revenue in the second year. Our net
revenue retention rate is subject to adjustments for acquisitions,
consolidations, spin-offs, and other market activity, and we
present our net revenue retention rate for historical periods
reflecting these adjustments. Since we will continue to attribute
the historical product revenue to the consolidated contract,
consolidation of capacity contracts within a customer’s
organization typically will not impact our net revenue retention
rate unless one of those customers was not a customer at any point
in the first month of the first year of the measurement
period.
- Customers with Trailing 12-Month Product Revenue Greater
than $1 Million. To calculate the number of customers with
trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million, we count
the number of customers under capacity arrangements that
contributed more than $1 million in product revenue in the trailing
12 months. For purposes of determining our customer count, we treat
each customer account, including accounts for end-customers under a
reseller arrangement, that has at least one corresponding capacity
contract as a unique customer, and a single organization with
multiple divisions, segments, or subsidiaries may be counted as
multiple customers. We do not include customers that consume our
platform only under on-demand arrangements for purposes of
determining our customer count. Our customer count is subject to
adjustments for acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs, and other
market activity, and we present our customer count for historical
periods reflecting these adjustments.
- Forbes Global 2000 Customers. Our Forbes Global 2000
customer count is a subset of our customer count based on the 2024
Forbes Global 2000 list. Our Forbes Global 2000 customer count is
subject to adjustments for annual updates to the list by Forbes, as
well as acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs, and other market
activity with respect to such customers, and we present our Forbes
Global 2000 customer count for historical periods reflecting these
adjustments.
- Remaining Performance Obligations. Remaining performance
obligations (RPO) represent the amount of contracted future revenue
that has not yet been recognized, including (i) deferred revenue
and (ii) non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced
and recognized as revenue in future periods. RPO excludes
performance obligations from on-demand arrangements and certain
time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears. Portions
of RPO that are not yet invoiced and are denominated in foreign
currencies are revalued into U.S. dollars each period based on the
applicable period-end exchange rates. RPO is not necessarily
indicative of future product revenue growth because it does not
account for the timing of customers’ consumption or their
consumption of more than their contracted capacity. Moreover, RPO
is influenced by a number of factors, including the timing and size
of renewals, the timing and size of purchases of additional
capacity, average contract terms, seasonality, changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, and the extent to which customers are
permitted to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally
upon the purchase of additional capacity at renewal. Due to these
factors, it is important to review RPO in conjunction with product
revenue and other financial metrics disclosed elsewhere
herein.

Restructuring charges relate to certain
costs incurred by us during the three months ended October 31, 2024
in connection with a restructuring plan for a majority-owned
subsidiary.
(2)
Stock-based compensation-related charges
included employer payroll tax-related expenses on employee stock
transactions of approximately $9.3 million and $40.8 million for
the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively, and
$6.2 million and $34.5 million for the three and nine months ended
October 31, 2023, respectively.
(3)
For the periods in which we had non-GAAP
net income, the non-GAAP weighted-average shares used in computing
non-GAAP net income per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common
stockholders—diluted included (a) the effect of all potentially
dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options, restricted stock
units, and employee stock purchase rights under our 2020 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan) and (b) the potential dilutive effect of
shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible senior notes
using the if-converted method, starting from the issuance date of
the convertible senior notes. The capped call transactions entered
into in connection with the convertible senior notes had no
anti-dilutive impact for any of the periods presented. The
potential dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units
with performance conditions not yet satisfied is included in the
non-GAAP weighted-average number of diluted shares at forecasted
attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the
performance conditions will be met.
(4)
The amounts for the three and
nine months ended October 31, 2024 do not include employee payroll
taxes of $81.5 million and $359.6 million, respectively, and the
amounts for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023 do not
include employee payroll taxes of $91.1 million and $273.8 million,
respectively, related to net share settlement of employee
restricted stock units, which were reflected as cash outflows for
financing activities.
