These statements are forward-looking and actual results may
differ materially. Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements safe
harbor below for information on the factors that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking
statements.
Okta has not reconciled its expectations as to non-GAAP
operating loss and non-GAAP net loss per share to its most directly
comparable GAAP measure because certain items are out of Okta’s
control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a
reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP operating loss and
non-GAAP net loss per share is not available without unreasonable
effort.
Conference Call Information:
Okta will host a conference call and live webcast for analysts
and investors at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time on March 5, 2020. The news
release with the financial results will be accessible from the
Company’s website at investor.okta.com prior to the conference
call. Interested parties can access the call by dialing (800)
458-4121 or (323) 794-2093 and using the passcode 4522098.
A live webcast of the conference call will be accessible from
the Okta investor relations website at investor.okta.com.
Supplemental Financial and Other Information:
Supplemental financial and other information can be accessed
through the Company’s investor relations website at
investor.okta.com.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release and the accompanying tables contain the
following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit,
non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating
margin, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net loss
per share, free cash flow, current calculated billings and
calculated billings. Certain of these non-GAAP financial measures
exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discount,
charitable contributions, amortization of acquired intangibles,
acquisition-related expenses and loss on early extinguishment of
debt, net of debt issuance costs.
Okta believes that 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 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 the Company’s financial statements. In addition,
they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the
exercise of judgment by the Company's management about which
expenses are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP
financial measures. A reconciliation is provided below for each
non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable
financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.
Okta 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 financial
results, including this press release, and not to rely on any
single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, including but not limited to, statements regarding our
financial outlook, product development, business strategy and
plans, market trends and market size, opportunities and
positioning. These forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections. Words such as
"expect," "anticipate," "should," "believe," "hope," "target,"
"project," "goals," "estimate," "potential," "predict," "may,"
"will," "might," "could," "intend," "shall" and variations of these
terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these
forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking
statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking
statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many
of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our
control. For example, the market for our products may develop more
slowly than expected or than it has in the past; our operating
results may fluctuate more than expected; there may be significant
fluctuations in our results of operations and cash flows related to
our revenue recognition or otherwise; a network or data security
incident that allows unauthorized access to our network or data or
our customers’ data could damage our reputation; we could
experience interruptions or performance problems associated with
our technology, including a service outage; we may not be able to
pay off our convertible senior notes when due; and global economic
conditions could deteriorate. Further information on potential
factors that could affect our financial results is included in our
most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating
activities, less cash used for purchases of property and equipment,
net of sales proceeds, and capitalized internal-use software costs.
Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow divided by
total revenue.
