Challenges Ahead

  • Non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 2% to 3% for fiscal year 2023.
  • Forward-looking estimates of non-GAAP operating margin are not reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures due to the variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts.
  • Future hiring and employee turnover may not be reasonably predictable.
  • Stock-based compensation expense depends on variables largely not within the control of management.
  • Acquisitions, the timing and nature of which are difficult to predict with accuracy, may significantly impact stock-based compensation expense.
