Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Asana’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, Asana utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures to assist in understanding and evaluating its core operating performance. In this release, Asana’s non-GAAP gross margin, operating income, operating income as a percentage of revenue, operating margin, net income, basic and diluted net income per share, adjusted free cash flow, and revenues adjusted for the impact of foreign currency are not presented in accordance with GAAP and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of Asana’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures which can be found in the accompanying financial statements included with this press release.

Asana is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about its financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of Asana’s past performance and future prospects, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations against other companies in Asana’s industry, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by Asana’s management for financial and operational decision-making.

Asana believes the following adjustments and exclusions from its non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others in assessing Asana’s operating performance due to the following factors:

• Stock-based compensation expenses. Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees and executives, management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expenses to better understand the long-term performance of Asana’s core business and to facilitate comparison of its results to those of peer companies.
• Amortization of stock-based compensation capitalized in internal-use software. Consistent with our exclusion of stock-based compensation expenses, management believes it is useful to exclude the amortization of stock-based compensation capitalized in internal-use software in order to better understand the long-term performance of Asana’s core business and to facilitate comparison of its results to those of peer companies.
• Employer payroll tax associated with RSUs. The amount of employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions is dependent on Asana’s stock price and other factors that are beyond its control and that do not correlate to the operation of the business.
• Non-cash expenses. Non-cash expenses include charges for impairment of long-lived assets. We believe the exclusion of certain non-cash items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of its operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.
• Restructuring related costs (benefits). These charges are associated with the re-alignment of our organization to meet business needs, top strategic priorities, and key growth opportunities. We believe it is useful to exclude these expenses in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business, to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies, and to facilitate comparison over multiple periods.
• Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs include direct transaction costs, such as professional and advisory fees. We believe it is useful to exclude these costs to facilitate the comparison of our financial results to those of peer companies, and to facilitate comparison over multiple periods.
• Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets is a non-cash expense that has no direct correlation to the ongoing operations of the Company’s business. Consistent with our exclusion of acquisition-related costs, management believes it is useful to exclude this expense to facilitate the comparison of our financial results to those of peer companies and to facilitate comparison over multiple periods.
• Revenues adjusted for the impact of foreign currency. Calculated by applying the comparative prior period average exchange rates to revenue recognized on invoices billed in currencies other than United States dollars in the current period. Asana provides revenues adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange rates as a framework for assessing how our underlying business performed from period to period, excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. The growth rates for revenues adjusted for the impact of foreign currency are calculated by comparing the revenues adjusted for the impact of foreign currency in the current period to the GAAP revenue from the comparable prior period.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures as compared to GAAP financial measures, including that the non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Asana’s business and an important part of its compensation strategy.

In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures outlined above, Asana also uses the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted free cash flow, which is defined as free cash flow plus costs paid related to restructuring. Asana believes adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures and operational expenses, for investment in its business and to make acquisitions. Asana believes that adjusted free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures Asana’s ability to generate or use cash. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted free cash flow as compared to net cash from operating activities, including that adjusted free cash flow excludes capital expenditures, the benefits of which are realized in periods subsequent to those when expenditures are made.

Definitions of Business Metrics

Customers spending $5,000 or more on an annualized basis, or Core customers

We define customers spending $5,000 or more, which we also refer to as Core customers, as those organizations on a paid subscription plan that had $5,000 or more in annualized GAAP revenues in a given quarter, inclusive of discounts.

Customers spending $100,000 or more on an annualized basis

We define customers spending $100,000 or more as those organizations on a paid subscription plan that had $100,000 or more in annualized GAAP revenues in a given quarter, inclusive of discounts.

Dollar-based net retention rate

Asana’s reported dollar-based net retention rate equals the simple arithmetic average of its quarterly dollar-based net retention rate for the four quarters ending with the most recent fiscal quarter. Asana calculates its dollar-based net retention rate by comparing its revenues from the same set of customers in a given quarter, relative to the comparable prior-year period. To calculate Asana’s dollar-based net retention rate for a given quarter, Asana starts with the revenues in that quarter from customers that generated revenues in the same quarter of the prior year. Asana then divides that amount by the revenues attributable to that same group of customers in the prior-year quarter. Current period revenues include any upsells and are net of contraction or attrition over the trailing 12 months, but exclude revenues from new customers in the current period. Asana expects its dollar-based net retention rate to fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors, including the expected growth of its revenue base, the level of penetration within its customer base, its ability to retain its customers, and the macroeconomic environment.
