Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "goal," "hope," "intend," "may," might," "potential," "predict," "project," "shall," "should," "target," "will" 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 based on Braze's current assumptions, expectations and beliefs and are subject to substantial risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause Braze's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to: (1) unstable market and economic conditions may have serious adverse consequences on Braze's business, financial condition and share price; (2) Braze's recent rapid revenue growth may not be indicative of its future revenue growth; (3) Braze's history of operating losses; (4) Braze's limited operating history at its current scale; (5) Braze's ability to successfully manage its growth; (6) the accuracy of estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth and the impact that global macroeconomic uncertainty, including from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and general market, political, economic and business conditions could have on Braze's or its customers' businesses, financial condition and results of operations; (7) Braze's ability and the ability of its platform to adapt and respond to changing customer or consumer needs, requirements or preferences; (8) Braze's ability to attract new customers and renew existing customers; (9) the competitive markets in which Braze participates and the intense competition that it faces; (10) Braze's ability to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving cybersecurity and data privacy risks, evolving industry standards or changing regulations; and (11) Braze's reliance on third-party providers of cloud-based infrastructure. Further information on potential factors that could affect Braze's business and financial results, outlook and long-term targets is included in Braze's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter and six-months ended July 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on September 13, 2022. The forward-looking statements included in this presentation represent Braze's views only as of the date of this presentation and Braze assumes no obligation, and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit and margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP operating loss and margin, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted. Braze defines non-GAAP gross profit and margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP operating loss and margin and non-GAAP net loss as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, employer taxes related to stock-based compensation and charitable contribution expense. Prior to the first quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, Braze did not adjust non-GAAP gross profit and margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP operating loss and margin or non-GAAP net loss for employer taxes related to stock-based compensation or charitable contribution expense, because these amounts were immaterial in prior periods. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Braze uses this non-GAAP financial information internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that this 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the Unite States (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 Braze's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by Braze's management about which expenses are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation is provided at the end of this presentation for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Braze 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 and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Braze's business. Customer Metrics and Market Data Unless otherwise noted, information in this presentation concerning Braze's industry, including industry statistics and forecasts, competitive position and the markets in which Braze operates is based on information from independent industry and research organizations, other third-party sources and management estimates. Management estimates are derived from publicly available information released by independent industry analysts and other third party sources, as well as data from Braze's internal research, and are based on assumptions made by Braze upon reviewing such data, and Braze's experience in, and knowledge of, such industry and markets, which it believes to be reasonable. Projections, forecasts, assumptions and estimates of the future performance of the industry in which Braze operates and Braze's future performance are necessarily subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. Braze has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by independent industry and research organizations, other third parties or other publicly available information. Accordingly, Braze makes no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of that information nor does Braze undertake to update such information after the date of this presentation.

A single organization could have multiple distinct contracting divisions or subsidiaries, all of which together would be considered a single customer. Dollar-based Net Retention Rate: We calculate our dollar-based net retention rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from a cohort of customers as of 12 months prior to such period-end (the Prior Period ARR). We then calculate the ARR from the same cohort of customers as of the end of the current period (the Current Period ARR). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months, but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the point-in-time dollar-based net retention rate. We then calculate the weighted average point-in-time dollar-based net retention rates as of the last day of each month in the current trailing 12-month period to arrive at the dollar-based net retention rate. Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): We define ARR as the annualized value of customer subscription contracts, including certain premium professional services that are subject to contractual subscription terms, as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms (including contracts for which we are negotiating a renewal). Our calculation of ARR is not adjusted for the impact of any known or projected future events (such as customer cancellations, expansion or contraction of existing customers relationships or price increases or decreases) that may cause any such contract not to be renewed on its existing terms. Remaining Performance Obligations: The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents amounts under non- cancelable contracts expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods, and may be influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the timing of renewals, the timing of service delivery and contract terms. Unbilled portions of the remaining performance obligation are subject to future economic risks including bankruptcies, regulatory changes and other market factors. braze#47braze
